The rem aims of Lewellyn Wood, who died
in Valhalla, N Y, January 31st were brought
to Belfast last Friday and placed in the re-
ceiving tomb in Grove cemetery. He was
born in Belfast, February IA, 1856, the son of
the late Joseph Mark and Mary Elizabeth
Wood He was fond of manly sports and was
one of Belfast's early base ball players, usual
ly playing at third base on the Pastimes, the
crack team of his day. He married Miss Mary
Patterson of this city, who with two sons and
two daughters survive: Alphonso, Ethel NJ,
ers also survive him-Freeman M. of Bath
and Fred of Skowhegan, who with his son
Alphonso, accompanied the remains to Belfast.
When but fourteen years of age Mr. Wood
learned the marble and stone cutters trade
and was a very skilful workman and one of
untlring industry, working early and late
without thought of himself, having always in
view the comfort and happiness of his family.
For some years he was member of the firm
of Harrison, Wood & Co.. marble and granite
workers, Bridge street. After the death of
Mr.. Harrison the firm became Wood & Heal
Later, after bravely struggling for years with
i'll health, Mr.. Wood sold his interest to his
partner, Mr.. A. S. Heal, and in October, 1905
with his family moved to Valhalla to make his
home with his son Alphonso, who was en-
ployed in civil engineering in New York city
His health improved steadily until the winter
of 1910, when he had quite a severe attack
The physicians diagnosed the case as asthma
with heart and lung complications He partial
ly recovered and when warm weather came in
1910 was nearly as well as in the previous sum-
mer. When cold weather came this winter his
breathing was greatly affected by the least ex-
ertion. He gradually grew worse and was con-
fined to his bed January Both. On January 3lst
he died quietly, about 7.15 p. m. Throughout
his prolonged illness he suffered everything,
but bore it with patience that commanded the
respect and admiration of family and friends.
The family had lived for number of years at
60 Miller street, but Mr.. Wood realized his
ambition when he built for their home the
modern residence on Cedar street now occu-
pied by Fred R. Poor. 1t was hard for him to
leave this home, and the city he loved SO we'll
and in leaving he said that he hoped TO
recover and return to Belfast A good
man in every sense of the word a devot-
ed husband, indulgent father, true brother,
and firm friend, an honest business man and
held dear by all who knew him. The funeral
was held February End at his late home in
Valhalla.

There was but one contested hearing before
the committee sea and shore fisheries Tues.
day afternoon. W. A. Kicker, first selectman
of the town of Castine, opposed the granting
of the petition of Paul T. Small of Stonington
for permission to erect weir in the tide wat
ers of Castine harbor. Mr.. Kicker appeared
not only for Castine but for Brooksville and
for Penobscot as well. He said that the weir
would be directly in the way of shipping and
that it would prevent the fish from running up
the Bagaduce river. The weir location sought
by Mr.. Small is on the town line between Cas-
tine and Brooksville, Mr.. Kicker said, and the
permission of the selectmen of those towns
would have to be obtained before it could be
built, even if the legislature should act favor
ably upon the petition. He did not think that
they were likely to, because they had turned
down similar applications in the past.

along the Maine shore be better protected,
have taken unique way to appeal to the

each member found on his desk clean white

trays and will doubtless last longer than all the
printed matter that could have been distribut-
