Policeman Llewellyn II. Jipson died al
his home on Main street October 18th after
a painful illness of about two months. He
was taking his annual vacation from the
Belfast police and serving as a special al
Maple Grove Campmeeting in August, when
he was taken suddenly ill and was brought
home. He was not able to leave the house
again. His case had some unusual symptoms
and the physicians were unable to decide as
to its exact nature. A post mortem ex.
animation showed chronic troubles in the
stomach and liver, an adhesion which stop.
ped connection between the stomach and
the bowels and 2 large concretions in the
| common bile duct. Had an operation been
attempted after his attack at Maple Grove
it could not have helped him. Mr. JipsOn
was born in Belfast in 1856, and was har.
ness maker by trade. For several wears
past he has been on the night police force
of this city and has proved an efficient
officer. He was twice married. His first
wife was Annie M. Doe and his second
Hattie Light, both of Belfast. He leaves to
mourn their loss, his wife, three small
children and his aged parents, Howard and
Lydia Jipson. The funeral was held at his
late home Sunday afternoon, Rev. G. E.
Edgett officiating

Mrs. Alma Woodbury. of Morrill, and Lau-
rim Greer of Boston. He was unmarried.

The floral offerings were very beautiful.
There was large attendance, as the de-
ceased was honored by all who knew him
as an upright and worthy citizen, and was
loved by a large circle of warm friends who
had come to know his true worth by close
acquaintance. The bearers were four of
his lifelong friends, Arthur Hatch, Justin
Mariner, Arthur and Edward Sheldon. Ex-
cellent music was rendered by the Morrill,

Stockton Springs has met with another
heavy loss in the death of Capt. Charles S.
Rendell. A man of affairs, of sterling in
tegrity, a wide acquaintance and keen
observer Of passing events, specially inter-
ested and identified with the interests of
his own town, interested always in Sunday
worship and parish matters; he leaves a va
cancy hard to fill. Capt. Rendell began sea
life when he was eleven years old and
worked steadily up till at about twenty he
commanded the bark n. G. Hichborn, and
thenceforward, in constant service, was
master of other larger vessels, until nineteen
years ago he retired from the sea. A widow,
sister of the late Hon. n G. Hichborn, and
one sister are left And so the mists gather
along the shore lifting sometimes to an ex-
pectant soul. But the waters are not deep
nor the way long. 1t is only a step across
to the mystic portals that open to the end
less deep. slope sees a star and listening
love can hear the rustic of a wing
