In Memorian.
Last year we recorded the death of
three laymen who had long been associat-
ed with the work Of the organization.
This year we had to report the loss of
two men; one minister and one layman
who have been closely associated with
the work of the conference and society.
The first to leave US was Rev. Jesse
Hill. D. D., pastor of Williston church,
Portland. In 1908 he was elected a trus-
tee of the Maine Missionary Society,
having filled a similar position in
Ohio. and was one of the committee ap-
pointed to draw up the new constitution
by which the society and State confer
ence were made one. He was elected a
director OF the reorganized body at the
first and was vice president in 1912, con-
tinuing until May, 1914.
The death of Mr.. Galen C.. Moses of
Bath occurred after the beginning of
the new business year of 1876, which
is April LIST. But news of it came be-
fore this report was printed and 1t is we'll
to speak Of it now. Mr.. Moses had been
associated with the work of the denoni-
nation for many years. being by far the
Oldest in point of service of any one
connected with the management, with
the exception of Mr.. John E. Warren Of
Cumberland Mills. Mr.. Moses at the
time of his death was both a director and
q trustee. His first connection with the

Byron French, q selectman of Som
erville, was recalled to the stand and
told Of the confession Mrs. Eugenia
Hisler made to him and his uncle, Ed

mitted over the same objections on
the part Of Mr.. Halpen.
Byron French said that the first
thing Mrs. Hisler said when he
stepped inside the door, and before
any question was asked, II sent for
you and I'm going to tell you the
truth. I killed my husband" He ask

said she was playing on the organ some
piece her husband had asked her to

Then she said he went back in the
kitchen and took OFF his rubbers and
