The Late Theodore Lincoln, of Dennys.

The late Theodore Lincoln, of Dcnnysville, in
Maine, whose death recently took place at the ven
cradle age OF eighty nine, was a man OF suDstah-
tial worth and excellence, still remembered by
few persons in this neighb ,rhood with high re.
gard. He was of the class OF l7S5 at Harvard, and
there remain on the catalogue but three survly-
ors Of Older date. Immediately after leaving col
ege, he removed to Dennysville, in Maine, where
he has ever since resided. lie was the pioneer OF
the settlers in that region OF Maine, which his Ia
Their, General Lincoln, had carefully examined,

the State of Massachusetts, In 1884, TO adjust the
conflicting boundary question under the treaty vi

others their titles under the grants Of the Common
wealth, Gen. Lincoln sent his son, with many OF
his old neghbors, TO plant themselves in that Sc
cuded region; and the population OF DennysviIie
and some .neighboring towns Is chiefly derived
from that emigration.
