The people here were much saddened
to hear of the death in New York on
Wednesday of Mr.. Frank II. SWEET of
this place. Mr.. SWEET, who was former
ly of Portland, had been many years in
the employ of the Yale Lock Co. as in
spector of bank and vault locks, and had
travelled nearly all over the United
States. About four years ago, he, with
his wife, made their home in this village
for the purpose of caring for her aunt,
Mrs. Kate harrington. Mr.. SWEET has
enjoyed his life here much, in the sum-
mer caring for large garden, and dur
ing a few months of the winter going to
the cities in his former employment.
The present winter he was to visit the
banks of New York, Baltimore, Wash
ington and Philadelphia. He was taken
sick in New York with severe pain in
his foot, went to the hospital, where it
developed into carbuncles or boils, and
he lived but one week after that. His
remains were taken to Forest Hills
Cemetery, Boston, to await burial in the
spring.
The town schools closed this week,
the terms being shorter than usual.
The measles have progressed as far as
West Lowell.
Mr.. Cushman has moved to the home
of his son, l.. c. Cushman.
P. b. Walker has been confined to the
house for week with bad cold and
throat trouble.
S. H. McAllister was at Portland Sat-
urday to see his brother Oldin, who is at
the hospital with broken leg. He
found him very comfortable, but the
outcome of the accident is still doubt
full.
B. E. Brown is in Boston for a short
