BENJAMIN Bracket.

n very poor health for more than a

In 1852 he went to California, where

Having married Mrs. Ann S. Cliff
ford, 10 children were born to them,
five Of whom grew to maturing. viz,
Daniel. who has been living with his
father; Nathan, deceased; Prescott,
who resides in Winslow; Ivory, re-
siding in Montana; and Mrs. James

Mr. Bracket was one of Il family
of 10 children, of whom only one
brother, Daniel Bracket of Detroit,
Ne, survives.
He spent the greater part of his life
in Clinton, where he was well known

etables and choice fruit which he so
much enjoyed giving.
