every comfort and care possible was Civ

wonderful life of venture and world
roaming. He was born at Gorham, Me-,

gold fields, fought Indians in Texas, and
served Uncle Sam in the late war All
our people knew and esteemed him for
his manifold sterling qualities. In his

was, above all, independent, honorable
and honest; and for such, and from the
place he has filled so long, we shall all
sadly miss him." Captain Millions will
be well remembered by many of the old
er citizens in Portland.
