LEE Former Supreme Court Clerk Benjamiu F. Lee, of Trenton, died at Atlantic City Sunday afternoon at the age of 81 years, after several days' illness from bronchial pneumonia, which he contracted on top of months of ill health. Death, which had been feared by his physicians, came peacefully, after the members of his family had been summoned to his bedside. The body will be taken back to Trenton tomorrow and interred in Tiinity P. E. Cemetery. Mr. Lee came down two weeks ago with Mrs. Lee for the benefit of bis failing health. The attack of pneumonia came on, however, after he had contracted a slight cold, and the efforts of his physicians were fruitless in view of his advanced age. Francis B. Lee, his son ; Mr. and Mrs. Huston Djxon, daughter aud son-in-law, were summoned here' two days ago, and have been in call in expectation of the death summons. Mr. Lee was born in Port Elizabeth in 1828 and resided in South Jersey until 1872, when he was appointed Supreme Court Clerk by Governor Parker for a term of five years. He was subsequently reappointed four times. Inpolitics Mr. Lee was a Democrat, and -for a generation was one of three men who dominated the political affairs of the State. The other two were Henry 8. Little, now deceased, who was Clerk in^Ohancerv. and Former Secretary of tate Henry G. Kelsey. These three men were at the head of the ; Democratic party which was then Jn control of affairs in New Jersey until the appearance on The scene of Leon Abbett, who afterward was twice Governor of the state. Mr. Lee was identified with .a number of business interests and was the principal owner of the Trenton Tile Company. He was also prominent in 1 railroad affairs and was a director of ' the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad. He was well known and highly es- 1 teemed in this oity. MRS. EMMA J. THOMPSON ' Mrs. Emma J.
