The remains of William Jackson, for
for interment Jan. 18th, in Mt, Repose Gem
etery The deceased was born in Mont
Vile and spent the greater part of his life IN
town, but about two years ago he went to
Watervile to live with his son, George b.
jackson, where he died Jan. 14th of pneu-
monia at the age of II years, months and
9 days. He was veteran Of the Civil War.
serving the greater part of the time in the
Signal Corps. For many years he had been
a cripple from Sciatic rheumatism. lis
lifelong occupation was that of a shoe
maker, beginning in the days when the
workman made his own pegs. He was a
man of exemplary character, honored and
respected by all who knew him. He leaves
a widow, two sons, daughter and two
brothers to mourn their loss. Mrs. f. S.
Hall of North Searsmont closed her year S
work in the Kingdom school Jan. 10th.
Great Improvement was in evidence over
the preceding terms, which goes to prove
that it is great waste of both the pupils
time and the towns money to change teach
ers every term, as is too often the practice.
1t is safe to say that the pupils made as
much progress in the term just closed as
in the two other terms of the year. Mrs.
Hall is teacher who is well trained and
most faithful in her work, and it is certain
ly for the interest of the school and town
that she be retained for another year. Mrs.
Hall was the recipient of many useful
presents, including handkerchiefs, station
cry, a gold mounted water set and other
useful articles. The school closed with an
exhibition which was far superior to the
one held at the close of the preceding
term. The pupils all did we'll and We're
more at ease than before, showing in this
case that additional training had not been
in vain. During the evening Mr.. Charles E.
Davis entertained at various times with his
photograph, and Mr.. Charles A. Boynton
