OBITUARY. On Friday afternoon,
July 3, 1908, one of Stockton's highly
respected citizens, Mr.. Henry S. Over
lock, passed to the higher life, after an
illness of several years, from that In
sidious ailment, Bright's disease OF the
kidneys. Some weeks ago severe at
tack of alarming features caused great
anxiety to his family; but the system
Welding to medical treatment he rallied
sufficiently to again be upon our streets
and his relatives were greatly encour-
aged. But the oyertaXed system sud-
denly succumbed to the fatal attack
after day of apparently almost nat
ural vigor, the end coming with be.
numbing sWiftness to the devoted
wife watching at his bedside. Mr.. 0.
was born IN Prospect now Stockton
Springs January so, 1888, one of the
large family of Mr.. and Mrs. God
frey Overlook. In early life he learn
ed house carpentry, and was an eff
fcient workman. October 30, 1885, |
he married Miss Josephine Staples,
daughter of MI and Mrs. Cornelius |
Staples, and began housekeeping in
this village. To this congenial union |
three children-tWo sons and daugh- |
ter-were given, all surviving to mourn |
the loss of an earnestly devoted father !
In the strenuous days of Americas |
Civil War he, with untiinching patriot
ism, enlisted August, 1862, in Co. X.
of the 10th Regiment, Maine Vol |
unteer Militia, and served through |
those months of active service as only |
the conscientiously brave can serve |
noble cause. In August, 1863, he
moved his family to Somerville, |
turn to Stockton in 1891. During their |
residence i'll Massachusetts Mr.. and |
Mrs. Overlook united with the Perkins |
street Baptist church of Somerville, |
and have retained their connection |
with that body of worshipers, among |
whom they were highly esteemed CO.
workers. In 1881 Mr. Overlook became |
an agent for the Fairbanks Scales Co.,
travelling and experimenting the cree
ton of their machines in various parts |
of New England for II years, until fail |
ing health compelled him to resign, de-
voting himself thereafter to the care |
of his home and garden. Before re-
turning to Maine, in 1884, he made a |
trip to California, thinking he might |
settle there, but was disappointed in |
the country and after two months |
turned homeward. Always man of
strict honesty, sobriety and real char
acter, true husband, devoted parent |
and kind neighbor, the entire commu-
nifty joins with his stricken wife and |
children-Hartley Overlook and family |
of Somerville, Mass, Edward Overlook |
and Miss Emily S. Overlook of this viii
lage-in their mourning for an estima |
BILE companion, father and citizen. The
funeral was held Sunday at his resi-
dence on Church street, Rev. c. H.
Mckinney, pastor of the Congrega-
tionalist parish of Searsport, attend
ing. Many beautiful floral tributes at
tested the sympathy of neighbors for
the sorrowing family, and their esteem
for the deceased friend. We know the
loss belongs to earth; his is the gain.
