Mr.. David Nye, aged 80 years and 10 months,
passed away October 231 at his home in Mon
roe village. lIr. Nye was born in Union,
Maine, in 1881 and was the son of David and
Carolyn Gilmore Nye. His father died in his
infancy leaving the wife and one child who
went to the home of her father, Col. Gilmore,
in Newburg. When very young Mr.. Nye be-
gan to make his own way in the world and
when of age learned the carpenters trade,
which he followed for many years. In 1854 he
married Jane Nealley, by whom he had two
children, Frank A. Nye of Searsport and Mrs.
Mary j. Haley of Monroe. The daughter
cared for him during his illness. The first
years of his married life he lived in Old Town.
and then moved to Monroe, where he lived
until his death. Several years ago he went
into the undertaking business in Monroe and
followed it for twenty-five years and had
nearly all the practice of the adjoining towns.
His quiet, unassuming manner when called to a
home of a deceased won him many friends
who will ever remember him for his sympathy
and courtesy on such occasions. Mr.. Nye was
good citizen. He had no enemies; he had
his own ideas but never held an argument
with those who opposed him. Honest in all of
his dealings and highly respected by his fel-
low-citizens, he will be much missed in the
village, where he was seen daily upon the
street and ever had pleasant word of greet
ing for all whom he met. About year ago he
began to fail in health. He rallied during the
