Thomas Brotzman, a machinist at the Lehigh Valley Shops for forty-five
years and a well known and respected citizen, died at 10 o'clock this

paralysis, after an illness of about five years. During that time he
sustained eight strokes, the last attack proving fatal. He was 79 years
of age. He was most popular at the Valley Shops and was always a kind-hearted
and sociable.

daughters: Frank W. Brotzman, of California; Charles E. Brotzman, of
Denver, Colorado; Leonard H. Brotzman, Mrs. Anna Dorshimer and Mrs.
Edward Kester, of this city. He was a member of Easton Lodge, No. 152,
F. and A.M., and of St. Paul's Lutheran church, South Side. During
the Civil War, he served in the Union army as a wagon master. After
the war he started as a machinist at the Lehigh Valley Shops and retired
five years ago when he was taken ill.
