Obituary, 
Thomas Marchant, for 25 years su- 
perintendent of Greenwood Cemetery, 
Brooklyn, N. Y., died April 20, after 
a four-days’ illness with kidney trouble. 
Mr. Marchant had lived in the cemetery 
for forty-five years, his home being at 
the Sixth avenue entrance. Mr. Mar- 
chant was an Englishman and came to 
this country when he had just attained 
his majority, obtaining a position al- 
most immediately with the Greenwood 
Cemetery corporation as a gate keeper, 
gradually advancing to the position of 
superintendent, in which office he suc- 
ceeded William Scrimgeour, on the 
death of the latter in 1885. Before that 
he had for some years been acting su- 
perintendent, owing to the invalidism of 
Mr. Scrimgeour. Mr. Marchant was 
born on the 3d of April, 1830, and dur- 
ing his long life had never had a pro- 
longed illness, except the one which re- 
sulted in his death. He was a promi- 
nent Mason and a respected citizen of 
Brooklyn. A widow and one daughter 
survive him.
