Mr.. EDrToR:-In the notice Of the death OF
Capt. Calvin R. Humphrey of Yarmouth in
the news column of the PRESS of yesterday,
the statement that he entertained company at
his residence during the evening Sunday IS
hardly correct. The only company at his resi-
dence at the time, or during the day snd even
ing was his daughter and her husband who
came Saturday from Gorham on visit for
few days. His family would not like to have
the impression go out that be entertained COM
pany Sunday evening as that was not his way
of keeping the Sabbath, therefore they ask
correction of the notice in this particular.
