Mrs. Sarah E. MichHls of West Rockport
died very suddenly last Thursday morning
at the home of her nephew and niece, Mr..
and Mrs. Eugene Achorn, whom she was
visiting. She had been apparently in her
usual health until Wednesday, and only
complained then of a slight indisposition
Wednesday night she retired as usual ard
was heard moving about in her room as late
as O'clock Thursday morning, but there
were no unusual sounds then. When her
niece went in to call her to breakfast at 5 80
o'clock she was found to be dead. DR..
Brown of Swanville was called, who decided
that her death was from paralysis Of the
heart. Mrs. MichRls was native of West
Camden, her maiden name being Ingraham.
after living here few years they moved to
West Camden, now West Rockport, where
they have since lived. Her husband died 4
years ago, and she leaves one daughter, Mrs.
Lizzie Gould of West Rockport. She was a
devout and earnest Christian and Joined the
Baptist church in early life. Her daily life
was in full accord with her profession. She

remains were taken to her late home, where
funeral services were held Friday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. A. Snyder, the pastor Of
her church.

Obituary.

Capt. Hiram Y. Hodgdon died at the
home Of his niece, Mrs. Laura Hodgdon, No.
73 Bridge street, Saturday morning, Oct.
18th, from injuries inflicted by himself the
day previous. For twenty-five years he had
been almost helpless from paralysis, his
lower extremities being entirely paralyzed,
although his mind was generally clear and
he had the use of his arms. Friday fore
noon when alone in his room he took a razor
with which he had been shaving himself,
and cut deep cash in the forward side of
his left arm near the elbow joint severing
the artery. A friend who came in at that
time saw what he was doing and Drs.
Fletcher and Ellingwood, who live near by,
We're called They dressed the wound but
he lost much blood before they arrived
that he died early the next morning Capt.
Hodgdon was native of Northport son
Of the late Capt Robert and Mrs. Sarah
Hodgdon. In early life he followed the sea,
and when a young man became captain.
He numbered among the best of the
young master mariners of his day, and com
manded a number Of large vessels in the
southern coasting and West India trades.
His vessels were chiefly owned in New Ha-
van and he moved there when young man.
The schooner Templeton, one of the largest
then in the West India business, was built
for him and he commanded her several
years. In the winter of 1878, while at
home in New Haven, he slipped on an icy
walk and injured his spine, which resulted in
paralysis, as above described. He then had
SIS 900 in savings bank which in addition
to property owned by his wife would have
served for his support for many years. But
this bank failed, and he lost nearly all. His
fe formerly Melissa Cottrell, daughter Of
Sylvester Cottrell of Belfast, was most de-
voted to him, and as long as her life was
spared cared for him most affectionately,
practically giving her life to promote his
comfort and to provide for his needs. She
died about four years ago. Since the loss of
his property Phoenix Lodge of Masons and his
brothers and sisters have provided the f.
nancial means Of his support, and since his
wifes death have paid his board at various
places, wherever he might choose to CO.
When in youth and in the prime of life he
was not only one OF the most enterprising
and faithful of captains, but man he was
whole-souled and generous, honest and hon
orable in all his dealings. Since his acci-
dent his consultations have been the COM
panionship of friends and his books and pa
pers. Through all his sufferings he has
kept well posted on curren. events, and
was constant reader of the magazines and
the works Of the best writer's in literature
and science. AT times he would dwell NOR
bidly on his condition and there is no doubt
that his mind was thus unsettled when he
made this attempt on his life. Two sisters
and three brothers survive him. Mrs. S. r.
Cottrell and Mrs. Geo. W. Cottrell Of Bel
fast, Capt. Geo. Hodgdon of New Haven,
Capt David and Mr.. Judson Hodgdon of
Walnut Grove, Arizona.

notified of the approach Of southwesterly
gale, but all day wind clouds had been sour
rying across the sky. giving warning to
every sailor of rough night, This time
the City of Bangor was headed straight
across thus keeping dead before it, as the
course along the shore would have brought
wind and sea first on one quarter and then
on the other. Before o'clock the saloon
was deserted and long before that many had
sought their berths, as a precautionary mea-
sure or as Neptunes victims. 1t was sur
prising that the placid waters passed over
but little more than twelve hours before
could have become SO boisterous. For all
that the staunch and speedy steamer made
good time and landed her Belfast passengers

learn of his death with regret.
John, son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Went

after lingering illness of nearly eight years
duration. Everything that kind and loving
parents and friends could do was done for
him, but his case was one that baffled the
most skillful physicians. There seemed to
be no help until death came to his relief,
heart failure being the cause. More than a
year since he met with a great change which
caused his life to be more cheerful and pleas
ant, never complaining or murlnuring at his
lot. He will be greatly missed BY all Of his
friends, especially by his mother, who has so
tenderly cared for him during his long sick
ness. The funeral services were held at his
home Wednesday afternoon Oct. 9th, Rev.

Rest your arm on the edge Of the ice if
possible, but do not attempt to climb
out alone, for you will lose the strength
which you will need when assistance ar
rives. If a person remains perfectly qui-

through his clothes and his body re-
