This town is called upon to mourn the
loss of one of its most honored and in
huential citizens, B. F. Lincoln, who pass
ed away last Thursday from heart disease.
Mr.. Lincoln had been in poor health for
some time, and had been confined to his
house of late, though it was expected that
he would be able to be out again ere long.
He was born in Mass. in 1881, where he re-
ceived a good business education. In his
early life he spent some time in Whining
ton, Del, California and elsewhere, where
he became acquainted with business and
men and laid the foundation for a very
Lyndon in 1862, when he went into bust
ness in tin and hardware. Later he went
into partnership with Dudley Hall and S.
S. Thompson in the lumber business in
Lyndon and Burke, later to go into the
pineries in Michigan where they did
large business. Mr.. Lincoln was a strong
republican and was honOred by a seat in
the House three times and in the Senate
twice. Two years ago he was very favor
ably mentioned for lieutenant governor,
position he might have won if he had
made as much effort as many men would
make under favora BILE circumstances. He
was president of the Lyndon bank, and
member of Masonic lodge, No. Sc. He was
a public-spirited, useful citizen and his
loss will be felt in his town and county.
