He had been failing in health for some time and about ten days ago he had a stroke of apoplexy, which ended his career. Mr. Brimmer was a decendant of one of the oldest families of this town. He was a farmer by occupation and for a time was also engaged at brickmaking, but for several years past he had been living in retirement. He is survived by his wife and three sons: Henry, of Philadelphia; Miller, residing near Churchtown and Levi, residing in this borough, and five daughters: Catharine, wife of George Smith, of this borough; Susan, wife of John Peters, of Oxford; Fannie, wife of James Harbison, of Honeybrook; Maggie, wife of David McClure, of Downingtown; and Mary, wife of James Gay, of Coatesville.
