One" of Norwalk’g, :‘Dst Honored

Gently Pass 9. Away.
With the sudden shoék’ of a thunder.—
boltgfrom a clearsk eslfivering a forest
oak, came Wedne ay 'eve. , the death
summons to our esteemed fellow towns.
man MR. WILLIAM GREGORY THOMAS.
He had walked down to and about the
village after his noon meal,‘ and as was
frequently his wont, stopped on his way
home to play a game of checkers with
his friend Deacon J as. E. Wixon in the
rear room of his market on the Bridge.
He had beenjgthus engaged for a half
hour or moreppleasantly chatting the
while, when-the Deacon observed him
the wall, as if in a faint. Wixon at
once rushed to his assistance and saw
that he was seriously ill, and remem-
beringa previous attack he had had
some_months before at the same table,
and similarly enjoying his favorite pas-
time, Mr. Wixon hurried his clerk,
James A. Foster, to find a physician.
Young Foster hustled throughout the
precincts of the Bridge and finding
no one, returned; Dea. Wixon mean-
time holding Mr. Thomas head in his
arms. The burden was tenderly trans-
ferred to Foster, when Wixon himself
hurried out in search of a physician
and fortunately met Dr. Huntington,
and later Dr. Burke came in. But
whenhe returned,although Mr.Thomas
seemed to have had a momentary re-
turn to partial consciousness, apoplexy
had done its fatal work, for at about
five thirty, “God’s finger touched him
and he slept.” Dr. Burke, as coroner,
witnessing the facts for himself, ordered
upon Undertaker Raymond came and
took charge of them.
Mr. Thomas, if we correctly remem-
ber, was born at his father’s residence
in what is now known as the Haddan
building on the east corner, opposite
the Norwalk Hotel, on the 27th of
March, in the year 1819. As a lad he
was especially active and bright ,in
mind and body, at school and among
his ping: fellows. He is remembered
by the x» riter, as the owner of the first
pair of skates possessed by any boy in
Norwalk and of his being able to cut
the outlines of an eagle’s wing and the
initials of his own name in large script
capitals on the ice of the mill-pond and
upon the spot where now stands the
substantial GAZETTE Building edifice.
After leaving school he went to work
as clerk in his father’s lumber yard in
Water street. From here he went as
teller to the service of the Fairfield
County Bank, while the late Henry
Morgan was cashier, Henry Belden
president, and E. C. Bissell a fellow
clerk. Aftera few years he left the
Bank and went to Albany as book-
keeper and general manager, later as
partner and finally as sole owner of a
large lumber yard and business estab-
lished there by the late Ebenezer Hill.
In this lumber business he made his
reputation as a careful, methodical and
strictly honest man and as a natural re-
sult, amassed in it a comfortable for-
tune.
While at Albany he was married to
his present widow, then a Miss Susan
Wilson of Glens Falls, and by whom
he has two sons and one daughter sur-
viving. He leaves three brothers,
Henry, James and George. His chil-
dren are Charles H., married and re-
beck, whose husband is a Major and
Judge Advocate on Gen. Miles’ stafi‘ at
Chicago, Wm. G. J r., who is single and
residing at home with his mother. He _
was the eldest son of Charles Thomas,
one of Norwalk’s former old residents.
A few years since, feeling the weight
from active business pursuits, he re-
turned to Norwalk, rebuilt and en-
larged his father’s later residence, on
East avenue and here in one of the
most delightful homes on that beauti-
ful thoroughfare, he essayed to spend
in a restful quiet, as he did, the closing
days of his long and active life. Here
in this ideal home, blessed with all the
comforts his business sagacity and suc-
cess could bring him; with a devoted
wife and loyal children to rise up and
call him blessed; with his fellow citi-
zens of all conditions and creeds, eager
to pay him the homage due a quiet,
kind-hearted and upright fellow towns-
man, he has “ fallen on sleep.”
He was earnestly interested and help-
ful in our local improvements and was
a specially active aider and promoter
of the new Club House enterprise, and
there he whiled away in congenial com-
pany and leisurely entertainmentrmany
of his idle hours.
On Decoration Day he had a long
chat with his life-long friend Mr. Wm.
K. Lewis, and stated that for a month
or more he had been consciously fail-
ing in strength ; that he had spentabout
half his time in bed and had scarcely
made a visit to the Bridge in all that
time. He had frequently remarked to
others, that when the Lord saw fit to
remove him from earth, he hoped it
might be a sudden call rather than a
lingering death, and this wish, uttered
with the sincerity of a prayer, was mer-
cifully vouchsafed to him. There need
be no unavailing sorrow for him. His
is a record and a death earth’s greatest
fast friendship. He was fearless, faith-
ful and loyal to every trust, and when
such a man dies, departing so suddenly,
it is not wonderful that the shadow so
feared by mankind, should envelop the
town in its darkest. shroud of sorro
does, its tenderest sympathy in unstint-
ed measure, to the Wlfe who, With such
a terrible shock, has been w1dowed,and
the children who have been made
fatherless, as they Sit to-day in then
grief-stricken homes.
I cannotsav. and I will not say
That- he is dead.—-_He is just away!
With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand.
He has wandered into an unknown land, '
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, Since he lin ers there.
And vou—O you, w o the wil est yearn
For the old time step and the glad return,—
(l‘hink of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here
Think ofhini as the sam e, I say; ' '
