Evanhoe ,; ' a retired New York city detective , died early Satur- day morning at his home on Senix avenue , Center Moriches , after six week s , of Jlmess. Funeral service was conducted at the residence Mon- day afternoon at 1 o ' cl o ck , with the Rev. S. Hall Barrett , Jr., pastor of the Center x Moriches Presbyterian chureh ,: officiating, followed by inter- ment in Greenfield cemetery, West Hempstead. Mr. Evanhoe was born in Wuertz- burg, Germany, February. 14 , 1853 and came to this eountry when three years old. With little schooling his wits and ambition; served to secure him an enviable position from which he retired and , with his wife , he mov- ed to Center Moriche s 41 years ago. They had been married in 1892 in Chicago , the bride being Miss Jessie Estelle Orr , of New York , and their honeymoon was spent at the World' s Fair in Chicago and Niagara Falls. In 1899 they built their \Starboard Light\ residence on Evanhoe ' s Poini; at the foot of Senix avenue/ Center Moriches , -which . they sold later arid built their present home adjoining it 14 years- ago: In the-first- house the first electric service in Center Mor- iches 1 was Installed. Mr. Evanhoe was one of the orig- ina l \famous forty \ detectiv e ser- geants , a rank given him in 1891 , by Chief Thomas F. Byrnes at ; 300 Mulberry street , New York , the squadron of sleuths which effectively terrorized the . underworld of the great city. - First a river scow worker , he had become a city patrolman in Feb- ruary, 1878: He was prominent' also as an amateur boxer. He served under Commiss ioner Theodore Roose- velt , and played his part in the stren- uous Teddy ' s campaigns to put down crime. So excellent was his record , that when , about the t ini e of his re- tirement , the liberated Cubans sought to employ an experienced American police official to head the Havana force , Inspector B yrnes recommended him for the position. But Sergeant Evanhoe refused and chose to settl e down , to quiet life on Long . Island. One of his most notable experiences was in connection with the Mrs. I. Townsend Burden diamond robbery, when he was detailed to Europe on the trail of the criminals. He ac- complished his mission , returning with members of tlie gang. Mr. Evanhoe had a book of many newspaper cli ppings pertaining to ep- isodes in his life. One referring to the \Starboard Light\ homo tells of a green ligh t disp layed in its front to guide the baymen and a 70(J-pound belt from Cuba to be used in fog. The bell bears the inscription , \Don Sebastion Ricardo , Anno Domini , .1829. \ In tracing the history of the bell , Mr. Evanhoe said that Ricardo , a marshal in the Spanish army, pre- sented the hell to the church , but, the Cuban insurgents wrecked the church in which it was placed and sold the \bell for old metal. Mr. Evanhoe was always interested in what he termed \ pluggin g the Moriches , \ and anxious for the vil- lage to go forward also in helping the people with gcod advice. The pallbearers were Supervisor Edgar A. Sharp, Chief Edward . N. Bridge oi the Brookhaven Town po- lice , Commissioner of- Elections R. Ford Hughes , Arthur Voos , assistant to Welfare Commissioner Irving Wil- liams , John C. Spragu-e and Fred Bowditch. ILnkm tSrove Miss Groben has a large area to cover — Help her by phoning. . . .
