1t don't advertise cheap trashy stuff

1t IS out Of my line to elbow q man

Old standish Cemetery.

The good people of Standish, in our county;
have recently made a commendable move
ment in the way of improving and extending
an ancient burial ground in their town lying
on the road to Bridgton, which was laid out
hundred and fifty years ago or more. 1t is
of interest to us because some of the ancient
residents of old Falmouth neck, now COM
prised within our city limits, have been in
tered therein. The Deans and other old
families who lived on this soil at the time
when Mowatt burned the town in 1915, i'm
mediately moved to Standish and ever after
ward remained there. The present well
known family of the Swaseys are defendants
of the Deans if we mistake not. The old
to neglect like many old country burial
places, but prominent townspeople have re-
Gently taken the matter in hand to restore it.
Mr.. Sheebow of California, native of Stan
dish, gave liberal sum and the Swaseys,
Bradburys and others have done their part,
and now the old ground has not only been
put into a proper and attractive condition,
but the land has also been purchased con-
tiguous to it, and the whole laid out into a
suitable and extensive cemetery equal to the
requirements of the town for many years to
come.
To carry out the work, the services of Mr.
P. Duffee of Portland, who has had long
experience in landscape. gardening and flori-
culture, not only in Europe but with the late
Hon. j. B. Brown, and more recently as the
worthy superintendent of our Evergreen
Cemetery, were obtained. He took hold of
the work, and, with some twenty men in all,
succeeded during five weeks in making
complete transformation of the place. The
old graves were returfed, the memorial
stones righted, the lots better defined, and
the grounds graded by gentle slope toward
the road and granite curbing wall set alo2g
the front A new roadway was opened
through the old part connecting with the new
and the latter laid out in more modernized
manner than the old part could be. The
whole work is remarkably well done and
reflects much credit upon all connected with
it, and the cemetery now may take rank with
any similar burial place hereafter.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
Mrs. Larrabee of jackson Dies Un-
der Peculiar circumstances.

BELFAST, Dec. 3.-AIrs. Helen Maria; wife
of Everett Larrabee, of Jackson aged -
years, died on Monday afternoon under cir
cumstances that aroused suspicion. Tues
day afternoon, Mr.. Morton, one of the select
ment. drove to Belfast, and notified Coroner
]. f. Wilson. Wednesday Mr.. Wilson held
an inquest at the house of John Larrabee
where the body was lying.
Mrs Larrabee on Monday, Nov 30th, gave
birth to child and was attended in her i'll
ness by Mrs. Lydia Larrabee, the mother OF
Everett. In the afternoon of the same day
the woman died The attention of the select
men was brought to the fact that Mrs. Lydia
Larrabee had made threats against her
daughter-in-law. Mr.. Wilson summoned
the following jury: John H. Boody, James
W. Wallace, R. E. Page, G. w. Hastg and
Allen Holmes of jackson and r. G. Dyer of
Belfast.
1t appeared in testimony that there had
been trouble in the family. Several wit
nesses, one the mother of the dead woman,
testified that Mrs. Lydia Larrabee in speak
ing of her daughter-in-law's confinement
said if she had anything to do with it she
would not live; that she had had one child
and never would live to have another, and
called her foul names. Mrs Larrabee told
her mother that she wanted physician but
supposed her husband, who was influenced
by his mother, would not have one. The
overseers of the poor sent for DR.. Libby of
Brooks, who arrived after the child was
born He was not allowed to see the patient
but was told that everything was all right.
He went away without seeing the woman.
Drs Libby of Brooks and Kilgore of Bel
fast on Wednesday performed an autopsy
on the body. It was their opinion that with
proper treatment and care the woman would
have lived
Mrs. Lydia Larrabee testified that she had
had experience as midwife, but had she
known that DR.. Libby was in the house
would have called him. She said there was
no trouble between herself and daughter-in-
law. The jury returned verdict that the
woman came to her death by willful neglect
on the part of Mrs. Lydia Larrabee.
Mrs. Lydia Larrabee, although woman
of good appearance, does not have the
respect of her neigbbors, and no one has
good word for her. When the coroner ar
rived she sat quietly in the kitchen rocking
the new born babe, the most unconcerned
person present. The matter will be laid be-
fore the County Attorney for his action.
