Mr. George G. Brown yesterday announced that the business would be continued as heretofore, under the old firm name of Brown, Forman & Co. Mr. Brown felt the death very keenly and has expressed it tenderly in the following card sent to those who are interested:
It is with profound sorrow that I announce the death at his residence in Louisville, Tuesday night, November 19, of my loyal friend and partner, Mr. George Forman, who has been associated with me in business for about thirty years.
Mr. Forman was a man full of sympathy, generous to a fault, scrupulously honest, and thoroughly loyal in his friendships, indeed, his was a character that endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, and in his death I sustain the loss of a friend almost as close as a brother.
Mr. Forman was originally employed by Mr. Brown as bookkeeper. By honesty and integrity he won his way to a partnership in the firm.
There was an understanding between Mr. Brown and Mr. Forman that in case of either's death the other should continue the business under the old name.
