Sudden Death of Chandler futile.

Chandler futile, one of our oldest
and most respected citizens, died sud-
denly in his Office at o'clock, Tuesday
afternoon, of heart disease, aged nearly
IS years. Mr. futile was apparently in
good health and had just finished some
business at the court house and return
ed to the office, and had been there
but few minutes when the end came
Charles F. Jones, with whom he had
desk room, was present when he expired.
Mr.. futile was born at Paris, Oxford
county, December IA, 1918. He was one
of family of ten, the son of John and
Polly (King) futile. Ills early life was
passed in the vicinity of his birthplace,
and at the age of q he went to Augusta,
making the journey on foot, and entered
harness shop to learn the business.
After acquiring the trade, he worked
while in Boston Then he returned to
Augusta, going into the business of
manufacturing harnesses on large
scale, in which he continued until 1856.
AT that time with his family, he moved
to Skowhegan and upon arriving in this
town he opened harness shop, but did
not remain In that business long In
company with the late D. Y. B. Ormsby,
life long friend, he went to New
Brunswick, establishing stage line
running out of Fredericton. He con-
tinued in this business through the
winter. Returning to Skowhegan he
entered the mill business in company
with two brothers, Benjamin F. and
Harry, and the late Reuben Kidder.
After several years he sold his interest
to the late Hiram Burrill in order that
he might engage in the furniture trade
with his brother Robert. This they
continued successfully until the firm
sold out to K. F. Fairbrother who in
turn Rold to j. P. Oak.
For many years Mr. futile was en-
gagged in the insurance business and
bought and sold real estate. He dispos
ed of his insurance agency about nine
years ago to Charles Folsom Jones but
practically did not retire from active
business. AS a matter of fact it can be
said that he died in the harness as less
than an hour before his death he was at
the court house to record the transfer
of mortgage.
In 1S48 he married Martha L. Ballard,
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Epbraim
Ballard of Augusta. Besides his wife,
he left three sons, Frederic G. of Bos'
ton, Frank and Robert II of this town.
The funeral will occur at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at his late home on
Madison avenue. The services will be
conducted by Rev Dwight A. Ball,
pastor of the Universalist church, and
interment will be in the family lot in
the South Side cemetery. The bearers
will be his three sons.
