| INFO | OBITUARY. New Haven Evening Register 15 Dec 1900, page 2. "Accomplished Musician and Composer, dies near Edinburgh, Scotland. Heart Trouble was the Cause. Was a Performer on Cello and Organ of Ability, and Organized the Famous Vested Choir of St. John's P.E. Church, Bridgeport -- A Widow Survives Him. (Special to The Register) Bridgeport, Dec. 15.--Word was received here today that Professor I. [sic] Hayden Waud, late of New Haven, is dead. The circumstances pertaining to his death are distressing and his vast array of friends in this country will be grieved to learn the sad intelligence. [paragraph] Not only was Professor Waud widely known in the musical world but he was intimately acquainted in literary and social circles and was a great favorite among all who came in contact with him. He was scholarly, a composer of classical music and a master of his art. Over 25 years ago he came from England to Quebec, Canada, to assume the duties of organist in the cathedral there. [paragraph] Previously he was a member of the Queen's orchestra. After a few years in Quebec Professor Waud was induced by some of his friends who had come from England and settled in Albany, to give up his Quebec engagement and accept a similar position in Albany, N.Y. [paragraph] About 20 years ago Professor Waud received the appointment of organist at St. John's Epispocal Church, this city [Bridgeport, Connecticut]. It was during the time Rev. Eaton W. Maxey was Rector of St. John's and the famous choir was in its prime, with Mrs. Henry Drew as soprano. [paragraph] Professor Waud presided at the St. John's organ for six years and then resigned to make place for Professor S. S. Sanford of this city. [paragraph] Professor Waud removed to Stamford and received several engagements at different church organs and after several years removed from Stamford to New Haven. It was in this latter place that Professor Waud received a warm welcome and former [sic = formed] many friendships among the cultivated people of that collegiate city. He was appreciated. [paragraph] He became a valued member of the Symhony society. All of his compositions were readily placed in the market by the Pond Publishing Company and his music was promptly taken by music lovers. [paragraph] He was a gifted 'cello player as well as a master of the piano and organ. [paragraph] About two years ago Prof Waud had a severe illness, and hoping to regain health he decided last June to go back to England. He and Mrs. Waud bade good bye to their friends in New Haven, expecting to return after a time. [paragraph] They went to Edinburgh, and Prof. Waud found that he could secure an engagement to preside at the organ in one of the churches at Joppa, near Edinburgh...[letter of recommendation included here from Eaton W. Maxey, Rector of St. Luke's Church, Bridgeport, Conn.] ... Late in November, Prof. Waud was returning from church at night and accidentally stepped off the sidewalk and fell in the street, badly injuring his arm. He was laid up for several days, and November 28 was taken with convulsions of the heart, and died December 1 after great suffering. [paragraph] Mrs. Waud, one of the most devoted of wives, is left to mourn a husband of scholarly attainments, a distinguished musician as well as a husband -- one of the best, generous, sympathetic natures -- and a man whom none knew but to admire and respect. Mrs. Waud is residing at No. 1 Dalkeith Street, Joppa, Scotland. (NHavEvRegDig 15Dec1900 p.2.) |
