Not until Bevins had recounted the tale of the

OBITUARY.
CARRIE H. SELLERS.

CARhlE II. sELLEnos
Carrie H., daughter of George L. and
Eva M. Sellers, formerly of Penobscot,
died at her home with her mother in Els
worth Saturday evening, after an opera
tion for tumor, aged nineteen years.
Death came with a suddenness which
was shock to her many friends. Though
she had been receiving medical treatment
for several months, she was not one to
complain, and even those daily associated
with her were not aware of her illness.
| Thursday night last her physician advised
her to go to Bangor for an examination by
X-ray. She worked as usual until noon
| Friday, and left for Bangor with her
mother. She was there advised that an
operation would be necessary, but that it
| would be slight. Even the physicians
were misled by her appearance of health
and spirits, and had no idea how far the
| disease had progressed.
Saturday afternoon, DR.. E. 7. Nealley, of
Bangor, assisted by Drs. Hagerthy and
Simonton, of Ellsworth, performed an
operation, and it was then found for the
first time how serious her condition was.
She rallied from the operation, but sank
gradually, and at o'clock passed quietly
away.
Carrie came to Ellsworth about three
years ago, and entered the high school.
She left the school in January last to enter
the office OF THE AMERICAN as q compost
tor, and remained there working until
the day before her death. A bright and
Industrious pupil, she soon became an
efficient member of the force, and her
happy disposition made her a favorite
with all.
Death, in any form, is an unpleasant
guest. When it comes in the twilight OF
life, severing family ties and friendships
of long standing, it brings sadness; when
it comes in the prime Of life, cutting down
one who can i'll be spared from the home
or from the community, it seems untimely,
but when it comes, as in this case, to one
just bursting into the flower of woman
hood, full of life and joyous spirits, it
startles while it saddens, and prompts a
feeling of helpless protest against the in
scrutable ways OF Providence.
Beside her parents, the deceased leaves
one brother-Leo NJ. Sellers, of Boston, and
sister-Mrs. NJ. A. Wardwell, Of Penob-
sect. A rother died in infancy.
The remains were taken to Penobscot
Monday. The funeral was at the Methodist
church at l p. m. Tuesday, Rev. c. H.
Bryant officiating. The service was sim
pie, consisting Of singing by Mrs. A. E.
Varnum, Mrs. B. Fl. Cushman and Ber-
nard Varnum, Miss Nina varnum, organ
list; scripture readings, comforting words
by the clergyman and prayer.
The floral offerings from relatives and
friends both in Penobscot and Ellsworth
well attested the love and esteem in which
she was held. An especially beautiful
piece was sent by the Ellsworth high
school.
Interment was in Bay View cemetery,
whittier long and sincerely sorrowing
procession followed the body, and wit
| messed it deposited in its final resting
place

Levi B. Joyce, the veteran lobster fish
erman of Atlantic, in a letter to the Ban
gor Commercial, refutes the statement
credited to Fish Commissioner Donohue,
OF Rockland, that ''the lobster fishermen
OF the Maine coast have more Holsters
than they know what to do with" ~ have
been catching Holsters for more than forty
years." says Mr.. Joyce, ''and / never
knew the year when Holsters were so
scarce on the Maine coast as they are the
present year. There are miles of fishing
grounds where there was good fishing up
to eight or ten years ago, and now there
isn't even snapper to be caught on these
grounds"

At $50 Lygonia lodge. Everett s. Mean )
master, Charles A. Dews, $. W., Andrew j.
Moor, j. W., exemplifed the Master Mason
degree in a fine manner and were highly
complimented by the visitors. The floor work
was somewhat different from that as used by
the lodges in the western part of the State,
but was none the less interesting. male
quartette from Esoteric lodge furnished
excellent music. The Masons of Ellsworth
are to be congratulated on the success attend
ing both the day and evening sessions.
