Obituary.
Charles Wilson Tompkins, a prominent resident of Brooklyn, and who has made his home at Nyack for the past few years, died suddenly in that village on Sunday, as a result of a stroke of paralysis, which he suffered on Saturday evening, shortly after 6 o'clock.

Mr. Tompkins was born at Ashland, Greene county, N. Y., the son of Solomon and Betsy Tompkins, and for a number of years had made his home in Brooklyn, where he was prominent in the brokerage business. His father died a number of years ago, and his mother died at Matteawan two years ago, at the age of 95 years. He was one of a family of ten children, of whom four survive.
Mr. Tompkins was a veteran of the Civil War, having served as a member of the 120th Regiment, N. Y. Vols. He was wounded in the battle of Gettysburg, and absent for some time on sick leave, later being mustered out with his regiment.
He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Doel, to whom he was married at Matteawan a number of years ago, and by his children: William, of Madison, N. J.; George, of Albany; DeWitt, Lloyd and Mabel, of Nyack; and Anna, of Brooklyn. He is also survived by three brothers and one sister: Frank O., of this city; E. Lakin, of Fishkill, H. B., of Nyack, and Mrs. S. A. Coldwell, of Matteawan.
The funeral services will be held at the old homestead at Matteawan, now occupied by Mrs. Coldwell, on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, and the interment will be in the family plot in that village.
Mr. Tompkins was well known in this city, where he had visited a number of times and where he was interested in real estate, he having erected the first seven cottages on Courtland Place when that street was opened some years ago.
