0, father, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still;
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow
DSur aching hearts we know
VuAs1ye no father now.

known financiers in Eastern Maine. His
first business venture was the establishment
of general store in Broad street, near
West Market square. The enterprise was
successful, and, shortly afterwards the
general store was transformed into whole
sale grocery, which he conducted with sue
