quite successful in his business enterprises

of returning again to Maine, when he was
suddenly stricken down. and in the prime
of his manhood, and i'll the full vigor of

Mr.. Carlton was the son of Col. Rowland

they were anxiously, and daily looking for

Mr. Carlton was widely known in THIS
County, having resided here good part of
his life time. He was generous to a fault,
of noble instincts. kind disposition, and a
warm hearted and fast friend. He took a
hopeful View of the world and of life; and
instead of yielding to dependency when
