The death has only been recently reported of Edward Franklin Cate, which occurred at the Paradise Valley Sanitarium, National City, Cal., March 5, 1917. The cause of his death was hemiplegia.

Mr. Cate was born in Wolfeboro, N. H., December 23, 1853, his parents being Moses T. and Mary Ann (Morrison) Cate. He prepared for college at Wolfeboro Academy, and took his freshman year at Amherst, entering Dartmouth at the beginning of sophomore year. He was a member of Psi Upsilon and Phi Beta Kappa.

After graduation he studied law in his native town in the office of William C. Fox 52. He began practice in Minneapolis, Minn., but after five or six years returned to Wolfeboro to care for his parents in their old age, and continued in practice there.

He was a man of quiet and scholarly habits, a great reader, and a deep student of literature and history. He was fond of travel, and had traveled much in this country and abroad.

October 29, 1912, Mr. Cate was married in Boston to Florence M., daughter of John P. and Julana (Wiswell) Brown of Wolfeboro, who survives him.
