 This hamlet has again been visited by the death angel and taken Charles Hol- lister, a much respected citizsn, who had served his town as selectman and in va rious other ways and at the time of his death was foreman of V. c. Beers' tobac- co house. He also was member of the Grange and one of the charter members of the Order of United Workmen, be- ing one of the foremost in the building of their hall, in which he was on hand to do his part in everything in connection with it, acting as trustee and receiver of lodge funds. His funeral was held in the hall and 1t was filled to its utmost capacity. There was quite delegation from the Grange present, be- side many from the adjoining towns. The funeral was held at II o'clock, Monday, the 10th. As the hour arrived the mem- bers of the lodge formed procession at the hall and started for his residence, across the river. When they arrived op- posite the tobacco shop the tobacco shop boys formed another procession of up- ward of 100 in line to escort the remains to the hall for the last time. The services were in charge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, assisted by Rev John Nash, pastor of the Methodist church. Music was also furnished by the church choir, the selections being ''There is never 8 day SO dreary." and ''The Homeland Shore." The burial was in the Calhoun cemetery. There were upwards of 40 teams in the procession. The family have the sympathy of the community.
