DEATH OF SILAS NEWTON BROOKS


For Twenty-six Years a Resident and Prominent Business-Man of Chicago

  Silas Newton Brooks died at his home, No. 271 Warren avenue at an early hour
yesterday, after a short illness.  He was 71 years old, having been born in
Bernardston, Mass. on Dec. 20, 1825.  He took an active interest in Massachusetts
politics before coming to Chicago in 1871.  From 1860 to 1870 he served in the
Massachusetts Legislature.

  On coming to Chicago he became a member of the firm of Sargent Greenleaf &
Brooks, which in January last was succeeded by S.N. Brooks & Co.  Until a few
weeks ago he was in good health and actively attending to the details of his
business.  Kidney trouble was the cause of his death.
