Copies of the resolutions are to be sent to relatives of the departed. S. S. Thresher, president of the as- sociation, presided, and prayer was offered by Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown. William J. Brennan. The_resolution upon the late Wil- liam J. Brennan of New London was presented by Charles B. Whittlesey as follows: William J. Brennan, an _honored member of this bar, died at his home in New London. Conn, on November 19, 1916. He was born in that city November 6, 1869 the son of William Joseph and Josephine Brennan, He_ attended the public schools of New London and graduated from the Tulkeley school in the class of 1887, the valedictorian of his class. He en- tered the office of the late Augustus Brandegee the following August as cierk and chere *took up the study of the law, in which office he remained Quring the rest of his life. He was admitted to the firm of which Mr. Brandegee was the head. He was as- sociated in practice, through succes- sive changes in the firm, with the late Augustus Brandegee, Judge Walter Noyes, United States Senator Fran B. Brandegee, the late Michael Kenea- Iy and Charles B. Whittlesey. For a rumber of years he was the corpora- tion .counsel of his native city, hold- ing. that office at the time of his death. He brought to the study of the law a clear and logical mind and studious nature which soon made him master of his chosen profession. As an advo- cate he was clear and convincing, but he ruch preferred the calm of office work to the strife of the court room and it was a counsellor rather than | advocate that he excelled. Here his calm, unerrinz judgment and wise and sound advice were of inestimable value, both to his clients and to his associates. To his associates at the | bar the traits of character which out most cearly were his unfailing fairness to all, both client and oppo- uent. and his zenerous <onsideration of his fellow Jiwyers. Mr. Brennan took a keen interest in political affairs, being an ardent re- publican. He was a member of the Connecticut senate in the session of 1805, and for a numbes of vears prior to his death had been the chairman of the republican town committee, and | a member of the republican state cen- | tral committee. No political battles, however, caused him to indulge in any bitterness, but his campaigns were always conducted with the same fair- nn's and generosity toward his oppo- n ats which marked his career at the bar: so that after over 25 vears of the practice of the law and the leader- shin in many political battles he_did with the respect and friendship of all who knew hi mand the enmity of none, He had a personality which attract- ed all with whim he came in contact. A pleasing talker, a sympathetic list- ener, witty. with o wit that had no sting, loval to his friends and courte- cus to all, he made friends of all priv- ilezed to know him. intimately. The resolutions were by A. P. Tan- ner, Joseph T. Fanninz. Lucius Brown. Charles B. Whittlesey and John C. Geary. Foth Mr. Whittlesey. Mr. Tannar snd Mr. Geary spoke after the reso- lutions had been offered. Amos A. Browning. J. J. Desmond read the following resolutions in regard to the Jate Amos A, Browninz of this city, which had been prepared by a committee con- sisting of Judge Lucius Brown, W. S. Allis, Tracy Waller, J. J. Desmond and Alfred Coit: The death of Amos A. Browning has taken from the bar of this county a member who had merited and _ac- | quired the sincere esteem and affec- | tion of us all, and whose call to an- | other life has caused genuine sorrow to all who knew him. Gifted with a strong and keen in- tellect, which industry and training had cultivated and developed, he had become a thoroughly equipped lawyer, on whose sound judgment and profes- sional knowledge his clients and as- sociates confident® relied. Throughout his life his sterling in- tionable: and this combination of hon- esty, devotion to duty and mental ca- pacity and equipment, made him an exceptionally valued counsellor, and citizen of the best type. He was blessed, too, with a dispo- sition and temperament that enabled him to discharge the delicate and ar- duous tasks of his calling without ever evoking the resentment or enmity of others. He gave his time and services gen- erously and willingly to the public whenever called upon: and all who know his career. as well as those who have had the pleasure and advantage of serving with him. can bear testi- mony, to the unselfish and efficient cha er of his public work. Amos A. Browning was a Christian gentleman: ag well as a sound law- ver: and his life may well serve as a model and an inspiration to his breth- ren of this bar, who mourn the re- moval from our ranks of this capable, unassuming, justly admired, and uni- versally loved and respected associate and comrade, and who offer this record as an expression of their affection and esteem of their deceased brother and as a tribute to his manly career re- plete with kind words and good deeds.
