Notes |
- William Henry Brownrigg, barrister-at-law, died in Bridgewater, April 5th, 1888, at the age of thirty-two.
He was educated at the Pictou Academy and Dalhousie College, where he took high rank in his classes, and he supported himself by his own industry and unaided efforts. He was a born athlete, :and excelled in cricket, foot-ball, and all manly sports. Those who knew him only in his later years, when a lingering disease had broken down his once magnificent physique, can form but a slight conception of what he was a few years ago, when, as captain of the Dalhousie foot-ball club, he led his team to victory against the best city and military clubs. After leaving college Mr. Brownrigg became Principal of the Stellarton High School, and subsequently of the Guys- boro' Academy, and more recently of the Bridge water High School. He was an able and successful teacher, and always esteemed and beloved by his pupils. He subsequently studied law, and was admitted to the Bar in 1886.
" In the death of Mr. Brownrigg, our town has lost one of its best and most promising citizens. He was one of Nature's gentlemen, and his many friends will not soon forget his kind and unobtrusive disposition, his genial and unassuming manner, his innate love of truth and justice, and above all, that rich vein of quaint, original humor which not even disease and suffering could subdue."
Mr. Brownrigg married Amelia F., daughter of the late E. D. Davison, Esq. [7]
