STOCKTON SPRINGS.
Our entire village was saddened Wednes-
day afternoon, Nov. 18th, by the death of our
highly esteemed and worthily popular young
dentist, Dr. Herbert B. Devereaux, from, as
it seems to his numerous friends, rapid
development of lung trouble, following the
serious attacks of hemorrhage few weeks
ago. Born the son of the late Capt. Albert
and Mrs. Augusta NJ. (Blanchard) Dever-
eaux in July, 1874, he passed his boyhood
here; and in young manhood entered the
Boston Dental College (now Tufts) and
after completing his course of study prac-
ticed successfully in Boston until the con-
dition of his invalid mother brought him
home to tenderly watch and care for her
through the last stages of a most painful
malady. Since her decease, three years ago,
he has found sufficient professional calls in
his native town and Searsport to induce
him to remain among old friends. Gifted
with musical talent, a fine appreciation of
the beautiful in nature, art and character,
and a great love of flowers, he was person
to enjoy and make the most of life but alas :!
the end has come. We mourn the departure
of such necessary young neighbor, realiz-
ing, however, that the loss is ours alone the
gain is his. The funeral took place Friday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Daniel
Thompson with whom he has made his
home since the decease Of his mOther) Rev.
A. A. Smith offering consolation to the be-
reaved affianced, his only sister, relatives
and friends, in his customary sympathetic
and satisfactory manner. The prOfusiOn of
beautiful floral tributes testified to the re-
gard entertained for the noble one gone by
those among whom he had spent his twenty
nine years of earthly life. Deep sympathy
is extended to those nearest and dearest the
deceased in their irreparable loss. Miss
Helen Gerrity, accompanied by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Certify, and brother,
Mr. Joseph of Bangor, attended the funeral
and were present at the bedside of their
dear one when the end came. Mrs. Phineas
Griffin, the only sister of the deceased, ar
rived from Boston to attend the services

came from Northport early last week to
visit his sister, Mrs. Ray Bowden. MIR. Will
lard NJ. Berry returned the middle of last

horse for his livery stable....Dr. G. A.
Stevens has recently purchased of Mr., S.
A. and Mrs. C. S. Rendell the land fronting
on west Main street, between the Lambert
and Trundy house and extending above

snOwstorm of the seasonal real clustering
one-but the mild weather of the present is
fast melting the white covering from every
thing. Our streets show no traces now of
the snow which tempted many to get out
their sleighs Sunday morning.
