Mrs. Salome Sellers, at Sunset. "Aunt
Salome, !" as she was always called, died at
the age OF 106 years. She was one of the
bestowed persons in tbis town, and this

OF Abel lIosmer, a native OF Deer Isle, but
now OF Oakland, CAL, and, as he has said,
IL q tribate from the shores OF two oceans,
the Atlantic and the Pacific. The tablet,
suitably inscribed, is Of granite from the
Raymond granite quarries in Madeira
county, CAL, OF which Mr.. Hosmer is one
OF the owners and operators. The base,
which supports it, is OF granite from
China, and the foundation stone in which
It will be set will be granite taken from q
quarry near Aunt Salome's birthplace
and girihood home at Stonington. The
whole, when placed, will be about five feet
in height. Mrs. Sellers was the daughter
OF Edmund Sylvester, one OF the original
:ettlers OF Deer Isle, who came here about
l7SS. She was born Oct. Is, 1900, and died
on Jan. 8, 1903. She was descendant of
Mayfiower Pilgrims, and real Daughter
