Litchfield enquirer., 1881-03-31
w Washlngton.

When the Thursdays mail came from Lltchfeld, there came also by railroad the sad report that Mir. Hollister was dead, and eagerly was the Enquirer sought to gain if possible more definite intelligence, but evil dently the paper went to press before his de- mise; for except the item that mentioned his illness from infammatory rhumatism there was no report. But tue New York Friday papers contained obituaries, and we learned his death resulted from heart disease. Thus one after another death seems to single out the sons of Washington. But few months ago Mir. H. was one of the nourners that fol- lowed his townsman and cassnate, MT. w. B. Brinsmade to his final resting place, and on his return to Litchield, supped with Mir. $. A. Baker, whose sudden death from apo- plexy was recorded Tn the Enquirer two weeks ago. He has followed the loved children of whom death from time to time bereft him, to the Spirit Land leaving but one to comfort and sustain the bereaved mother; but the sympatil:es of host of friends here and else where are with them, and universal regret is expressed as the sad news goes from one to another of his many friends in Washington pr. Geo T. Brown of Sandy Hook is making visit a his fathers Dr. O. Brown's- a. fortunates tI,ingz fdr Mr. Smiedel, an employe of Baker S Brinslnade, who had an ugly wound in his head made by revolving crank that slipped from his hand, aLd laid bare the skull severing two arteries from which the blood spurt ed fearfHlly. The senior doctor was on a delayed Shepaug train and l the junior took charge of the Case. The pa- tient is reported doing well, but there is still danger from inflammation. <st ,f J.
