At the time of his death Mr. Brewster was a trustee of the Norwich Savings Society, and a di- rector in the Merchants' National Bank of Norwich, whose recorded resolutions recite that his "manly character, his fidelity in attending to his official du- ties, his good judgment and conservative ways, his independence in presenting his views upon business matters, his inclinations to be considerate and help- ful, combined to exemplify in him a true and able director. In the death of our associate we are made sensible of a severe loss. To each one of us comes with unmistakable force the feeling that a safe and reliant counselor and honored and honorable friend has been taken from our board. We shall miss the support and encouragement of his valued and con- spicuous services. In thus bearing testimony to the merits of his official life, we do not forget to record our appreciation of the fact that he stood high in the community, and that as a citizen his name was en- rolled among the worthiest and best."

At the time of his death Mr. Brewster was also treasurer of the New London Agricultural Society, which also placed in its records its "high apprecia- tion of the valued services he had rendered the so- ciety as the custodian and manager of its finances," and bearing testimony of him as one "whose pure life and Christian character as a citizen has always been marked by unsullied integrity and a high sense of honor in the discharge of his duties in public and private life." He died suddenly April 30, 1894.

Enoch F. Chapman, when a small boy, was brought by his parents to Norwich, where he was reared, schooled and ever afterward resided. He was for a time a clerk in a store, and during his father's term of service as postmaster assisted in the duties of that office. In 1848 he became an assistant in the office of the late Edward Chappell, a lumber and coal merchant of Central Wharf. In 1863 Mr. Chapman became associated with his em- ployer in a partnership, and the business was there- after conducted under the firm name of E. Chappell & Co. Later on these gentlemen took into partner- ship Arthur H. Brewer. Mr. Chappell died in 1891, and the business until the death of Mr. Chapman, in 1898, was continued by Messrs. Chapman & Brewer. These men all-Chappell, Chapman and Brewer- were successful in business, among the substantial and leading business men of Norwich, and Mr. Chap- man had a good reputation for shrewdness in busi- ness affairs.

Mr. Chapman was a plain man, unostentatious, and rather quiet, utterly devoid of show. He gave generously to the poor and to charitable and worthy causes in state and church. The success with which he managed his own business affairs, with his fidel- ity and integrity, made him an available man for pub- lic trusts, but he had no taste for such, and declined overtures in that direction. He took a great inter- est in public affairs, believed in the future of Nor- wich, and was enterprising and public-spirited. He was a member of the court of common council for a number of years. He was a member of the board of managers of the Central Baptist Church, of which he was an attendant and a generous supporter.

M., at Norwich, in which he held membership for upward of forty years, and was a Knight Templar, belonging to Columbian Commandery, No. 4; he was a member of Uncas Lodge, No. 11, I. O. O. F. ; and was a charter mem- ber of Wauregan Lodge, No. 6, K. of P. He pos-

sessed a kindly disposition, and was a great home 1man.

HERRICK. The Herricks in England are an ancient family, to whom were granted a coat of arms. Here in New England the history of the family be- gins with the early Colonial period, and from early in the Eighteenth century a branch of the family has lived in the old town of Canterbury, and later in Norwich, Conn., where died on June 9, 1901, the late Alonzo Herrick, father of the present Norwich druggist, Burrill A.
