in Winterport and surrounding towns
where he was well known in professional

has been cut down in the prime of life from
a career of great usefulness and greater
promise, and his loss is deeply felt and
mourned. The funeral services were held

! of Howard Lodge of Masons and was large
ly attended. Very appropriate and fitting
remarks were made by the officiating
clergyman, Rev. NJ. Schneider. The tear
full group of friends, many of whom were
saying in their heart: 81 was sick and he
visited me-" expressed in the strongest
manner the high esteem in which he was
held and that his many deeds of kindness
and helpful words of courage and good cheer
were remembered. The bur ial was at the
Head of the Tide cemetery in Belf asst

months and 6 days, was the oldest of the
twelve children of the late Nathaniel and
Mary Clark Wells. He was born in
Gardiner, Me-, but spent his boyhood days
in Belfast. His father ran the slOop Spy

35 years.
The late Mr. Groeschner had host of
friends, as is proven by the kind words
heard on all sides the past week. He was
man who made friends to keep them, and
he made lot of them. He leaves behind a
memory that is one of the best things man
| can leave when he passes from earth, and
his family would feel gratified if they could
but hear all the warm expressions of friend
ship for him and his character which have
been voiced since the day of his DEATH
