MORRILL,.
The funeral of Mr.. Silas Storer was held at
the church last Thursday P. NJ, Rev. A. E.
Luce of Belfast officiating, assisted by Rev. A.
M. Cox of Morrill, The services We're managed
by D. 0. Bowen, Esq The bearers were F. A.
Grey, Charles Brown, F. M. Adams, and George
Erskine. large delegation of Masons from
Phoenix Lodge, Belfast, was present, and with
the local Masons numbered about thirty. The
beautiful ritual of that ancient fraternity was
read at the grave by W. M. A. c. futile. The
perhaps made more so by the fact that all the
large audience were mourners, either by rela-
tionship or because in the forty-fve years the
deceased had lived with us all had learned to
love "Uncle Silas." The wealth of beautiful
| flowers placed around the casket by relatives
and friends indicated something of the esteem
in which he was held. Mr. Storer for the past
nearly thirty years had been constant attend
ant at our church, and his place in his Bible
class in the Sunday school was seldom vacant.
He was member of the M. E. church and ex-
emplified in his every day life the teachings Of
his Divine Master. A large pillow of flowers
at the head of the casket was marked "Hus-
band"; a large wreath of flowers and.ferns was
marked Gather; large and beautiful Harp"
from Ladies Aid and friends; an elegant pillow

party given by the Senior class of the High
school, consisting of music, drama, recitations,
ETC., was grand success. The stage was deco
rated with Jack O lanterns and when lighted
the designs of the several faces were ludicrous
and amusing. The candy booth did a good
business catering to those who have sweet
tooth. The gypsy tent was an attraction to
those who wanted their fortunes told. Each
one in the play did their part well and deserves
much credit After the play ice cream and
cake were served below, and social dance was
enioyed with music by Cunninghan's orchestra
