OBITUARY. Died in Rockland, Septem- |
Der 3rd, Hannah s., widow of the late |
James Carr. Mrs, Carr was born in East |
Bucksport, April u, 1929, and was daugh- |
ter of the late John and Catherine Carr |
She married James Carr of Searsport, by |
whom she had nine children, six of whom |
survive her. They are Nancy, George, |
Amos, Harvey, Charles and Walter. In |
her youth she was employed in the Lowell
cotton mills, but her married life was spent
in Searsport. She died at the home of her |
son George in Rochland. Mrs. Carr was
member of the SeaIsport Congregational |

of friends, who extend their sympathy to |
the family in their sorrow. The remains |
arrived from Rockland Tuesday and funer-
al services were held that afternoon at the
home of her son Henry. The interment |
was in the village cemetery.
