 The Rev Thomas E. Gilbert, pastor of St. Paul's Methodist church, Water bury, died Saturday morning at S:30 o'clock at his home in that city after an illness of two weeks. The Rev. MT. Gilbert was in the prime of life, being but forty-three years old, and has been located in Waterbury two years, just long enough to become generally known and very highly esteemed. The Waterbury American says:
 Thomas F. Gilbert was born in South Carolina, and from early boyhood had been marked during his life as a boy and man of an exceptionally pure and wholesome type. He made an ideal Christian minister, sympathetic, pa- tient,, practical and charitable by na- ture MT Gilbert graduated from the Wofford theological school in his native state, and had been in the ministry for the last eighteen years. Before he came to Waterbury, which was two years ago next month, he was stationed at Westport.
 About month ago. with his other brothers, the deceased went to the bed- side of dying brother, and after re- turning he had the trip to make the second time, for the brothers wife could not sustain the shock and was also passing away The second trip was too much for MT. Gilbert. and it is believed that it was the cause of his illness. The three brothers of MT. Gill; bert arrived firm different parts of the country in time to take their places at his bedside and clasp his hand ere his life departed. There were five brothers originally, and the affection that bound them was unusually warm and strong even for brothers. The loss of the older of the five, and now of the one whom the rest all looked up to, comes with crushing force upon them, and this morning it was heart-broken and forlorn circle. The Rev. H. M Gilbert is pastor of the First Presby- terian church, Chetopa, Kan. Allan A. and John T. Gilbert are lawyers in Chicago. All the brothers have been here since Friday. Mrs. Gilbert is the daughter of Mir. and Mrs Stephen Mix of New Haven, one of the oldest fami- ] lies in Connecticut. She Is an only child The lady is nearly prostrated. The oldest little girl is thirteen years old and the youngest five.
 Arrangements have not yet been ! made for the funeral, which will take place Tuesday, but it is expected that Mir. Gilbert will be buried in New Ha- | ven.
