Death of Daniel E Breneman, Esq.

Daniel E. Breneman, Esq., a member of the Jefferson county bar, was buried here in Brookville on Wednesday afternoon of this week.

He was born in Clarion county, Sept. 15, 1839, and resided there until he was past 25 years of age. In his early life he worked at farming, rafted some, and finally graduated as a teacher in the public schools. How many years he taught we know not. He was principal of the public schools of Clarion at one time, and along about 1870 and 1871 was principal of the public schools in Brookville.

Somewhere in his sixties, along about. the close of the civil war he came to Brookville, and this place has been his home most of the time since that. During the first oil developments he went back to Clarion county, remaining there several years. Then he went to Parker's Landing, Armstrong county, spending a few years there.

He read law in the office of Jenks & Clark, in Brookville, and was admitted to the Jefferson county bar September 15, 1876.

June 25th, 1869, he was married to Miss Matilda Showalter, of Brookville, who died August 1st, 1892. To them were born four children. One of these died in infancy. The others survive, and are Mrs. William Kaufman of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Albert H. Blose of East Salamanca, New York, and Mamie, unmarried, residing in New York City. In October 1896, he was married a second time to Miss Amanda Thomas, of Beaver township, Jefferson county. She now survives him.

Mr. Breneman was ill about a year previous to his death, with catarrh and stomach and liver troubles. A few days before his decease he went to visit an old friend, Barney Stroup, at Scotch Hill, Clarion county, and there he died. The immediate cause of his death was congestion of the lungs. Saturday, July 4th, was a damp day where he was, and he sat out of doors most of the day. This caused him to take a heavy cold, his lungs filled up quickly, and he died that night, between twelve and one o'clock. The body was brought to his home here on Monday.

Funeral services were held at the home, on Mill street, at 2 p.m. Wednesday, conducted by Re. J.A. McCamey, pastor of the Brookville M.E. church, of which Mrs. Breneman is a member. Mr. Breneman was not a member of any church. The only organizations he was a member of, so far as we know, were the Jefferson county bar, and the Masonic lodge at Parker. Interment was made Wednesday afternoon in the Brookville cemetery. His daughters were all present at the funeral, as were also his brothers and other near relatives.

A meeting of the bar association was held on Monday when a committee was named to prepare suitable resolutions concerning his death. These resolutions will be acted on at a court to be held on July 20th, after which we will publish them.
