Cedar street Monday evening to extend
greetings and congratulations, he being
eighty-tive years old on that day. His
daughter, Miss Julia Perry. received the

friend of the host. and neighbor when he
first came to the Head of the Tide She
was then Hulda Maxtield. Mr.. Perry was
born in Camden,an came to the Head of the

The news of the death of Payson Tucker,
with great sorrow all over the State He
had been in failing health for some months.
MIR. Tucker was for many years connected
with the Maine Central railroad and for tif-
teen years was its general manager. To his
untiring efforts and fine executive ability
the road owes much of its success. AS a
man Mr.. Tucker was extremely popular and
was beloved by the many employees of the
road, his retirement from the road three years
ago being sincerely regretted. MIR. Tucker was
a prominent Mason. He was also mem ber
of the Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks andOther literary, scientific and frat n
nal organizations. He leaves a widow, who
was Miss Brazer, sister of the late Daniel
BraZier of Portland The Portland Argus

the greatest railroad men who ever lived. a
man whose breadth and comprehension Of
the manifold details that go to make up the
elements of success in Il manager were so
great and so well known that at different
times his services were sought by railroads
all over the country. In spite of these flat
tering offers, however, some of them carry
ing with them salaries as great as that of the
President of the United States, Mr. Tucker
preferred to remain here and to manage the
Maine Central, the line which his genius
created and which he managed with such
success that for many years his name was
familiar as a household word all over this
State and in other near by States of New
England.
