| notice. She was about seventy-twG years of
age. Her life was that of a modest and
quiet woman, devoted and throughly I'M

Jane" IRON each marriage there was
daughter and a son. The oldest daughter,
wife of the late Capt. Dennis Haskell, was
drowned at sea twenty years ago, by the
| sinking of the "kremlin" from collision
with an English steamship. BY all this it
will be seen that to the subject of this no.
tce the first knowledge of her most severe
sorrow came suddenly. and it might be tru-
ly said that she never really recovered from
the shock and grief caused by her daughters
tragic death. The oldest son is Capt. Ed.

Mrs j. S. Spofford, both of Deer Isle. The
youngest son is 7. B. Haskell of Salem,

ter who was drowned. Mrs, Haskell will
long be remembered by the many who
loved her. and by her children and her chill
dren's children. over all Of whom she had
such loving care and who was to them all
that fond and faithful mother could ever
be. Ellsworth American
