THE LATE MIR BRINSMADE,

The funeral of the late Samuel Ieavitt Brinsmade occurred last week Thursday from the Congregational church, con- gregaCion which nearly filled the audito- rum being present at the services. Rev MT Carter, pastor of the church, of1icia- ted. The pail bearers were Hon John c. Brinsmade of the -Gunnery school, William G. Brinsmade,, Dr, W. J., Ford and A. c. Baker, cousins, and Ebrothers- in-law of the deceased The subject of this sketch was a son of Thomas F.. Brinsmade, and with the exception of few months passed in New York as a clerk in early life, the entire span of his life was spent in Washington. His grandfather, Daniel B. Brinsmade, was a prominent man in town and county affairs in his day. MT BriHsmade, like many an other successful Washington man of to- day, had his early education at the Gun- nery. He first began clerking for. Hurl- but & Baker. Later he formed part nership with A. G. Baker, uhder the firm name of Baker & Brinsmade. They erected a block at the Depot, and in- troduced the various branches of busi- ness, til they compelled trade to come to their door. After about IS years of successful business life here they. retired or. account of ill health. Mr Brinsmade subsequently, opened up his home on the Green to city guests, and every year seemed to increase the
 
 popularity of his place with his city friends. MT Brinsmade will be sadly missed by the Washington summer colo ny. His stage to the Green was always loaded down in summer time. He also had the contract for carrying the United State mail from the Depot to'the Green. MT Brinsmade is survived by his wife, a son, Daniel B. Brinsmade, a student in ! Yale college, a daughter, Miss Nellie Brinsmade, who was in school at Green field. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs A. G. Baker and Mrs Dr W. J. Ford. The late Mir Brinsmade was good busi- ness man. He always looked after his interests, but was square and straight | forward in his dealings. He met poor 1 man as frankly as one who possessed | thousands, and this may have been in a measure the secret of his popularity.

> The Philo. M. Trowbridge Post of the Grand Army. of the Republic in Wood bury disbanded Wednesday, January 23. By death and removal the number of members who sstatedly attendedits meet ings had become reduced to five. Of course SO small number could not bear the expenses, although it had bank de posit of between $100 and $2C0. It is all very sad for the veterans and their patriotic friends that this action should have become necessary. But it is only one thing in the order of events. Every thing is hurrying on, and passing away
 into human history. It is more than 30 years since the greatest.events in the life history of the veterans closed, ~and were sealed up to the great day of reckoning. Year by year the survivors of the great struggle have been falling all around us as the leaves fall in autumn. Those left are like the few scattering leaves on the trees as winter approaches. Sooner or later those will have passed, ataps" will have been heard for thealastsone and the books will have been closed. Every one should strive to leave worthy. life re cord. Something for survivors to re- member with pleasure or profit. In early life the veterans made their record, and glorious one it was. AS the centuries move on the record will grow brighter and brighter on the scroll of fame.
