Mr.. Grant was born, Feb. IS, 1925,
in Hallowell, one of six children. The
elder Grant was a ship builder and
when William was about is years of
age, he went to sea on his fathers good
ship, the Meteor and visited many
European ports. Returning home from
this trip, and ut the age of 20, Will
liam began business as a ship chanG-
Ter on his own account but later gave
his time to his fathers business and
when % years old he married Miss
BetSey l.. JoSselyn of Augusta. Mrs.
Grant died Il year after her wedding
day, leaving her husband with an in
fant son.
Shortly after his bereavement, Mr..
Grant built q house in this city, now
known as the Isaac Carr house where
he lived for about 10 years, retaining
his interest in the old Grant shipyar1
founded many years before by his
grandfather, Peter Grant. After the
death of his father, MI. Grant and mis-
brOther-in-law, George Bacon operated
the business until it became less profit
able, and the last ship to be built in
the yard was the Samuel c. Grant,"
a craft of 100 tons.
Shortly after this time. and in the
year 1859 Mr.. Grant went to Washing
ton and there contracted with the
United States government to deliver
$50, 900 bushels of corn to Fort Leaven-
worth and Nebraska City, destined for
the army in Utah, 10 be transported
there by wagon trains. The undertake
ing promised to be a difficult one to
fulfill. and Mr.. Grant returned from
Washington and closed cut his buSi-
ness interests in Gardiner. resigning as
pre- sident of the Gardiner Bank, and
left for Nebraska City to personally
superintend the delivery of the corn.
A year later Mr.. Grant contracted
with the government to supply goods
and to furnish transportation required
by the forts and military detachment;
in Arizona and on the desOlate great
American desert Mr.. Grant met with
many adventures. and in several in
stances he came into conflict with the
Indians, all of whom turned their
hand against the white man, be he SOL
dier or citizen.
Through many vicissitudes, and on
account of the beginning of the Rebel
lion, Mr.. Grant lost his great amount Of
property in Arizona, and left him with
out his fortune and with nothing but
his claim against the government which
dragged Wearily over a period of years
and came to 4 tardy settlement in 1895
when Mr.. Grant received from the
United States treasury the sum Of S7S.-
600 One-half the original amount of his
claim. Mr.. Grant was interested in 4
rumbcr of ventures aftc.' the close of
the war extending from coast to coast,
and some were successful and others
We're not.
About years ago, Mr.. Grant pur-
{ thascd the Capt. Abraham Rich farm
il. Farm gdale, and since then he lived
there with his son and daughter. a
quiet. retired life. He was loved and
i'll be sincerely mourncd by all who
new him. The funeral will be held ut

The members of the Winthrop base
ball club will report here for practice
today. Manager Gage has arranged for
a practice game to be played on the To-
cal diamond, Saturday afternoon, with
the North Ends of Waterville. This
team has not been defeated, this sea
son, and will probably make it interest
ing for the Winthrops. There should be
a large attendance at this game, as all
are anxious to see how the new team
will show up. OF course there has been
no practice as a team at this writing,
but each individual has played on diff
ferent teams, this season, and it is
hoped that the two days preliminary
practice together before Saturdays
game will put the boys into condition
to do themselves credit.
