Mr. Thomas was a classmate of President Wilson in Prince- ton University, and was born in New York City on September 28, 1858. He was a descendant on the maternal and paternal sides from old New Jersey families who had participated in all the wars since Colonial days.
On his paternal side, he was a grandson of Colonel Thomas, U. S. A., and he was also a great-grandson of Colonel Edward Thomas of Revolutionary fame, whose residence is now Carteret Arms.
He was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church, of Elizabeth, and for many years was a Warden of the Church. He was interested in the various activities of the Church and was one of the earnest workers when its welfare was concerned.
He was a member of the New Jersey Historical Society, The Suburban Club, The Elizabeth Town and Country Club, and other societies. Mr. Thomas was a member of the Council of our Society from 1896 to 1909. He was Deputy Governor from 1909 to 19II, and was Chancellor from 1896 to 1909. He aided very much in draughting our Constitution, which is acknowledged as one most complete and in many respects a model.

WILLIAM PIERSON FIELD.
William Pierson Field, of Newark, N. J., was received into the membership of our Society last June, and died on the Ist day of August of this year (1920). He was born in 1862, son of the late Moses and Anna J. (Pierson) Field. He came of a long line of distinguished ancestors, who were among the earliest settlers of Newark, being a direct descendant of the Rev. Abraham Pierson, the first Minister of the old First Church, and of his son, Abraham Pierson, the first President of Yale College. On his Father's side, he was a descendant from the original John Field, the Astronomer, who came to this country in 16-, the exact date being unknown. He was therefore related to the distinguished family of Cyrus Field and Dudley Field.
After receiving his preparatory education, Mr. Field entered Princeton University, from which he was graduated in the class of 1883 with the degree of C.E. He was a member of the Ivy Club.
Immediately after his graduation he entered the Engineering Corps of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and remained with them until 1890, during which time he did much technical and con- structive work. On July 1, 1888, he was granted a leave of absence by the Railroad Company, in order to take a course of Engineering at the Royal Polytechnic School of Würtemberg, at Stuttgart, Germany.
On July 1, 1890, Mr. Field opened an office in Newark for the private practice of his profession, and in the course of his practice he supervised the construction of many and extensive works which involved difficult problems in various lines of engineering. It is said of him that he was among the first to recognize the value of and to use reinforced concrete for building construction. Many of the buildings and industrial plants in and around Newark were designed and constructed by him. Among his later works were the design and construc- tion of groups of buildings for Colgate and Company, the Essex Park County Commission, and the Crocker-Wheeler
174
Company. He also acted as Consulting Engineer for several of the Water Companies in New Jersey.
Mr. Field's record in his profession is that of a man of the most scrupulous integrity, a careful and painstaking engineer, and an inspiring personality. There are many evidences of Mr. Field's conscientious devotion to his profession, and he enjoyed the confidence of all with whom he came into contact.
He was for many years a devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark, and served on its Board of Trustees for twenty-one years, for seven years as President of the Board, until forced by ill-health to resign. He always maintained his interest in the affairs of Princeton Uni- versity, and was the first President of the Princeton Engineer- ing Association. As a member of the Board chosen to direct the policy of its Engineering Course, he was frequently called on to address the students along technical lines.
He was a member of the University Club, the Essex County Club, the Baltusrol Golf Club, and was elected a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers in March, 1901. In 1887 he married Miss Josephine D. Smith, a descendant of the Thayers of Newark, whose ancestry is traced back to William the Conqueror. Mr. Field leaves one son, William Thayer Field, who married the daughter of our own Colonel William Libbey.
REV. EDGAR E. BROOKS.
Rev. Edgar E. Brooks, General Society Number 6024, State Number 212, was elected to our Society on January 17, 1920. He was an Episcopal Clergyman, educated in the Wyoming Seminary, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., and the General Theological Seminary. He was at one time Rector of the Episcopal Church at Bernardsville, N. J., and later was an Assistant Minister in St. John's Church at Dover, in the Newark Diocese.
After ending his rectorship at Dover, he went into Social Service Work, serving in New York, Illinois, the Sandwich Islands, and in Massachusetts.
175
During the war he served as a member of the Fosdick Com- mission at Long Branch, N. J.
He was a member of our Society by virtue of descent from John Brooks of Woburn, Mass., who served in the Expedition against Quebec in 1690. His death occurred in Springfield, Mass., on February 18, 1921.
BRADFORD DARRACH, SR.
Bradford Darrach, Sr. General Society Number 852, State Number 14, a member of our Council, died suddenly at his home in Elizabeth, N. J., April 16, 1921.
Mr. Darrach served as an Assistant to the President of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company of New York up to a few months before his death, having been in the service of that Company for fifty-four years, rising step by step from the position of a humble clerk to the post he had filled so well and so long.
Mr. Darrach served in many positions of trust and responsi- bility ; he was a member of the Elizabeth Town and Country Club, of the Baltusrol Golf Club, and of the Suburban Club of Elizabeth. He was elected to membership in our Society on July 26, 1894. He was said to be an enthusiastic golfer and indulged in this game up to the time of his death. In his younger days Mr. Darrach is said to have been a strong oarsman and was a member of the Viking Rowing Club of Bayonne. He was a member of the Trinity Episcopal Church of Elizabeth and was at one time Vestryman of that Church.
HARRY PEAKE MACDONALD.
Harry Peake MacDonald, State Number 156, General Society 5102, was admitted to membership in our Society May 8, 1914. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, May 19, 1880, and died August 7, 1921.
His earliest American ancestor was Angus MacDonald of Glasgow, Scotland, who landed in Falmouth, Virginia, in 1746. He was graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of
176
Technology in 1901 with a degree of B.S. in Civil Engineering. He entered business with Snead & Company, Iron Works, in Jersey City, in July, 1901, and he rapidly rose to positions of trust and responsibility, being made Superintendent of their plant and Vice-President in 1915.
He was the inventor of the MacDonald Rolling, Ramming, and Molding Machine for Foundries, Electrical Heat Treating Machinery, and automobile patents. During the war, besides his most active duties at his own plant, which was making a variety of munitions, he served on the staff of the Montclair Battalion as Ordnance Officer, and with the Lewis Machine Gun Company of Montclair as Chief Mechanician.
He was a member of the Jersey City Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of the Safety and Sanitation Committee of the National Founders Associations, Secretary and Treasurer of the Forbes Leigneurie Hunting Club, a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, a member of the Committee on In- dustrial Training for War Engineering of the Council of National Defense. He was also Advisor to the Metal Trades Board on War Labor Policies in 1918.
As will be noticed from reading the above account of Mr. MacDonald's active life, he did not depend on the accident of descent from a Colonial ancestor, but in a busy and useful life cut short in its prime, he did what he could and all that he could, socially, scientifically, and patriotically for perpetuating those things for which his ancestors stood.
HOWARD COGHILL.
Howard Coghill, son of James H. and Mary Mulford Coghill, was born at New Rochelle, N. Y., August 27, 1858 He was educated at private schools and at Columbia University, where he graduated, with honors, in 1880. After a year spent in foreign travel he entered the Columbia Law School, gradu- ating in 1883. He practised law in New York City from 1883 to 1898, and then retired from active business life. In 1888
177
he married Edith Dunbar, who survives him, together with one son, James Henry Coghill.
Mr. Coghill inherited a fine library from his father, and added largely to it, specializing in French history and fiction. He took a keen interest in political and social issues, and was a frequent contributor to the columns of the N. Y. Evening Post. He was a charter member of the Society of Colonial Wars, and at one time served as its Historian.
As a man, Mr. Coghill was distinguished for his fine sense of honor in both public and private life. He was much inter- ested in music, and was a member for many years of a semi- professional flute quartet; he also helped to organize the Morristown (N. J.) Amateur Orchestra, and took an active part in its work. He died at Roosevelt Hospital, New York, on January 30, 1922, following an apparently successful operation.
A good citizen, a scholar of cosmopolitan culture, and a loyal friend, his early death is sincerely and widely mourned.
ISAAC M. LOUGHEED.
Isaac M. Lougheed, General Number 5990, State Number 2II, was admitted to membership in our Society October 30, 1919. He had not been very active in his membership, but he attended the last General Assembly of the Society as a delegate, and it was my good fortune to see him intimately on that occasion. He was engaged in the business of Stationer and Engraver in Philadelphia, but resided in New Jersey.
Mr. Lougheed met with a sudden death on February 17, 1922. While hurrying to catch a train at his residence in Atlantic City, he was stricken with heart trouble and died almost immediately.
He was a direct descendant of one of the old Colonial families of Philadelphia, a member of the Union League, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Sons of the Revolution, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and our own Society of Colonial Wars. He was also a Vestryman of All Saints Episcopal Church in Atlantic City.
178
REV. CORNELIUS BRETT, D.D.
Rev. Cornelius Brett, D.D., General Number 3567, State Number 87, was admitted to membership in our Society January 23, 1904, and served us as Chaplain from 1910 to 1919.
Dr. Brett was a most lovable character, and his association with us in the Society and as a member of the Council was greatly enjoyed. He was a man of many talents and used all of them to the best advantage. He was a well educated man, a devoted Minister of the Gospel, and a broad-minded, useful citizen. He was Pastor of the Bergen Reformed Church for forty-two years and his funeral services were most impressive, a very large crowd testifying their devotion to his memory by their attendance. Included in those present were some thirty- six clergymen of various denominations, either participating in the funeral services, or by their presence testifying to the esteem in which their fellow Pastor was held. He died Feb- ruary 24, 1922.
Dr. Brett was President of the Phi Beta Kappa Society in New York, and for eight years was Chaplain of the old Fourth Regiment, National Guard, New Jersey.
In the latter part of his life he was afflicted with blindness, but even this terrible calamity did not prevent his activities in either his religious or civic life. He lived to the ripe age of eighty years, a life of usefulness and honor, and his going out was like the setting of the evening sun after the close of a perfect day.
JOHN BREWER WIGHT.
John Brewer Wight was born in Washington, D. C., March 2, 1853. His father was Otis Caleb Wight, and his great- grandfather was Nahum Wight, who was an officer in Col. Brewer's regiment in the Continental Army; he was also a direct descendant of Thomas Wight, who settled in Dedham, Mass., in 1635.
179
Mr. Wight was educated in Rittenhouse Academy, in Wash- ington, which was owned by his father.
In 1877 he became Secretary and Business Manager of Gallaudet College, Washington. In 1890 he entered the real estate business in Washington. In 1897 he was appointed Commissioner of the District of Columbia, by President McKinley, in which office he served until 1901.
In 1903 he moved to New York, to assume control of the New York office of the Alpha Portland Cement Co., with which Company he remained until his retirement in 1921. His home was in Montclair, N. J.
Mr. Wight married October 10, 1883, Miss Anna Kumler, and is survived by his wife and his son, Goulding Kumler Wight, of Montclair, N. J. He passed away at his home in Montclair, March 31, 1923.
For many years, Mr. Wight was keenly interested in patriotic work and was a member of various such societies. He became a member of the S. A. R. in 1890, and was one of the founders of the Montclair Chapter of the New Jersey Society, when it was organized in 1911. He was also President of this Chapter.
In 1912 he became a member of the New Jersey Society of the Colonial Wars, and at the time of his death, was Historian of the N. J. Society, and Treasurer General of the General Society.
He was also a member of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America.
Mr. Wight's remains are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington, D. C.
A MINUTE ADOPTED BY THE SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey in Annual Court assembled, having heard with profound grief of the death of John Brewer Wight, Esq., desiring to record
180
their sense of loss and their appreciation of his noble qualities of intellect and heart and their appreciation of his distinguished services to this Society and to the General Society, adopting this minute, order it spread on their record and a copy sent to the family of Mr. Wight.
Of a distinguished American family, Mr. Wight embodied the best traditions of our past. He was a gentleman and possessed in high degree those good qualities of unselfishness, consideration for others, and of service that characterize "a gentleman of the old school."
For many years he was a member of the Council and Historian of the Society. He discharged his duties with con- scientious fidelity, and brought to his task a genuine personal interest and a mastery of polished and stately English. At the General Assembly of 1921, Mr. Wight was chosen Treasurer-General and at once endeared himself to his asso- ciates of the General Council. His painstaking discharge of his duties deserves highest commendation.
In the death of John Brewer Wight, the State has lost a citizen of the purest patriotism, the Society a loyal member, the Council a wise advisor, and each of us a friend.
