Death of Alfred Mortimer Roscoe of New Haven

Alfred Mortimer Roscoe, eldest son of the late Alfred L. Roscoe of this place, died Sunday morning in the sixtieth year of his age. Mr. Roscoe was born in New Haven and has always been closely identified with the interests of his native town. With only a common school and academical education, he early became a merchant. He continued in the business alone until his death. Mr. Roscoe has held various positions of trust, has been many years town clerk and was postmaster when he died. He represented this town in the general assembly in 1857, as did his brother Henry in 1859. Mr. Roscoe united with the New Haven Congregational church in 1861 and has lived an upright, conscientious life, always in prompt and active sympathy with every religious, educational and public interest connected with this community. A widow and children survive. Funeral services will be attended from the church this (Wednesday) afternoon at one o'clock.
