Morgan L. BRAINARD passed away Monday morning at his home on Park avenue after an illness of about two years, his affliction being pernicious anaemia.
Deceased was born in Medina in 1854 and had always resided here. After receiving a common school education at the Medina Free Academy, he studied law with Messrs. Childs & Pitts, and on being admitted to the bar formed a co-partnership with Judge Fred L. Downs, under the firm name of Downs & Brainard, which continued for two years.

Mr. Seymour BRAINARD, one of the oldest and best known residents of Medina died at his home on West Center street about ten o'clock last evening, after an illness of less than two months, aged nearly ninety years.
Mrs. BRAINARD died in September, and although Mr. BRAINARD has always enjoyed the best of health, and at the time of the death of his wife, was in good health, yet he took to his bed within a few days and gradually grew weaker until the end.
Mr. BRAINARD was born in Rome, New York, ninety years ago next week. He learned the baker's trade in that city, and when a young man started for Buffalo, riding on a packet boat on the Erie Canal. When he reached Medina, he saw a large sign over a building, situate where the Empire Couch Company building stands, on the canal bank, reading 'Smith's Bakery'. Mr. BRAINARD got off and applied for a job, which he obtained. He has since made Medina his home, and this was sixty- six years ago.
For sixty-four years Mr. BRAINARD had been a merchant upon the streets, and enjoys the distinction of having been in business longer than any other resident here. He has seen them all come and go, has seen every business building in Medina erected, has seen the whole Main street burn on both sides; in fact, he was always in touch with its history and its advancement.
He has frequently related incidents that occurred in the earlier days. He used to tell of going out walking and tramping up near where the Walsh House now stands and looking out at the fields of wheat. In those days the business was all transacted down on the docks, and Main Street was not even mentioned. He has seen the village affairs administered in the old Gamner's Hall, in the building now known as White's Hotel, in the Fuller block on Center Street, and in the new village hall at the south end of Main Street. His life has witnessed many changes in the village in every way, and his recollections were pleasant memories and interesting accounts.
Mr. BRAINARD was always a good business man, a fine character, a man in whom the entire village reposed the utmost faith and confidence. He never held a political office in his life, yet he was always considered as one of the foremost citizens of the village.
A few months ago, he celebrated the sixty-third anniversary of his wedding, having lived here with his wife all those years.
He is survived by three sons, Morgan L. BRAINARD, J. Seymour BRAINARD, and R Stanley BRAINARD, and a daughter, Mrs. Warren JOHNSTON, all of this place. The funeral will be held from the late residence Friday afternoon, at three o'clock, Rev. J. H. HERENDEEN officiating.

Death indeed struck a shining mark when Margaret BRENNAN, sister of Mary and James HANLON, earnest and true Christian women, which means much in these days of strife after place, position and wealth, was taken from our midst last evening at her brother's home on Glenwood avenue. With her own lips she called the physician to her last but fatal illness.
Seventy-two years of age, she had attained to a most honorable position in this community, devoted to the Christian body with which she was connected and it has been well and truly said of her by one, denoting the deep emotion and devotion of a brother, that she was 'a dear, sweet sister'.
Margaret BRENNAN was a graduate of the Sacred Heart Convent, of Rochester, one of the first teachers in Catholic school, and later in the public school. She was a real student and a book lover and had come to a good degree of culture by a knowledge of the world 's best books; and was able at all times to put herself in sympathy with those about her and enter into their joy and make their interests hers. She was an active worker in Medina's early Chautauqua Club which wielded a wide influence in Medina's social and religious development.
She is survived by her sister, Miss Mary HANLON, and her brother, Hon. James A. HANLON, who have the sympathy in their bereavement of a host of friends far and near. Her husband, Lawrence BRENNAN, died some years ago.
The funeral will be held from St. Mary's Church, on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. Her life was not less pure and the rememberance that she leaves behind of a beautiful Christian character, than the fragrance, purity and beauty of the clusters of flowers which thoughtful friends have borne to her late home. To many the death of Mrs. BRENNAN will come as a personal loss, while her large circle of acquaintances will long bear in pleasing remembrance the life of one whom to know even slightly was to honor and respect.

Colonel Edwin Franklin BROWN, Inspector General, National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, died in his apartments, "The Westleigh” West 123rd Street, New York City, Saturday morning, January 10th, 1903.
Colonel BROWN came of good fighting stock, the son of Jeremiah BROWN, was a captain in the war of 1812, and whose mother was the daughter of a revolutionary soldier, and his father the son of a commissioned officer in Washington's Army, and he was himself a veteran of the Civil war. Colonel Brown's father was an early pioneer in Western New York, settling near what is now the village of Medina, where Col. BROWN was born April 23d, 1823; and where he grew to manhood and resided at the beginning of the Civil war, and it has continued to be his nominal residence. He was among the first to volunteer and assist in organizing companies, and was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the 28th New York Infantry Volunteers, which was mustered into the U. S. service May 22nd, 1861. The regiment served in Patterson's Army; in Bank's Division, Army of the Potomac; William’s Division of the Fifth Corps, the First Division Department of the Shenandoah; the 1st. Division 2nd Corps, Army of Virginia; and the 1st Division, 12th Corps Army of the Potomac, he participating with it in all the battles in which the Divisions were engaged, including Chancellorsville, Va., May 3rd, 1863, after which it proceded to New York and was mustered out, on expiration of service, June 2nd, 1863. From the beginning to the close of its term the regiment won the respect and confidence of their associates and the high commendations of its commanders. In the battle of Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9th, 1862, the regiment's casualties were sixty per cent of the number taken into battle, including the mortal wounding of Colonel Donnelly, and the wounding of Lieut. Col. Brown, resulting in the amputation of his left arm. While in the field hospital he was captured and taken to Libby Prison, exchanged in October, commissioned Colonel of his regiment and commanded it until mustered out.
At the opening of the National Home for disabled Volunteer Soldiers near Dayton, Ohio, he was appointed acting Governor, October 8th, I865, and soon after Governor of the Central Branch. When the branches had increased so that inspections of their condition were required to be made and reported to the President of the Board of Managers he was appointed Inspector General September 23rd, 1880, which office he held until his death, performing its duties until last October.
The presentation(?) of the Monument to the 28th New York Infantry Volunteers August 9th, 1902, in the National Cemetery at Culpepper, Va., in the erection of which he took great interest, as well as the unvailing of the Equestrian Statue to his beloved Corps Commander, Major General Slocum, at Gettysburg last September, which he attended as a duty not to be avoided, severely taxing the physical endurance of a man nearing his eightieth birthday. Within a month its serious effects were shown in an irregular action of his heart, which compelled him to keep his room. The gradual failing of his strength, as a result of frequent attacks of heart trouble, from which there were no substantial rallies, made it apparent to himself as well as his friends that he was approaching the end; but, with no word of repining or doubt, he cheerily greeted his friends, spoke of current events with the interest he was wont to discuss them, seeking to dispell their anxiety rather than awaken it as to his condition. He moved forward to the end with all the resoluteness and composure with which he had met every responsibility in life.
His strong will had sustained him through forty years of physical suffering, at times of the most intense character; yet through all, except for very short periods, he attended to field inspections or office duties with a force and genial manners not often exhibited by men of sound physical condition in middle life. He was at all times faithful, truthful, reliable, discreet, sober-minded, just, generous, genial and gentle, with an unsurpassed courage to meet dangers and disasters, and an unequalled fortitude to sustain hardships and difficulties. He withheld no efforts to promote the welfare or happiness of his comrades and friends. He had passed through all the steps in Masonry to the highest degree, and his life was a true exemplification of its beneficent teachings. This membership, with that in the Loyal Legion, and the Grand Army of the Republic, and for thirty-eight years holding official relationship with the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers brought him into close acquaintance with a great number of persons, and to all his death will bring the sorrow which comes to us in the loss of the most esteemed and our best beloved. Colonel BROWN served most acceptably as Clerk of Orleans County, having been elected to that position before he was mustered out of the United States service. We understand he was also superintendent of this division of the Erie Canal at a subsequent time.
The surviving children are Charles L. BROWN, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Judge O. Britt BROWN, Dayton, 0.; Edwin F. BROWN, Jr., Columbus, 0. His grandchildren are the Misses Ellen M. Elizabeth BRITT and Anna Lee BROWN, Dayton, O.
The funeral party arrived in town with the body on the 9:48 train Tuesday morning, and were escorted by the Masonic fraternity to the Baptist Church, where services were held, Rev. F. T. Latham officiating. At the request of the deceased, the Masonic rites were observed, the eulogy being delivered by Hon. Irving L'Hommedieu. The interment was on the family lot at Boxwood Cemetery.
Those in attendance at the funeral from out of town were Justice H. Chapman, Governor Soldier's Home, Marion, Ind., also Mrs. Chapman; Charles L. Brown, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin F. BROWN, Columbus, O.; Judge 0. Britt BROWN and wife, and Mrs. E. L. Miller, Dayton, O.; D. R. McKi???, Jr., Miss Leona B. Mckinney, _____, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. James C. __?__, Miss Maxwell, Col. A. J. Smith, New York; Miss Charlotte Maxwell, Boston, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Peterson, J. Dudley, Lockport; J. B. Thomas, National Military Home, Dayton, 0.

Seeley, James Ford, J. W. Little, W. H. Crampton, William Winthrop, Lyman Field, John Field, John H. Stall, D. R. Whitcher and John Chambers, Lockport; John Bacon, Medina; Ziba Roberts, East Shelby.
Lieutenant Frank B. Seeley, of Lockport, custodian of the colors of the old Twenty-eighth Regiment, came to town Tuesday to carry out the expressed wish of his beloved Colonel, the late Edwin F. BROWN, that the old flag be wrapped about the casket during the last funeral rites over his body. The flag is the one carried during the engagement in which Colonel Donnelly was killed and Colonel BROWN lost an arm.

Died - In this village, on Saturday morning, Feb. 9th, of typhoid fever, Miss Rebecca Jane, daughter of William (Rebecca) BROWN, Esq., aged 24 years.
Thus the grim monster, Death; has again entered upon the sanctity of the family circle, and borne away one who was most ardently loved by all who knew her. Miss BROWN was modest and retiring in her habits, but most warmly and ardently attached to friends, and ready and willing to devote her life and being to make everyone around her happy. One remarkable trait in her character was that she abhorred the slanderer and traducer of private character, and was never known to utter a single unkind or disrespectful word of any living mortal. In times of affliction she was always a ministering angel, ever ready to lend a helping hand. For several years she was actively engaged as a Teacher in the M. E. Sabbath School of this village, and always took great interest in the work of instructing the minds of the young entrusted to her care with the great principles inculcated in the religion of Christ.
On Sunday her funeral was attended at the M. E. Church by a large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends, when the Pastor, the Rev. J. G. Miller, delivered a most impressive and touching discourse from Ecclesiastes 7:2- “It is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.” May the young who listened to the discourse lay the solemn truths uttered to their hearts, and be induced to imitate the many virtues of the deceased.

Death under any circumstances is sad, but when the angel messenger enters the household so unexpectedly and suddenly as in the case of Dr. S. C. BROWNELL, who has for many years been a prominent business man of this place, and a strong man, apparently in robust health, is stricken down, the affliction seems doubly hard for the bereaved friends to bear. Dr. BROWNELL was prostrated with apoplexy while attending to his office duties on Thursday morning last, from which he never rallied, being almost speechless from the first and entirely unconscious after a few hours. Medical skill proved unavailing in affording relief, and death resulted early Saturday morning. Samuel C. BROWNELL was born at Madison, Madison Co., N, Y., April 2d, 1834 (1 ?), and was therefore in the fifty-seventh year of his age. Removing to the west, he served in an Iowa cavalry regiment during the early part of the war, attaining to the rank of captain and afterward was appointed Provost Marshall of the fifth district of Iowa. In the year 1869 he settled with his family in Medina, where he has since resided, practicing his profession, that of dentistry. The deceased has occupied various positions of responsibility and trust in our village, having been a trustee, member of the Board of Education and for many years Warden and also vestryman of St. John's Church. He was also a prominent Mason, serving in various official capacities, including that of Worshipful Master.
Dr. BROWNELL was a good and estimable citizen, a faithful friend, a kind and indulgent husband and parent, who will be greatly missed by our community and his departure mourned by his immediate friends and family, who have the sympathy of all in the hour of their sad affliction. In early life, Dr. Brownell was married to Catharine FOX, who preceded him to the better land about six years since. In the year 1887 he was married to Miss Abbie MAUS, who survives him, as also does one daughter - Mrs. C. F. HURD - and one son - George F. BROWNELL, of Buffalo. Funeral services were held at his late residence on Shelby street, and at St. John's Church Monday afternoon, Rev. G. W. West officiating. The burial took place at Boxwood Cemetery.

J. Reeder BRUNDAGE, active in Medina's business and civic life for over a quarter of a century, died at about 1 a.m. this morning in Medina Memorial Hospital, the local institution which had received a large part of his time and interest over the past few years during the planning period for expansion. Mr. BRUNDAGE, 64, had been ill for about two months.
Born in Penn Yan, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Orson BRUNDAGE, the deceased had moved at an early age to Hammondsport, where he grew up and attended school. As a youth, he received his early training in the hardware business by working with his father in that village. For about four years, prior to his coming to Medina in 1930, Mr. Brundage lived in Florida, engaged in the lumber business with a brother, Ira. He bought out the Chase & Breed Hardware Co. in Medina upon coming here and established Brundage Hardware which he still currently operated in partnership with his son, Joe R. BRUNDAGE.
During his nearly 30 years as a Medinan, he was active in the old Advertising Club and its successor the Chamber of Commerce, serving on the board of directors. He was on the board of directors of the Medina Trust Co. and continued at the present time on the advisory board of the Medina office of the Marine Trust Co. of W .N. Y. In late years, as a member of the board of directors of Medina Memorial Hospital, his interests had been turned toward the hospital expansion program. During last winter, he was acting chairman of the hospital building committee, when final plans and fund raising were done for the half million dollar addition and modernization. Construction is in progress at present.
The local merchant was a member of the Elks Lodge, Moose Lodge and was a 32nd degree Mason. He was a member of the Conservation Club. His interest in community affairs often led him to take part in planning and fund raising, and in the projects of the retail merchants committee.
Survivors include his wife, Rae; two children, Joe R. BRUNDAGE of Medina and Mrs. Edward RAMSEY of Geneva; five grandchildren, Barbara Jo, Scott and J. R. BRUNDAGE of Medina and Allyn and Linda RAMSEY of Geneva; also two brothers, Ira of Hialeah, Fla., and Owen in the State of Washington.
