Trumbull died at liis residence. No. 408 La Salle avenue, at 10:45 o'clock yesterday morning. He had been sick tor two week, his ailment being a form of Bright’s disease. His death removes another veteran of tho civil wnr, and one whose life lias been singularly interesting and full of adventure.General Trumbull was born in London, England, iu 1820. lie was educated with a view to entering tho priesthood, but this aotivc and stirring nature sought other pursuits, and while he was yet in his teens he became identified with tho Chartist movement. At the age of 21 he sailed for the United States, and had the experience of being shipwrecked. On landing lie set tl*d in Vermont and obtained his first work, helping to build a section of railroad. Tbe shovel aud wheel burrow were the first tools he handled, but in a little while he gave these up, and took to teaching school in Vermont. Uo improved his spare lime while i»t this occupation until he moved to Virginia, where his experience was not so pleasant. His strong stand on the slavery question made him many enemies, and ho decided to move west, this time settling in Iowa.Soon after his removal to Iowa the Mexican war broke out, and he enlisted and served through the campaign. On returning he took up the study of law, and held in succession lb® positions of prosecuting attorney and member of the legislature for his district.When war was declared between the North and South he took the field as captain of the Third Array Infantry. Later he organized tho Ninth Iowa Cavalry, which ho commanded until tho close of tho war, when he waa retired with tho title of brigadier general. He waa wounded in soverat engagements and very severely in the battle of Shiloh. While bis war record was of the boat, he never applied for and never received a ponson.At tho close of tho war General Trumbull returned to low*, nettling in Waterloo, where ho resumed hie law practice, and politics capio in for a share of \\U aUeutiou. From Waterloo ho moved to Dubuque, where he oontinuod to practice law until 1808, when General Grant waa elected president, and under bis ad ministration Gen. Trumbull was appointed collector ot internal revenue for Ulo Third Iowa dlatriot, with hoadquartcra at Pubuquo. For eight- years, dumig Grant’s two terms, General Trumbull held this position and carried out Ita duties with marked ability.About twelve years ago ho located in Chicago and booame an native worker in many and varied Helds.
