Ebenezer Tucker Burnap. who passed
away on Friday, November 30, was eighty
two years of age, having been born at Au-
burn, Mass, ia 1878 His father and also
his grandfather, Captain Jonathan Tucker,
were soldiers In the Revolutionary war. At
the age OF eighteen, Mr. Burnap with his
mother and older brother came to Cabot
and bought what was known at that time
as the COburn farm aud lived on the same
one year. After selling this farm back to
| Coburn Brothers, they then purchased the
farm on which Mr.. Burnsp has ever since
lived and occupied at the time of his de-
cease. In 1866 he was welded to Samantha
Bliss, who preceded him to her rest in Oc-
tober, 1899. He was member of the Com
gregatiOnal church under its first organiza-
ton and later affiliated himself with the
Advent church at Lower Cabot, holding the
position of steward and trustee since 1858
Mr.. Burnap has always been a much re-
spected and prominent townsman, manag-
ing his own affairs with shrewdness ana
carefulness yet always being lenent and
kind to his debtors. We are told that his
action and treatment toward his hired men
were such as always won their deepest res
pect and admiration for their employer. He
has been tenderly and lovingly cared for
in his falling health by his only heir, Mrs.
Mary Burnap Dwinell, who with her hus-
band, II Olive Dwinell, occupy the old
OF wide circle of friends in this her double
loss within nearly year.
