Clayton,, Jan 26 - Joseph H. Brabant,
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;
three sisters, Mrs. Louis Amio,
Mrs. Lucy Loveland, Mrs. G. A. Thibault,
and a step-sister, Mrs. Stephen
Pelow, all of Clayton.
Mr. Brabant waa a charter member of
Thousand Island Council, No. 350

her of tbe village board of education;

Clayton for over 25 years.
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

York at 9:30 Sunday night, following
a week's Illness of indigestion ana
ptomaine poisoning. Mr. Lewis returned

small settlement here, but the
water power on the Weaver river afford
ed a good site for a mill. In time Mr.
Lewis acquired the sole ownership of.
this mill and continued to own it until
the time of his death.
In later years Mr. Lewis became instrumental in organizing other paper
mills, the Lewis, Slocum and LeFevre
pulp mill and the J. P. Lewis Pulp &
Paper Co.,in both of which Mr. Lewis
was a heavy stockholder. It was
through the agency ot these mills that
the village of Beaver Falls grew to a
population of about 500, the mills being
tbe only industry in town, and in
them the greater part of the male population of the town was employed.
Mr. Lewis was also president of the
Thousand Island Park Association.
Mr. Lewis was married to Miss Julia
E. Slocum several years ago and she
died a year ago last October, He is
survived by one son, Harry F. Lewis,
of this village, who is connected with
the paper industry here;one daughter,
Mrs. Grace L. Cornwall, of Detroit,
wbo was married last November; and
three sisters, Mrs. A. N. Van Armam,
Mrs. Emeline LeFevre and Miss Ella
Lewis, all of Beaver Falls.

Falls.
- Last January Mr. Lewis went to

Natural Bridge, May 27.-Just
how Melvin Bray, ??-year-old oiler
came to be caught between the
pinion and the 50-toot gear under-
neath the rotary kiln and cooler at
the plant of the Basic Refractories
corporation, which resulted in his
death here yesterday morning, will
never be known.
This was revealed at an inquest
held at the company's office by Dis-
trict Attorney E.. R.. Wilcox late
yesterday afternoon. There was
no eye witnesses to the fatal acci-
dent. Six employes of the company
testified at the inquest and each
said that he did not see his fellow
workman become entangled in the
year and meet death.
The inquest showed that Bray
was not oiling the machinery at the
time. His oil can was about three
feet from the pinion and gear. The
pinion and gear work upwards, an
investigattion showed, and the bot-
tom of the pinion ger which con-
nects with the big 50-tooth year is
only eleven inches from the ground.
It was in this small space that
Bray's right arm was caught.
His arm was worn from its socket,
his head was dragged between the
teeth of the pinion and the big
gear and mangled badly. The acci-
dent resulted in the power being
shut out instantly. Basti Cooper,,
brother-in-law of Bray, was the first
attracted to the scene. He was his
relative lying on the ground under-
neath the pinion and then spread
the alarm to other workmen in the
place, saying "Mel is caught in the
machinery and is dying." When
the workmen arrived Bray was
dead. It is believed that he was
killed almost instantly.
Eward Van Tassel, foreman; Ar-
thur J.. Sechrist,, superintentent;
Ora Pack,, burner; Glen Williams,
machinist, and Paul andrus and
Everett Peck, laborers, were worn
at the hearing. All testified that
Bray wa a temperate man and of a
pleasant disposition.
District Attorney Wilcox is of the
brlief that Bray slipped as he was
walking by the pinion and gear and
fell underneath. The district at-
torney declared that it was not a
suicide. The wife of the ded man
said that he left the house at 7 yes-
terday morning in the best of spirits
and that they never had any
serious quarrels.
The deceaed was the main sup-
port of a family of 13 children. Six
were his children by his first wife
while his second wife had five chil-
dren when he married her. It also
was her second marriage. Two
children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Bray since their marriage five
years ago. Bray earned $21 a week
at the plant where he had been em-
ployed for four years.
