IaliristOn G.. Lord.

Few men IN the eastern part of Somer-
set County were so widely known and as
highly esteemed as the one named above.
The circumstances of his sudden death
at his home In Canaan on Sunday, Jan.
26. were given in the REPORTER of last
week. He was born in Belgrade, and
was the son of Gle and Roxanna
(Carpenter) Lord. He lived short
time in Readiield, but spent the most of
his minority in Hartland He moved
thence to Canaan, which remained his
home until his death.
He was wagon maker by trade. He
drove the mail stage for twenty-six
years, and his route for the most of this
period was between Canaan and Skowhe-
gan. He was undertaken for thirty-five
years, and his services were in constant
demand in several towns in this vicinity.
He was man of large heart, and quick
sympathy, and was very helpful to the
sick and to those in distress. He was
accommodating to an unusual degreee, and
was unwearied in his efforts to be
helpful to all around him. He was
genial and generous in disposition, and
lived an exemplary, honorable life. He
will be sorely missed in wide stretch Of
country.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
afternoon, at the Union church. The
edifice was crowded, and extra seats had
to be brought in. The service was con-
Quoted by Rev. G. V. Hanson. Then
followed the impressive Masonic ritual
! for the burial Of the dead under the aus
pieces of Carrabasset lodge. The lodge
of Odd Fellows in Skowhegan with
which he was also connected, was well
represented at the funeral. Such a
demonstration has been seldom seen in
this pleasant village.
He was twice married. His second
wife, whose maiden name was Della
f. Turner, survives him. He also
leaves four sons, Fred S., Water
town, Mass, George c., Boston, Guy w.,
Pittsfeld, Scott, Canaan, and half
brother, Charles Bean, Hartland. An
excellent choir voiced the tribute Of
song, and choice floral offerings bespoke
the remembrance of surviving friends.
