NEW PRESTON.
 DEATH OF Fl. w. BROWN.
 We are again called to record the death or another citizen, whose de- cease has surprised ali. Henry w. Brown, whose illness was reported in last weeks BEE, developed pneumonia on Wednesday of last week and by the weakness of his heart declined rapidly till Friday evening and died at 8 D.. m;, Of that day. A trained nurse was called from New Haven on Thursday and with his wife and pr Marcy's all most constant attendance, nothing | seemed possible to stay deaths power and conquest. Henry had eir- | seemed younger. Born here, his face has been most familiar in this village, | through nearly his entire lifetime. His connection with Elm Shade and Waramaug mills extended to many years. He was also clerk in O. P. Ly- man s store for 12 years, and his later connection with the Carter house made him identified with the interests of the south side of Lake Waramaug for the past 10 or 12 years. His sue cess through life in business way like thousands of others, has not been what probably he anticipated or de- sired and latterly it has been thought that this matter may have weighed too heavily on his mind and when the grip fastened upon him, he was not stand the attack. However, he was very nervous and despondent from the commencement of his last illness and hard to prescribe for and nurse. He leaves, besides his widow, Mrs Ida Granniss Brown, an aged mother, Mrs I: Brown, brother. Frank S., and sister, Mrs Augusta Corning, whose daughter is Mrs F. J. Hosford. His funeral was attended on Monday after noon of the present week, at the home of his mother. next door to the cot tage where he died. Rev MT Hooker reading the Episcopal service, and the interment followed in the cemetery here in the burial plot known as the new ground or cemetery corner. So passes from us another who has been Known to the writer from quite early bOyhood. Schooled together, moved in the same society together, eat, walked, rode, danced and entertained together through gentle youth and having been so close together all through life, the writer feels this love as personal and can hardly yet realize the lifelong acquaintance is ended. Henry was naturally witty and very apt and often ito set table on roar" With old and young, his sal lies were well taken and many gath
 
 kinds were not complete without his presence. Like many others who have preceded him, there cannot be another here that will duplicate Hen ry Brown in many respects.
 Farewell. old friend! It seems so strange. That IF iS. should Id write this same: of whom Upon this earth. beyond my own.
