 1cotetuay hltcHHelu bnqulref says
 in an obituary concerning MT. Trow-
 bridge: Though native of New Ha-
 ven and most active in business there
 for more than thirty years, MT Trow-
 bridge has, for nearly that entire time
 been closely identified with Litchffeld,
 boarding here for several summers and
 then building a handsome house on
 North street Here he delighted to re-
 ceive his friends, both from the city and
 country, and show them valuable and
 interesting souvenirs brought from all
 over the world. Here 1t was that he
 made his last fight against the great
 Conqueror and from here, as the
 leaves were falling from the beautiful
 elms he loved so we'll his spirit fled to
 be at rest with his Master.
 MT. Trowbridge was married on the
 22d of November, 1864, to Katharine,
 only child of the late Hon. Francis Ba- con of Litchfield, who, with one child Francis Bacon Trowbridge, survives him. In their bereavement they have the deepest sympathy of those who for years have been their friends and neigh bors and who now feel personal loss in the death of one they loved in life and whose memory they will respect and honor.
 Devoted as he was to New Haven and known there as man of generous
 and philanthropic nature, he was equally interested in Litchfeld and prompt to respond to any call that would promote her interests. Only the past summer he was one of those most interested in getting a village flag and
 pole and it was extremely appropriate that on the news of his death. the flag should be lowered to half mast. When MT. Trowbridge came here this summer he was in poor health, but recovered. Some eleven weeks ago he was again taken i'll, this time with liver complications, and never left the house. Through it all he was brave and cheer | full, looking always on the bright side | and encouraging those near and dear to him.
 RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. The board of directors of the Me chanics' bank at meeting held yester- day morning adopted resolutions upon | the death of Thomas R. Trowbridge, a member of the board. Remarks were made on the loss sustained in this I death. The board voted to attend the | funeral on Friday. MT. Trowbridge succeeded his father, the late Thomas | R. Trowbridge, upon his death in 1883. as a member of the board of directors. | ACTION BY THE REPUBLICAN l LEAGUE
