Died, at the State Lunatic Asylum, in this city, on Monday, June 16, 1873, Mr. C. G. C. Canby. Mr. Canby lived at West Ely, Marion county, Mo., and was a highly respected citizen of that place.
It is always a painful duty to the journalist to record the death of any one and it is double painful under the peculiar and distressing circumstances which surrounded the subject of this notice. Mr. Canby was a brother of the late General Canby, who was murdered by the Modocs, and it is thought that the tragic death of the latter led to what was hoped would only prove a temporary spell of insanity. Mr. Canby was brought here and placed in the Asylum a short time ago, where he, on Monday, breathed his last. His remains were taken home for burial.
Born 19 March 1823 Boone County, Kentucky Son of IG Canby – brother of ERS Canby
