Obituary:
The death was announced yesterday of Alden Wattles, for many years well known among merchants in New York, and in church and social circles in Brooklyn. Mr. Wattles was born in Lebanon, Conn., in 1819 and coming early to New York was first associated in business with Mr. Tefft of Tefft, Weller & Co. He afterward became a member of Philip Dater & Co. at that time leading wholesale grocers. When the firm dissolved in 1861, Mr. Wattles began business as the pioneer merchandise broker of New York at 91 Wall Street and continued it successfully with his son, Merritt Wattles, at 112 Wall Street. He leaves a widow, his son who succeeds to his business, an unmarried daughter, and an older daughter, the wife of Dr. O.E. Houghton, recently the alderman for the Twentieth Ward. Mr. Wattles was a prominent member of Dr. Talmage's Tabernacle, of which he was for years a Trustee. The funeral is fixed for Saturday at 2 P.M. at his residence, 126 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn; internment at Greenwood. His illness was Bright's disease, long standing.
