AGED SM|THF|ELO COU,
PIE DIED SAME DAY
Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Sawyer Both Sue
cumb to Pneumonia. Bodies Inferred
in Same Grave.

SMITHFIELD, March "a singular
coincidence was the passing away of
Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Sawyer, the same
day, February 27, in Smithfield of
pneumonia. Mr.. Sawyer was born in
Starks, April 2, 1926, the son of Otis
and Mahala Ueathers) Sawyer. When
a young man he learned the tanners
trade in New Sharon, Me. In 1854 he
and his brother, Alden, erected tan
merry in Smithfield working at that
business a number of years. Later
he and Asa Patee went to California,
where they were engaged in mining.
Mr. Sawyer returned home in the year
1859 and July 1st, 1860 was married
to Miss Maria C. Patee, who was born
in Mercer, Dec. IS, 1886. daughter of
Asa and Clarissa Neathers) Patee.
Mr Sawyer has always been a Re
publican and was prominent in town
affairs, having held the office of Sc
lectman for nine years. He also rep
resented his district twice in the Leg
islature.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sawyer have lived
long and useful lives in Smithfield
and were loved and respected by all
with whom they were associated
Their last days were calm and peace
full and without suffering they passed
out as though guarded by an invisible
power to save them from pain.
Two sons were born to them: Charles,
who died in Medfield, Mass, Sept. %,
1913 and Harvey L., who is business
man in Smithfeld The double funer-
al services were held at their home
Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev
w. c. Stetson of Waterville and they
were laid to rest in one grave in the
village cemetery. This aged couple
will be greatly missed in the commu-
nifty where their advice and kind
words were sought after for so long
time.

Former Resident Dead

Many old acquaintances in SkoWhe-
gan will doubtless be shocked and
grieved to learn of the death of John
W. Bailey, formerly of Skowhegan.
The funeral and burial took place
Monday afternoon at Winthrop Cen
ter. His age was II years and 6
months. For about six years Mr.
Bailey resided in Skowhegan, having
been superintendent of the Oil Cloth
Factory here, and it has been said
that during that time he was ever en-
deavoring to help those less fortunate
than himself. Beside a widow, MI.
Bailey is survived by one son, Clifton
j. Bailey of Portland, and three grand
children, John, Robert E. and Betty

important position which he held here

came a travelling salesman. He has

TEMPERATURE RISING.
At Good Will Farms. Two Hundred
and Twenty-Five Pupils in the
Schools There.

HINCKLEY, March 4. 19l4.-The
thermometer in the Good viii Farm
office made sudden change today when
the mercury shot up from $4,000 pre-
viously reported, to $121.0OO which
puts the total within 81 900 of the half
way mark This gift of $25 600 when
paid. is to be divided into scholarships
of $4,000 each, the interest to be used
annually for the benefit of deserving
girls. When Supervisor Hinckley ac-
cepted the offer of $25 900 if he would
raise $250.000 for development and
endowment at Good Will, it was an
nounced that the fund could grow in
three days, viz: Cash payments of
$1,000 upwards; approved securities,
or pledges, to be paid of course at
some definite time. OF the amounts
announced, $4,000 will go into a much
needed administration building and
its up-keep fund; 10000 will go into
girls home; $4,000 goes to endow-
ment of the girls work, the interest
to be used annually for the benefit of
fifteen deserving girls; the rest is for
endowment of the boys department.
Anyone who sees the thermometer in
the Good will office is impressed with
the long climb yet before the mercury
reaches the $25O,000 mark. but the
supervisor believes that the mark
ought to be reached before June first
and if it is, he will have an additional
$25 900 to turn over to the Good VIII
Home Association. There are two hun
dred and twenty-five pupils in the
Good Will schools.

SKOWHEGAN'S HORSE DAY WITH PARADE
AND RACES POSTPONED
Event will Take Place Thursday, March 18th
Much Enthusiasm Being Expressed

Not until the last hour on Tuesday
last did the committee give up hope
that the parade and race program OF
Horse Day could be carried out. Not
withstanding the unfavorable wealth
er, and practically impossible roads,
horses were driven here from points
as far distant as Bangor. While the
program for the day was given up
those who had their speedy animals
in town were bound not to loose all
the sport which had been planned for
and the crowd stood in the rain on
Water Street for several hours during
which some very speedy trials were
seen All the horse buyers who had
announced their intention to be here,
came by train, most of them the day
before, and some who were not eX-
pected came on the forenoon train on
Tuesday. These gentlemen all agree
that Skowhegan is the liylest horse
center of New England at the present
time
1t is largely through the enthusiasm
of the horsemen, both buyers and
owners. that the committee finally de-
cided to postpone the event for one
week only. instead of passing it over
to next year. II was at first thought
advisable to either set the date in June
or to postpone it until next winter,
but there was such universal sent-
ment fayoring next week that Thurs
day, March Il. was then and there de-
cidod upon. Horses whose entries did
not appear in the list herewith, may
be entered for next week. Full par
ticulars should be sent by early mail,
