Early Death

Judah died of yellow fever (then known as Panama fever). He caught the disease in Panama while taking a ship voyage with his wife to New York City, apparently becoming infected during their land passage across the Isthmus of Panama. They were going to New York for him to seek alternative financing to buy out the Big Four investors.
