Death
Robert L. Brougham, late of the law firm of Charitree & Brougham, of this village [Glens Falls, Warren Co., NY], died very suddenly at Dansville, Livingston, Co. N.Y. at five o'clock A.M. Friday morning August 18, 1877, age thirty-four years. He was attacked with severe pneumonia about the 20th of May last, but under the treatment of Dr. Bullard of this village, he in a measure recovered therefrom but remained in such a feeble and nervous condition that he was induced by his friends to go to "Oak Home" medical institution at Dansville, under the charge of Drs. Jackson, arriving there about the 20th of June and remaining until his death.
There was much encouragement of his speedy restoration to health, but about a week prior to his death, he was attacked with very severe neuralgic pains in the head and face, suffering intensely at times, yet upon consultation had by Drs. Jackson and two leading and prominent physicians at Dansville the night before his death, no immediate cause for alarm was apprehended and it was thought he would be better as soon as he recovered from this neuralgic attack. From his sudden and unexpected death, the next morning the physicians draw the conclusion that an abscess of the lungs had opened. At three o'clock A.M. he awoke spoke to the nurse in attendance, rose up in bed and said he would get up, as it was time to do so. Two hours later he passed quietly and gently away. His remains were carried to Essex, Essex Couty [NY] where his wife's parents reside and were interred on Sunday, August 12. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor and friend Rev. Mr. Clumber of this place.
During all his sickness he was sustained and comforted by the presence of his devoted wife and although among strangers every care and attention was bestowed upon him.
Mr. Brougham was born in Montgomery County [NY], admitted to the bar about 1868, commencing practice at Greene, Chenango Co. [NY] and remained there until November 1871, when he removed to Glen's Falls, and entered into partnership with A.J. Cheritree which continued until his death.
He was a hardworking, industrious lawyer, faithful to the interests of his clients and had he possessed the requisite physical organization to endure the labor and strain incident to the practice of the law, would have reached a prominence in the profession. The reputation he leaves behind him is one well worthy of imitation. He was an exemplary Christian, a devoted husband, a faithful and honorable lawyer, a good man. Glen's Falls Messenger, Aug. 17.
