"WM B. SAWYER; AN APPRECIATION" Editor
journal: Will you allow former pastor Of the
Congregational church in Searsport to say a
word of appreciation of the late William Bah
bage Sawyer, whose obituary notice appears in
your issue of September 22nd? Perhaps l can
speak the word as well as any as have known
him for over twenty four years, nearly fifteen
of them as his pastor, in intimate association
with him as an active member of my church,
and personal friend. Your notice recalls his
brave life as soldier, regarding which he was
so modest and nom boastful that few ever
knew, probably, how completely his active
campaigning covered the most heroic events
of the war, nor how courageously he partici-
pated in them all. But it fails to recall also
his equally modest but as faithful and devoted
services for his church and town. For many
years Mr.. Sawyer served the Congregational
church as Sunday school superintendent, and
later as deacon, holding both offices part of the
time He was also ianitor for several wears.
