Oliver Hazard Perry Kant, whose Jong life of prominence in business and financial circles forms a part ot ?he history of this City and County, quietly yielded to the death angel last Sunday uight. For several years the deceased had been growing feebler, and several months ago, realizing that in all prob ability ho was approaching the end of his lire, he left his plantation home on Seneca Uiver where he had retired in ?88?, and made his home with his son in this city, the Kev.
