The eldest son, Mr. Charles Day Lanier,
was born at Macon, Ga., September 12, 1868, and was graduated A.B.
at the Johns Hopkins University in 1888. At one time he was
Assistant Editor of `The Cosmopolitan Magazine', a position that he gave up
only to become Business Manager of `The Review of Reviews',
with which he has been connected from its beginning.
He is the author of several graceful sketches in the magazines.
The second son, Sidney, is passionately fond of music,
and would have devoted himself thereto but for life-long ill-health.
After teaching three years in West Virginia, he has started a fruit farm
at Tryon, N.C., where he hopes to build up his health.
The third son, Henry Wysham, was prevented from entering the Johns Hopkins
by a partial failure of sight, and for three years has devoted himself
to railroad engineering in Baltimore and in Jamaica. The youngest,
Robert Sampson, only fourteen, is at Tryon, N.C., with his mother.
That interest in Lanier's life and work did not cease with his death,
there is abundant evidence. On October 22, 1881, a memorial meeting was held
by the Faculty and students of the Johns Hopkins University, at which
addresses*1* were made by President Gilman and Professor Wm.
