Willard Bemis and William Rudd of this city have been talking down an old house located on Mr. Bemis' farm, about two and one-half miles east of this city. The house was at one time used as an Indian trading store, which was kept by one John Bell, nearly two hundred years ago. The house is quite well preserved, and is being taken down with care, as Mr. Bemis expects to use a part of the building in the construction of his new barn at No. 176 North Main street, this city. The house is built with a double fireplace, and the kitchen is a large rambling old room, measuring 17 by 20 feet. It was a story and a half structure, the upper part being used as a store room and contained several old spinning wheels, looms and reels nearly as old as the house. Some of these have been preserved and are considered quite valuable by their owners.

Eugene R. Brown, for years one of Gloverevlle's best known merchants who became senior partner in the business where he started as a clerk, died at his home, 8 Allan street, yesterday morning at about 1.
Mr. Brown, head of the Cowles & Brown company, stationery dealers at 9 North Main street, had been in poor health for a long time, suffering a heart ailment but had been about of late and his death came suddenly and as a shock to a wide circle ef friends.
Over a term of many years, Mr. Brown, until his health prevented, had taken an active part in business and club affairs of the city, and few men had a wider acquaintance or more close friends. Ha had bean active in the Merchants' group of the Chamber of Commerce and did his shere in the promotion of many mercantile developments here in the past few years.
Mr. Brown was born in Gloversville, the son of the late John and Louisa Brawn and practically all his life had bean spent here. When a boy of eleven he became a newapapar carrier boy at the Cowles & Hill store at the same time he attended the schools.
Later when he had grown to manhood, be became connected with the business as a clerk. This connection started in 1907 and in the intervening thirty-four years he had advanced to a partnership.
Because of his application to his work and his business ability he soon won a place for himself in the personnel of the store. He was made a Junior partner in the firm in 1938 when it was known as Cowles & Casler. Following the death of Mrs. Daniel F. Cowles in 1933, the concern was re-organized and Mr. Brown waa made senior partner. Roy S Van Arnam was named the Junior member of the company at that time.
Although he waa not a member of any church he was actively interested in the affairs of the First Congregational church. He was a member of Gloveravllle Lodge, 336. B.P.O. Elks. He gave most of his time to his business and his home.
He was married in 1906 to Emily Bryce Washburn Brown who survives him. The only other survivor is one brother, Walter R. Brown of Gloversville.
