March ID, 1915 For forty five years this couple
| had travelled lifes uneven road together,
Sharing each others SORROWS, sharing each
others joys" Never were man and wife more
devoted to their home, nor truer to their
friends; and never was there lack of true hos

years of their lives. and where they received
every care and attention that loving hands and
hearts could offer, Mr.. Flint was man of

ment, but of an unobtrusive manner. never
trying to force his opinions where they were
unsought. For many years he served as a
member of the board of selectmen of the town
of Thorndike, much: of the time as chair
man of the board, and always to the sat-
isfaction of the town. About twenty

fast, where he entered the employ of Math.

he was forced to retire from further labor, and
wi tn his wife went to live with their son and
family. He is survived by one son, Burt W.

Louisa Flint Keen, widow of the late N.
Keen of Belfast, Me-, and by one brother, Isaac

the second daughter of Isaac and Eunice Whit
aker, and when a child moved with her parents
from Albion to Thorndike, Me, Mrs. Flint was
typical New England farmers wife in that
she lived for her family and friends-for their
comfort and pleasure-for she loved them all.
Now that she has passed to that beautiful life
beyond" the kind words and deeds of her active
life are more fully appreciated by the recipi-
ents of her wealth of intellect and love- She
is survived by one son. B. w. Flint by two
sisters, Mrs, Myra C. Lang of Bowdoinham,
Me. and Mrs. Frank E. Clark of Citypoint, Me-,
