John Church Cushing Hoskins was born at Lyman, N. H., Jan. 18, 1820, and died at his home in Sioux City, lowa, August 13, 1909. The extremely hot and oppressive weather was the cause of his death. He retained his faculties to the end, and passed away as quietly and peacefully as a child goes to sleep. He was in active life a civil engineer, and had lived at Sioux City for many years. He was present in 1901 at the sixtieth anniversary of the graduation of his class, and was greatly attached to the College.
