Dig tramp steamer which we afterward
learned was the Dorset, from Bangor for

until the Fiona was Off the Battery, when
it began to fail and after passing the steam

OBITUARY..

Departed from this life early Tuesday
morning, Aug. Sth, Thomas Philip Logan,
one of Belfast's oldest citizens. Mr.. Logan
was born in Belfast, Ireland. Oct. 13, 1918
and came to this city in 1848. He first went
to work for the late Luther CO0mbs in liv.
cry stable connected with the old New Eng.
land House and later was employed for a
time in Searsport. Afterwards he went to
Calais, where he drove stage between that
place and Cherryfield. About 1855 he re-
turned to Belfast and made this his perma-
nent home. He engaged in the jobbing and
teaming business, in which he continued
actively until four years ago when, owing
| over to two of his sons He was also en-
gagged in the retail ice business and was the
pioneer dealer in this city. He first began
to deliver ice about town in the summer of
1859. 1t was considered a novel venture at
that time and he had to give much of the
ice away to cultivate demand for it. He
| was a hard working, industrious man and
set no time limit to a days work. He was
honest and upright in his dealings and a
| man greatly devoted to his family. He
| married Oct. II, 1855, Sarah Jane Clark of
this city, who survives him. Thirteen chill
dren were born to them, ten OF whom are
now living The children are: Sarah, wife
Of Charles Howard of Caribou; Grace, wife
OF l. D. Robinson, Boston; Alice, wife of
George Sweetland, Mrs. Marshall Knowl-
ton Misses Mary E., Margaret c., Thomas
P, Robert c. and Charles A., who reside
in this city and Frank E. of Bangor. The
funeral services will be held at his late res
idence, % Bridge street, this, Thursday,
afternoon at $50 o'clock. Rev. G. G. Wins
low will be the officiating clergyman.
Samuel Bennett, who died in PreSque
Isle July 31st, was the Oldest of eight
children, four boys and four girls and is
survived by two brothers, j ohm Bennett of
Presque Isle and Charles Bennett of Long
Beach, Calf. Mr.. Benefits parents re-
sided in Montville, and later in Anson,
subsequently moving to Strong in Franklin
county, from which place the deceased
went to ArOOstOOk, first settling in Wood
land in the year 1S4S, and about four years
years of age Mr.. Bennett married Miss
Harriet Stevenson of the town of Starks.
Six children we're born to them, three Of
whom are living, Mrs. Moody Of Skowhegan,
Mrs. Everett Of Woodland and Norris Ben
nett of Presque Isle. Mrs. Bennett died
some Is years ago. For many years Mr.
Bennett was the faithful sexton of the
cemetery in Presque Isle where his re-
| mains were inferred.
