BRINGING UP THE 18TH
CHILD
Never Had Any of Their Own. Such
Is the Record of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
ander Easier.

Mr.. and Mrs Alexander Easier who
removed here from Arrostook Co., and
are located at the DR. Mann's house
on North street, have done much for
the communities in which they have
lived toward caring for needy chill
dren. 1t has been their rather unique
record to act the part of parents to
rs children although they have never
had any of their own.
Being of a kindly disposition. and
both Mr.. Easier and his estimable wife
being fond of children, they decided to
adopt some, to be treated as their own.
AS result one child after another
was taken in to their home until at
present they are bringing up their 2Sth
child. This child is years of age,
while their oldest one if living, would
be about 80 years old.
AS the children matured and left the
home roof, other needy ones were sub
stituted in their places. Sometimes
whole families of children would be
taken in by the Easlers and the short
est stay any of them have ever made
was one year, while some have been
taken in infancy and remained until
Fl years of age. Quite number of
this large family took the name of
Easier but only one was legally adopt
ed. All of them received a common
school education and one boy was
sent to college. The sexes were about
equally divided, but in his interview
MIR. Easier stated that he thought on
the whole the girls were more appre-
ciative of their home than the boys.
OF this large family the majority of
them live in Maine, although some of
them live in New Brunswick and some
are dead. Most of the boys have fol-
lowed farming as a profession, but
there Is included in the list one mer-
chant.
Mr.. Easier has reached the age of
73 years but seems to be in good
health. He is an interesting converse
tionalist and talks most enterainly
about his foster children. He is a ma
