POSED IN KINGS
GARB FOR ARTIST
Death of Mrs. Thomas BrOekingtOn Re
calls Interesting Fact Concerning
Her Late Husband.

The death last week of Mrs Thomas
Brocklngton, whose family has been as
sociated with the business interests of
the town to more or less extent for the
last half century, recalls the fact that
her late husband; Thomas Brockington
was recognized as one of the expert
workmen in the Estey Organ company
for many years beginning back with the
days when Dea Jacob Estey was at the
head of the firm and running down
through the family with the late Gen
Julius Estey and Gov. Levi X Fuller as
dominating factors in the factory and
ITS extensive sales management. Mr.
Brockington 5 genius and courteous man
ner gave him an unusual and democratic
popularity with those with whom he as
sOciated. He was exceedingly fond OF
good music and especially was he attrac
ted by a good brass band. He was FIRE
quently sought as the drum major of
such organizations and his achievements
in this line were hard to initiate.
In the days of the late Robert Gordon
Hardie and his varied portrait com
missions of prominent men all over the
country and even on the continent, Mr.
Brocklngton was accustomed to pose for
the artist in the garb of some of his sub
iects, among which was that of the late
King Edward, whose portrait the artist
was commissioned to paint for the grand
lodge of Masons of England the portrait
now adjoining the kings lodge room in
London. while a copy hangs in the Ma
sonic temple here in Brattleboro. In the
preparation of this painting the uniform
and regalia of the late king were sent to
Brattleboro that the artist might more
faithfully prepare the painting. 1t be
came necessary to have someone don the
uniform and pose before the artist and
for this purpose Mr.. Brockington was
selected, and day after day he sat in the
royal uniform while Mr. Hardie faith
fully painted from a splendid likeness
of King Edward whose uniform Mr.
Brockington proudly wore.-BrattleborC
