We had in type from our North Searsport
correspondent an obituary of the late VIM
M. Larrabee before our Searsport items were
received, including notice of the deceased
from which we take the following addition
al facts. After mention of the adonted
daughter our Searsport correspondent says
"He also brought up Herbert T. Scribner,
who made his home with them until he en-
listed in Co. E, 18th Me. Regt. Mr.. LARA
bee was a man of broad ideas, and though
Democrat all his days made no hesitation
when Sumpter was fired on in announcing
himself for the Union, and some of the most
stirring speeches made at the mass meeting
during the war times were made by him.
He was several times honored with local
Office, serving as selectman several wears.
and when the town decided to try the ex-
pertinent of road commissioner he was
selected to ill that office. Last fall he went
to see many of his relatives, visiting Port
land, Browntield and Boston, and remarked
that he had not felt 80 we'll for years. About
week before his death he had paralytic
shock from which ho never rallied.
