OBITUARY.
Died in Bristol, Me-, March 18th, Capt.
VIM. McClintock aged go years, month.
The death of Mr. McClintock deserves more
than passing notice. He was born in the
town he died in, and in house but hun
bred feet distant from where he breathed
his last. His boyhood days were passed on
the old farm, but about the time he came of
age he took to the sea and for many years
sailed out of the port of Belfast, in COM
mand of the schooner Democrat, and later
of the brig Arixene; two of the large fleet
of vessels which made Belfast the thrifty
marine port it was during the middle of the
last century. The loss of the Arixene in
Nov. 1915, and the hardships of the few
days after the disaster of his vessel and be-
fore the rescue of her crew by the schooner
Montreal, caused him to quit the sea. In
the meantime Mr.. McClintock had married
Miss Hannah d. Staples of Searsmont. In
1916 they left the old Staples homestead in
Searsmont, where they had lived several
years, and took up their residence on the
old farm in Bristol, where he resided until
his death. He belonged to that sturdy race
of pioneers who combined farming and sea-
going and made the coast of Maine famous.
Sterling integrity and sunny, genial dis
position placed him at various times in po-
sitions of trust, all of which were honorably
discharged Mr.. McClintock was man
who kept pace with the political times in
which he lived, and by careful reading was
able to form strong opinions of his own and
hold them against all corners. He is the
last of the family who have made Bristol
their home since I'LL. 1t may well be said
of him, the world was made better by his
having lived in it. He leaves an adopted
daughter, Mrs. Angie NJ. Sprowl. He was
buried beside his wife, his father and others
of the family, in the Harrington church
yard, the services being held on Sunday
morning.
