Named Entity Results, Thomas G. Broughton

From Norfolk.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch,] Norfolk, August 26, 1861. We are deeply pained to announce the death of our estimable citizen, Thomas G. Broughton, Sr., which occurred at his residence, in Bank street, on Saturday morning last, at a quarter to nine o'clock. Mr. Broughton, for many years, was senior editor of the Norfolk and Portsmouth "Herald, " and, under his guidance, it may have been said to have gained much of the popularity it possessed. His editorialsMr. Broughton, for many years, was senior editor of the Norfolk and Portsmouth "Herald, " and, under his guidance, it may have been said to have gained much of the popularity it possessed. His editorials were clear, sound and conclusive. Especially was this the case in the past campaign, in which he took an active part, in advocacy of Mr. Bell. Se seemed to have enlisted his whole energies in the field, and nobly did he perform his duties despite the powerful opposition against him. He emerged from the strugle not less fervid and with patriotism unimpaired. Of a kind, temperate disposition, which was united with an integrity of character, it was the joy of his compeers to look upon him with

The late Thomas G. Broughton. --The following sketch of the career of the venerable gentleman whose death has been announced in a letter from Norfolk, is copied from the Day Book, of that city: Mr. Broughton was born in Princess Anne couMr. Broughton was born in Princess Anne county, Va. during the year 1786, and was, therefore, 75 years of age at the time of his death. In the year 1821, he assumed the position of senior editor of the Herald, published in this city, which position he continued to fill without intermissl the storms that have swept over the community, the Herald, with his hand upon the helm, has survived them all. Mr. Broughton has filled a number of public positions, among them that of member of the City Council and Secretary of the Board of e, faithfulness and promptitude were the characteristics of all his trans actions. In all the relations of life, Mr. Broughton was affectionate, courteous and devoted. As a citizen he was much loved and respected, and his death is universally

Fortress Monroe, and one frigate and two steamers at Newport News, besides several small steamers plying between the latter place and the fort. There are also about fifty small sail-vessels in the Roads. The funeral of the venerable Thomas G. Broughton, late senior editor of the Norfolk Herald, was attended yesterday by a very large number of persons. An impressive discourse was delivered by Rev. Dr. Armstrong, of the Presbyterian Church, and at the quiet and peaceful sunset hour the remains were consigned to the silent repository of death. Mr. Broughton justly merited the high esteem which he enjoyed in the community of which he was a very useful member for the protracted period which I have already mentioned. A large circle of relations, including great-grandchildren, mourn the loss of one whose presence always contributed to the joy and delight of the family circle, and whose even temper, affectionate disposition, and active parental concern, had endeared him by the

rday that the entire fleet in the Roads had suddenly left; but I learned subsequently that this was not the case. The weather having changed favorably — wind northwest, and clearing off — the armada may soon attempt depredations at some point along the coast or up some deep river. A meeting of the Society of the Soldiers of the War of 1812, held recently in this city, passed the following appropriate resolution: "Resolved," That the death of our late esteemed ex- President, Thos. G. Broughton, deprives his fellow-soldiers of the war of 1812 of his experienced mind and dexterous pen, forever ready to espouse the just and merited rights of his companions in arms at an eventful period, now only in history. He believed it to be self- evident that the old soldiers of the war of 1812 who were infirm by age and ill-timed want were entitled to remuneration for faithful services rendered, and early advocated their claims. For such a man — for such a soldier — we sorrow, and with
