VETERAN OF WAR IS MUSTERED OUT
Thomas Goff Brooke Passes Away Quietly
   At Home of His Son

   Within one day of being eighty years of age,
Thomas Goff Brooke, a veteran of the Civil War,
answered the last roll call and passed peacefully
away yesterday morning at the residence of his
son, Clinton Brooke, 5407 London road. He had
been a sufferer from asthma for several years, 
but the immediate cause of death was a general
breaking down of the system, which, combined
with the extreme old age of the patient, produced
the fatal results which had not been unexpected
for some days.
   Mr. Brooke was born on Christmas Day, 1825, 
and was reared in the neighborhoodof Newark, O.
When the war broke out he assisted in the 
recruiting of the 76th Regiment, of the Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, and enlisted as a private
in Company C. He fought through the war as a
corporal and rose to the post of drum major,
which he held when the company was mustered 
out of service. During the closing days of the
service he acted in the capacity of deputy
provost marshall and since the end of the war
has been identified with the G. A. R veterans.
   I 1882 the family moved to Minneapolis and
nine years later Mr. Brooke came to Duluth to
make his home with his son, where he has lived
even [sic] since. He leaves a son, Clinton and
a daughter Mary, in this city, and two sons
living in Minneapolis, Horace R. and W. Lee
Brooke, both engaged in business in that city.
   Brief funeral services will be held at the
residence this afternoon at 2 o'clock, after
which the remains will be shipped to Minneapolis
for interment.
