The Late William II. Clearwater.

In the death of William II. Clearwa-
ter, which occurred very suddenly,
Thursday evening. Hallowell loses the
second of its older and more prominent
citizens within a period of seven days.
Although he had lead very quiet life
for the past rs years, his business be-
fore that time had been such as to
place him among the ranks of the
men affiliated with the commercial in
terests of the city. Even at the time
of his death. however he was known
throughout the city as man who
was responsible. in part, for the rapid
growth that Hallowell had in it's earlier
days
William Henry Clearwater was born
in Highland. Ulster county. New York.
Dec. q. 1910, the son of Jacob |. and
Hannah (EccarD Clearwater. He re-
received his earlier education in the
schecls of Highland and Poughkeepsie
and later was graduate of Clanbert
University. In 1864, he was married to
Mary r.. Cole, daughter of Henry Gill
bert and Esther Pope Cole of Man
chester, Me-, where he settled, forming
a partnership with Mr.. Cole in the
manufacture of print blocks, used in
the production of floor oilcloths. In 1867,
the business was moved to Hallowell.
where, two years later, the senior
member of the firm died. Subsequently,
the business was continued by Mr..
Clearwater. As the business went on.
he employed number of men, and, as
the term was, cut or to put 1t more
definitely, manufacture blocks for the
Sampson oilcloth plants of Hallowell
and Staten Island, n. Y, and later for
concerns located in Massachusetts and
Philadelphia. 1t may be said here that
the business of cutting" blocks is
practically extinct at the present time.
as the blocks are now mostly made of
metal instead of wood. The methods
then called for the utmost accuracy,
as the different patterns were cut by
hand, on the fact of a wood base.
These bases were constructed by
George Fuller's Sons, on specially pat
ented machines Of their own invention.
Block-cutting, in those days, was an
interesting and profitable industry. or
the many men directly associated with
Mr.. Clearwater in those years through
his connection with oilcloth manufae-
turing, but very few-probably less
than dozen-are living, today. In
1889, on account of ill health, he re-
tired from business and at no time
since has been actively engaged.
To Mr. and Mrs. Clearwater were
born two children. Sally M. and II. p.
Clearwater, who both reside in Halo
well. Mrs. Clearwater died in 1872.
In 1876 he married Belle c. Haines
of Eallowel who died in February,
1912 To them was born a daughter,
now Mrs Richard Parry of Milwaukee,
Wis. Mr. Clearwater is also survived
| by a sister, Mrs. William Tophiield OF
New York City. and a brother, Melvin
| +. Clearwater of Ravena, n. Y. Funer-
al services will be held from his late
residence on Grove street, Sunday art
ernoon. Rev. F. V. Stanley will ofiici-
ate. Services will be private.

Schedule for -Four Team Series of Games to

The Cavalier county base ball league
completed it's organization at meeting
held at the Commercial club rooms last
Saturday afternoon and named w. f.
Hannum, of Clyde, as the leagues presi-
dent and Chas. S. Robertson, of this
city, as secretary and treasurer. The
opening league games of the season are
scheduled for Memorial Day, the Both
inst, and 1t is planned to have the
penant winning games at the close Of
the season, played by the teams which
finish at the top of the per centage
column, pulled off here in Langdon dur
ing the county fair, which will be held
August 9Th, 9Th and 7th. Langdon
Munich, Clyde and Nekoma enter the
league with John Boyd, P. J. Anthony,
J ohm Morgan and o. Waldon as mem
bers Of the leagues executive committee
from those towns. Milton and Wales
were not represented at the meeting and
hold back from entering into the
leagues agreement which provides for
each team being allowed to place two
salaried players in it's line up This
was learned when the two towns were
heard from during the progress OF the
meeting, over the long distance tele-
phone. Later both haye been heard
from as wanting to enter the league
This would necessitate the abandoning
of the four team schedule of games ar.
ranged for at the meeting and the lay
ing out OF six team schedula. The
formation of the league with six teams
Is thought. however. to he likely to make
the series of much greater general IN
terest and the wish of Wales and Milton
to have the matter reconsidered is likely
to be acted upon favorably.
