                     PIONEER MERCHANT OF BERKLEY DEAD
            P. H. Brouellet Dies At Home After Illness Of Four Months

P.H. Brouellet, a pioneer merchant  and highly esteemed resident of Berkley, 
died yesterday morning at 3:10 o'clock at his residence, 609 Pearl street, 
after an illness of more than four months.
A native of Lynchburg and a schoolmate and lifelong friend of Senator Carter 
Glass, Mr. Brouellet came to Berkley in 1882 on securing the news contract 
with the Norfolk-Elizabeth City Railroad Company, which later became the 
Norfolk Southern Railroad.
In connection with the news business he opened the Atlantic book stores in 
Berkley and Norfolk, in which business he was engaged at the time of his 
death.  Mr. Brouellet was one of the organizers of the Berkley Permanent 
Building and Loan Association, which he served as vice president with the 
late Marcellus Miller as president.  Politically he was a staunch Democrat 
and served on practically every important delegation and committee elected 
by the Berkley people for a long term of years, being prominently associated 
with George W. Jones, at that time of this city, but later of New York.
He served as registrar and judge of elections for a long term of years.
Mr. Brouellet was a son of the late Paul and Mrs. Martha Ann Garnett 
Brouellet, but had lived in Norfolk for the last 45 years.  He is survived 
by one brother, A. Brouellet; one sister, Mrs. W.W. Bradshaw, both of 
Norfolk; two nieces, Mrs. H.T. Parker and Miss Margaret Lee Goodwin; two 
nephews, T.K. and James P. Goodwin, all of Newport News.
The body was taken to the funeral home of E. Lee Cox, 124 East Berkley 
avenue, from whence it will be taken to the First Christian Church, Berkley, 
this afternoon for funeral services at 4:30 o'clock.  Services will be 
conducted by Rev. John G. Truitt, pastor, and Rev. W.L. Murphy, pastor of 
Memorial M.E. Church.  Burial will be in the family lot in Magnolia 
Cemetery.  
                                  ************
