OLDEST GRANGER IN WORLD

Born in the first frame dwelling, in
the town of Hope, Me-, Abner Dunton,
who on August / celebrated the 1O2d
anniversary of his birth, has lived all
his life on the same farm, although the
changing of boundaries has placed the
farm in two states, three counties, one
town and one plantation. Not only
does Mr. Dunton enjoy this rare dis
tinction. but he also believes he is the
oldest person in New England. De-
spite his extreme age, Mr.. Dunton en-
Joys the best of health, has full pos
session of all his mental faculties and
takes the keenest interest in men and
things of the present.
Abner Dunton was born in Hope,
then known as the plantation OF Bar
rettson, August 1, 1907, and during MS
boyhood was apprenticed to the trade
of shoemaker. He worked at that
trade until he was 60 years old, and
while so engaged he also found time
to teach IA terms of school, In 1881
he was elected town clerk and served
in that capacity for 20 years. For IL
wears he also was selectman In
1871 and 1914 he represented the town
in the Legislature. Before Hope was
transferred from Waldo to Knox coun-
ty. Mr.. Dunton served as county COM
missioner six years and had complete
supervision of the erection OF the
county court house at Belfast. In 1869
Mr.. Dunton was elected county COM
