"Captain Thomas Burr Bartram, whose death took place last evening at Black Rock at the age of 83 years, was the son of Captain Thomas Bartram, and he was born, had lived, and died in the same house his father built and occupied. As his father was largely interested in shipping he naturally followed in the same line, commencing early as a sailor in the coasting trade between the Sound ports, New York and Boston. He soon advanced to command and continued in this trade about twenty years with success. He next purchased an interest in the Sturges & Clearman line of packet ships, trading with Savannah and other southern ports, in which he was also joined by his brother, the late Captain Joseph Bartram, and Captain Edwin Sherwood of Southport, recently deceased. This was a very lucrative business before the late war, and here he laid the foundation of his large estate. His later years have been spent in the quiet of his native village of Black Rock. Except as a director of the Bridgeport National Bank he has held no public position. He was deeply interested in the Black Rock Congregational church and since the death of his brother was the largest contributor thereto. He leaves a widow, two sons, and one daughter. The generation of old shipmasters of the type of Captain Bartram is fast passing off the stage."
