a lifeloug resident of this village,
died suddenly at about 9 on Thuraday
evening. He had attended the men's
banquet at the Methodist Episoopal
church, and so far as any one knew was
in his usual health.
After the meal was finished and be-
fore the program which followed was
begun, he went to the auditorium of
the building where hats and coat had
been left. Rev. Mr. Cheeseman assist
ed him on with his overcoat, and they
discussed various matters for perhaps
live minutes. No mention was made
by him of any physical ailment. He
left the church and started alone for
bis place of business in Water street,
A very few minutes later he was found
near the McKiuley corner. Dr. Gray
was among the first to reach him, and
pionounced him dead, assigning tbe
cause to heart failure and diabetes.
Joseph H. Brabant was born in Clay
ton, the eon of Mr. and Mrs. Leander
Brabant, Jan. 27, 1866. Thirty-five
years ago he was united in marriage :
with Miss Josephine Sharrow. Surviving
him, besides his widow, are three
sons, Amos Brabaut and John Brabant
of Clayton, and George Brabant, now
attending collage in Montreal; four
daughters, Mrs. Joseph Baxinet, Mrs.
Paul Tbibault, Miss Gertrude Brabant
and Miss Florence Brabant,of Clayton;
two brothers, Augustus F. Brabant of
Clayton, and Peter F. Brabant of Chicago;

Mrs. Lucy Loveland, Mrs. G. A. Thibault,
and a step-sister, Mrs. Stephen

Eighteen years ago he purchased the
drug and grocery business of F. L.
Hill, which he conducted successfully
alone until about three years ago, when
A. J. LeFaivre entered tbe business
as a partner.
"Joe"Brabant was one of tbe town's
best known snd most respected citi-
tens, and it is doubtful if the death of
another citizen would cause more universa
I and genuine regre*. He was a
friend to everybody, and everybody
was bis friend. He was generous to a
fault Tbe needy had only to make
their wants known to "Joe" Brabant
He had tbe faculty of overlooking the
shortcomings of his neighbors and
townspeople and his money and his
goods were as freely given as his sympathy.
If there was ever a case of
actual want in tbe town it was because
"Joe" Brabant did not know of it
Politically be was always a consistent
Democrat; religiously he was a devout
Catholic. While he had pronounced,
opinions regarding his religion and his
politics, be was conservative to tbe. ex-
tent that his views were expressed with
out offense to any one". He was tbe :
soul of honor; his word was as good as
his hood. "Joe"Brabant will be greatly
missed in the community where he had
spent his life and is best known.
The funeral, which will be held from
St Mary's church on Monday morning
at 9.80,will be in charge of the Knights
of Col ambus.- The schools wirt be
closed as will also all business places
