Joseph De Monge of Brookhaven, age 87, died Saturday at the home of his sister, Mrs. Wallace Swezey, death being attributed to hardening of the arteries. He had been run down by an automobile two months previously and sustained a fracture of the leg which confined him to Miss Hughes' hospital, Patchogue, several weeks, since when he had gone about on crutches. He was very popular in Brookhaven, and commonly known as "Uncle Joe," being a farmer, and active up to the time of his accident. He was born in France and came to this country when a boy.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from Ruland's funeral chapel, Patchogue, with interment in the Brookhaven cemetery, the Rev. George F. Baker of Stony Brook and Brookhaven officiating. Mr. De Monge leaves his sister, Mrs. Swezey and several nieces and nephews, among whom are Mrs. Thomas Poole, Mrs. Julian Rose, Miss Leila Swezey and Frederick Swezey of Brookhaven, Mrs. Robert Morton of Patchogue, Mrs. Robert Rail of New Jersey, and Fletcher Swezey of New Haven.
