A.E.ROCKWELL IS
 CALLED BY DEATH
(Continued from First Page) :. Co. for their attitude toward Mir. Rockwell.
Bristol In Mourning Especial to The Herald)


 Bristol, Feb. 17.-Bristol was plunged into mourning last night, when announcement of the death of Albert F. Rockwell at the New Britain General Hospital was made. Although MT. Rockwell had suffered from some time with diabetes, he had been able to handle much of his business. A few days ago, he at- tempted to remove corn by cutting it with a razor. Infection developed and poisoning followed.
 A general. air or depression envel- oped this city this morning as the loss of MT. Rockwell was keenly felt He had been a leading figure in the city for many years, had been in- strumental in the industrial and political life of the community and was philanthropist.
 Benefactor of City
 Rockwell Park was given to the city by him and the erection of the new high school and the building of the Memorial Boulevard were mainly through his efforts. To. re- were his memory. flags of the city were placed at half mast, where they will be kept until after the funeral. In order that the city hall flag might be lowered, the Seagrave aerial ladder of the Central Fire House was ordered out. as the rope on the pole had become caught. Albert F. Rockwell was born on April 8, 1862, in Woodruff, Steuben County, N. Y, the son of MT. and Mrs. Leander Rockwell, his father being a. merchant and farmer. Among his ancestors, was John Rockwell, who came to this country in 164O from Dorchester, England.
 In his youth. MT. Rockwell re- moved. to Morris. H., where he re- ceived his early education. When only 13 years old, he started on his business career, entering the en- ploy of the Field, &r Letter store in Chicago. This business palled and two years later, he went to Florida, and became a carpenter. The mer- cantile strain conquered and he soon gave up carpentry for the manager ship of country store. graduating into the fruit business. From the fruit business, he. became a hard ware merchant, conducting a hard ware store in Jacksonville for four years.
 Yellow fever breaking out in Jacksonville, Edward R.. Rockwell, his brother went to Michigan, leav- ing A. r. Rockwell in charge. The epidemic ruined the business and A. F. Rockwell joined his brother in Bay City. They decided to go into manufacturing and wrote to the New Haven Clock Go. They were referred to H. C. Thompson of Bristol, then a clock manufac- turer, and decided to come to this city.
