COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

vives him and resides at their old homestead. They had no children, but brought up from in- fancy Julia Clarke, the daughter of Robert Adams and Emeline Blackman Clarke (Mrs. Sherman's youngest sister), who married Chester Howard Brush, of Danbury, and Washington, D. C.

Mr. Sherman devoted the later years of his life to improving his property. He became quite deaf, and was subject at intervals to illness caus- ing the most acute suffering, but never a murmur passed his lips in sickness or health. Whether the skies were dark or bright, he ever looked on the bright side and made happy those about him. Fond of music, a great reader, and having a fine sense of the humorous, he was companionable for young and old alike, with ever an anecdote or witty retort ready. A consistent Churchman, a man of firmness and excellent judgment, his counsel and help were sought by many and never in vain.

Mr. Sherman was a life long communicant of St. James Episcopal Church, to which his widow also belongs. Mr. Sherman entered into rest July 13, 1890, and was buried from the home which he built and in which he had passed forty- six years of his life, the family plot being in the Hawleyville cemetery. He died as he lived- without an enemy, none could recall ought of unkindness or injustice-having nobly done his duty toward God and man. His was the stead- fast light of a noble life, far-reaching and elevat- ing, encircling a vast number who loved him and reverence his memory.

C HESTER HOWARD BRUSH was born in .Danbury, February 20, 1859, educated in the public schools of his native town, and subse- quently graduated from the National University Law School, Washington, D. C. While attend- ing school he was connected for two or three years with the office of the Danbury News, with the intention of following the profession of jour- nalism. In April, 1876, Mr. Brush was appointed a clerk in the Danbury Post Office, where he re- mained until appointed mail route agent for the Danbury and Norwalk and Connecticut Western railroads. Various changes and promotions fol- lowed until June, 1890, when he received the ap- pointment of Post Office Inspector. In this branch of the service he was located for a time in Missouri, Kansas and Indian Territory, but

was subsequently transferred to New England, where he continued until a change of administra- tion. In April, 1894, he acquired a half-interest in the long-established wholesale and retail tobacco business of Bernd Bros., and the business was continued under the firm name of Bernd & Brush. In March, 1897, Mr. Brush was appointed, by President Mckinley, recorder of the General Land Office at Washington, D. C., to succeed L. Q. C. Lamar, which position he is filling most ably at the present time.

Mr. Brush is what his record shows him to be-an able man, brilliant, sound of intellect, and worthy of the trust to which he has been appointed. He is an Episcopalian, being a mem- ber of St. James Episcopal Church, Danbury, a Knight Templar, in politics an earnest Repub- lican, and a thorough American.

On June 1, 1881, Mr. Brush married Miss Julia E. Clarke, daughter of Robert Adams and Emeline (Blackman) Clarke, of Newtown. Dur- ing the protracted illness of Mrs. Clarke, this daughter, when an infant, came to live with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Sher- man, of Danbury, at whose home she was mar- ried. Educated by her uncle and aunt, she was known to many as Julia Sherman during the four years spent at Mrs. Burke's School for Young Ladies, in Danbury, and while at the Pough- keepsie Female Academy, from which she gradu- ated in 1879. A student of history, Mrs. Brush became one of the early members of Mary Woos- ter Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, which she has since served as secretary and historian, and from her ready pen some excellent sketches have been published. She is also one of the board of directors of the Danbury Hos- pital. Mr. and Mrs. Brush are well-known soci- ally in Washington, and in their native State. They have one child, Elise Sherman Brush, born at their Danbury home, January 2, 1887.

Carlos Sherman Warner was reared on a farm in Newtown, but in early manhood turned his attention in the line indicated above, since which time his name has been coupled with internal improvements of considerable magnitude and im- portance. His first connection with the con- struction of public works was in a civil engineer corps on the Boston, Hartford & Erie railway. Next he was occupied as paymaster, bookkeeper and superintendent of construction for Smith & Ripley, while building the Connecticut Western railway. Following this he served in the same capacity for the same firm while building the Holyoke branch of the New Haven and North- ampton railway. He was next paymaster for Sidney Dillon on the tunnel under West Point, during the early part of its construction. The next important work with which his name is con- nected was the 4th avenue improvement in New York City, from 47th street to Harlem river, in which he served as paymaster and purchasing agent for Dillon, Clyde & Co., a work costing several millions of dollars, and covering a period of two years. After the completion of that work he was with Smith & Ripley, as superintendent of construction, for the extension of the railroad from Northampton, Mass., to Turner's Falls, another extension from South Deerfield, Mass., to Bardwell's Ferry, and the building of the Delaware & Lackawanna railroad from Wayland. N. Y., to Buffalo (being one hundred miles of new double track railroad, costing several mill- ions of dollars). Since then (about 1878) Mr. Warner, as a member of the firm of Warner & Madigan, has been closely connected as con- tractor with the building of the Northern Adiron- dack, for John Hurd, of Bridgeport; the extension of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, in Ohio; with ex- tensive grading and masonry at the Vanderbilt mausoleum grounds, on Staten Island; the Akron branch of the Baltimore & Ohio, in Ohio; the Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie & Boston, from Slatington, Penn., to Middletown, N. Y .; two railroads near Scranton, Penn .; the Rumford Falls & Rangeley Lakes railway in Maine; and several small railroads in northern New Hamp- shire and Maine. His latest contracts have been in connection with water works, electric railroad construction, and heavy dams and mill construc- tion on the Androscoggin and Hudson rivers.
