He was prom nent member of St. Thomas church. Before settling in New Haven he spent six years in the Sandwich Islands, together with his bro- ther, MT. Melville M. Gower, the flour deal CT corner of Grand and Olive streets. MT. George Gower's partner is at present on wedding trip to Old Point Comfort The deseased was educated in part at the Rectory school in Hamden, well remem. bered private school in this section.

 NEW HAVEN, CONN.,, May 15, 1885. Circular, No. 1.
 Time noiseless wing, is fast bringing us to the day which warns the heart of every true soldier. Memorial day" The time when it is our duty and privilege to call to mind the virtues of our com rades 'gone before;'' to visit their last resting place on earth; to beautify their graves with bright blossoms of spring, and renew in our own hearts kindly memories of those whose ties with us were welded in the fire of battle"
 It is meet and proper that 'all our hearts should unite as one" in making that day not only a memo rial to ourselves, but one that may live always in every patriotic heart of this great naton so that long after we have answered the call of the ''Sus preme Commander B and joined the Grand Army of the Republic above. the Sons of Loyalty and Daughters of Liberty throughout the length and breadth of our land may ever keep the 3Oth day of May as sacred to the cause of freedom, and the memory of those "who have died that a nation might live"
 To that end the commander earnestly desires that every comrade of Admiral. Foote post do his full duty next Memorial day. Let us, one and all, take active part in all ceremonies at the cemeteries and other exercises of the day. The advent of visiting comrades, whose zeal prompts them to make a long journey for the purpose of decorating the grave of loved commander should be a special incentive to the posts of our city. Let every individual member by his presence help to fill the ranks, that Post No F may be fully represented and the 3Oth day of May, 1885, remembered with honest pride by every member of the post. By order,
