 New York and Mount Carmel.

The death of Mrs William Brewster, of New York and Edgehill, Mount Car mel. which was mentioned in yester- days Courier, comes as q great shock to her many friends in New Haven MT. and Mrs. Brewster, with thelr cousin, Miss Mary Chapman, of og- densburg, N. Y, had just completed d motor trip across Europe from London to Rome and back to London, and had taken the Cunard line steamship Luca- nia on their homeward voyage. At Queenstown they were to be joined py their little daughter, Barbara, who had spent the winter with cousins in Ire land. While few details have been ca bled, 1t is known that Mrs. Brewster was at dinner, shortly after leaving Liverpool, and happy in the anticlpa- tion of meeting her daughter on the next day, when st1e died, presumably of heart disease
 Marie Munger Brewster was the daughter of Charlotte Sweet and the late Judge George Munger, a graduate of the class of 1S4S, Yale. She was born in Rochester, N. Y. After the death of Judge Munger, Mrs. Munger took her three daughters to Europe, and much of their education was acquired at Tours, France. Marie Munger was mar ried to William Brewster in 1889, and for the past ten years they have spent a large part of their time at their coun- try home, Edgehill, Mount Carmel This charming spot was formerly the home of Rev. Joseph Brewster, William Brewster's uncle. The grounds were laid out, some fifty years ago, by Donald G. Mitchell.
 Mrs. Brewster had unusually brilliant intellectual gifts and a mental eager ness which made her attractive in rare degree. She was a fine musician possessed of delightful voice, which had been carefully trained But while her cultivation and the activity of hel mind impressed those who had tht privilege of her friendship, the quail ties that most endeared her to all were the warmth and largeness of her hear and the quickness of her sympathy No pain or sorrow ever came near hel that she did not instinctly feel. Sh' cheered by her never-failing courage and optimism, and she comforted thos, in trouble by making them feel tha { she understood and shared their bur den. Her interest in every good worl was boundless. She gave money, bu she gave, still more, herself.
 At Mount Carmel she was the nov ing spirit in all works of charity anC schemes for the improvement of tn village life. She was largely instru mental in the gift of the parish hous
 at Hamden; the prime mover in tn Mount Carmel village library; the foun der and supporter of the Hamden Cho ral club; an active worker in the vii
 lage Improvement association, and lady bountiful to the poor, and espe 2 clally to all the children of the village !, Sine was an active member of the Epis
 copal church, but her sympathy an her charity recognized no boundaries c creed.
 In her home, where hospitality al
 ways relgned, she was the most charm ing of hostesses, possessed with the fac ulty of bringing out all that was bes , in her guests.
 Besides her husband and only chilc
 Barbara, she leaves married siste
 Mrs. E. Terry Smith, of Hartford, an , her mother, Mrs Munger, who survive = her.
