OF Stanley II. Freeman. son OF Mr.. and Mrs
Ellis C. Freeman of Lincolnville, who died
at his home in Camden Nov. 2nd. The
Camden Herald Of Nov. 10th says of the de-
ceased:
Ever cheerful and pleasant, glad to accom-
modate, he made friends with all. He was
hard worker and a man of the strictest in
tegrity. Said prominent business man
"In his death our community suffers great
loss for he was an honor to his business, an
honor to the town"
Besides the young widow, a father, mother,

His life has ended hut his influence never
His earthly span was short but long enough
to show what an upright character. temper
ate habits, hard work, a cheerful face and a
brave spirit can accomplish against great
odds. w Z cannot see across the river on to

fast life on earth can only lead to a broader
nobler life beyond.

OBITUARY..

Martin Z. DIV orth, Jr., died at the home
of his parents on Main street about mid
night, Friday after an illness of about week
of slow fever, which finally developed into
typhoid. He was the youngest son of Martin
c. and Margaret Dilworth and was born in
Belfast Feb. %, 1880. He attended the COM
mon schools of this city, and was in various
employments out of school hours. When he
left school he was sophomore in the High
school. He was for some time messenger
for the Western Union Telegraph Co., and
Ia ter was in the employ of the Boston Tea
Co. He then entered the boot and shoe
store of B. c. Dinsmore & Son, where his
natural ability and faithfulness not only won
for him the highest esteem of his employers
but attracted the attention of the firm of
Critchett, Sibley & Co., who, after he had
been one year with Dinsmore & Son prevail
ed on that firm to allow them to employ
Martin in their counting room. He accept
ed the position and worked industriously
during business hours and studied short
hand and book keeping evenings. 1t is
probable that his ambition to advance in his
new position and to perfect himself in his
studies led him to overwork himself. He
was young man of great promise, of genial
and pleasant disposition and general favor
ite The parents, three brothers and two
SISTERS remain; two sisters and one brother
having passed on before him. The remain
