HERE AVID THERE ~ MAINE


the First Baptist church of Dexter.
Rev Rinaldo l.. Odds. pastor of the
church, is named in the will as its
executor. The inventory of the es-
tate it is understood, will show it to
be valued at about 10000 Mrs.
Dolloff who was the widow of Daniel
Dolloff was a member of the Baptist
church and was an attendant upon its
services until i'll health confined her TO
her home. The fact of her willing
her entire property to the church was
great surprise both to her friends
and to the church people who, it is
understood, had no intimaton of her
bequest until the will was opened and
read. The Doloff property was ac-
cumulated by hard work and frugal
living. Mr. Dolloff for many years
was employed in Dexter Wooden mills
as a wool sorter while Mrs. Dolloff in
her younger days was an expert weav-
err and worked in the wooden mills.
The near relatives of the deceased are
brother, Rev. Orrin S. French of
Fort Fairfield, sister, Mrs. Jacob
Mason of Frenchs Mills and a niece,
Mrs Melvin Shaw of Dexter.
