An Old and Respected Resident of Verona Passes Away
VERONA, Aug 29, Amos F. Brewster, an old and respected resident of this town died at 2 a.m. today.
Mr. Brewster was born in Verona over 75 years ago and up to within about two years has been a man of rugged health and strong constitution, Since that period his health has steadily declined and a few weeks ago he suffered from a shock of a paralytic nature, which affected his mind and left his in a semi-critical condition, in which state he continued, gradually growing weaker, until his death came.
Amos F. Brewster was a son of Justus and Polly Brewster and the early years of his life were spent in and around Blackman's Corners, where his father, in company with another brother, Justin, were engaged in the trade of wagon making and blacksmithing work. One of the brothers looked after the wood branch of the business and the other gave his attention to the iron work. Among the older of our residents they were always spoken of as Wooden and Iron Brewster. After attaining his majority Amos married Miss Lydia Lewis, a sister of the late Andrew Lewis and Benjamin G. Lewis. With the exception of a brief interval of residence in the west they have always made their home in this vicinity, where he has always enjoyed the well deserved confidence and esteem of all citizens for his sterling integrity and true moral worth. As a member of the M. E. Church here her has long been deeply interested in it prosperity and ever ready to put it into practice. His death is a severe loss to that society, which has of late been called upon to lose several very valuable members. Besides the bereaved widow, Mr. Brewster is survived by four children, Mrs. Lester Betson, Rome; Mrs. Merrit Knight, Lee Center; Mrs. D. J. Brounghton, Little Falls, and A. Foster Brewster of Hecla, and one sister, Mrs. Polly Williams of Verona.
