Aaron Burr's Last Relative.
From the PhiladeIphia Times.

The last even distant relative of Aaron
Burr is dead. He was halter He pat
tented a hat machine years ago. Up to
that time hat bodies had been made by
hand. Burr's machine so revolutionized
the business that 100000 hats were
made upon his machine in one twelve
month. For many years he virtually had
a monopoly of the hat trade, and when
his patent expired he had amassed a
great fortune. At the breaking out of
the war he practically organized the
famous Ellsworth Zouaves and contribu-
ted literally to our early military estab-
lishment. He was in many respects a
singular man, but a pushing, energetic
citizen. His father was Aaron Burr's
first cousin, and his grandmother sister
of Jonathan Edwards. He sprang from
that large Burr family that once lived
near Coopertown, N. Y. Now that he is
dead it will be exceedingly hard to find
another man bearing the name of Burr
who is even remotely connected with the
Inflated but brilliant man who was once
such power in our political and social
life
