the relatives of Henry Trip who lives
IN Lisbon Falls that they desire to take
the remains of the old man from the
grave on Bush Island and carry them
TO Lisbon Falls for burial. Mr.. Tripp
was a strange old character Years
ago ne appeared along the coast and
alter time took up his residence on
Bush Island and erected a habitation
there Here he continued to live UP
10 the time of his death some three
years ago. He sold some clans and
Holsters to the cottage people on the
New Meadows and received many small
gifts of money from people who visit
ed the island to hear him relate some
OF the wonderful stories which he could
tell. When he died. as no relatives
claimed the body, it was buried in a
grave dug on the island where he lived
so long. Mr.. Trip had told some pec-
pie that he once lived in Lisbon Falls
but upon inquiry nothing was learned
concerning his people. 1t is probable
that Mr. Beal will find way of giving
the relatives the necessary permission
to remove the body as they desire
