Marmont B. Edson.

Marmont B. Edson, who died in Brooklyn, N. Y., on the evening of Saturday, the 2d inst., was born in Otsego county, N. Y., seventy-nine years ago, and was buried from old Trinity church, New York city. His golden wedding was celebrated on October 7, 1891. Mr. Edson was of an inventive turn, and was chiefly known in connection with the pressure recording gauge which bears his name. He was a man of sterling integrity, of broad mind and warm heart, hence was an exemplary citizen, husband and father. Of late years he was possessed of large means, but this fact made no change in his daily walk and bearing, except that it enabled him to extend material assistance very often to worthy poor people and toward church work ; he once gave away $50,000 in a lump. With this exception his charities were never known to the world. He left a widow, a son—Jarvis B. Edson—a married daughter, a host of friends, a large fortune and an untar nislied name, which latter was the best heritage after all is said and done.
