afternoon, September Sd, having been
/ in poor health during the past year
Mr.. Fairbrother was born in Skowhe-
gan May 4th. 1899, being the fifth OF
family of eight children of whom
seven were boys. Mr. Fairbrother was
married three times. his first wife be-
ing Mehitable Littlefield, the second

f. Johnson of Readfeld. Two chill
dren were born of the second mar
riage, Charles, who died in 1896. and

He was engaged in business of various
kinds in different sections of the state
before coming to North Arson in 1882
to fill the position as Superintendent
of the Shank Factory, a position which
he held until the removal of the fac
tory to Bingham several years ago.
Mr. Fairbrother was a man of pro-
gressive ideas and public spirited man
in every sense, always looking for the

this village the best fire protection

had. On several occasions the village
was saved from obstruction by fire by
this system. His enterprise and fore
thought made him valuable man in
this community. He was a member
of Northern Star Lodge of Masons of
this village, and a member of Maine
Lodge No. l. of Odd Fellows of Port
land The funeral was held Sunday,
at l o'clock, at his late residence under
