ert Porter. Following was the big ship
Nancy Pendleton, built in Belfast in 1871; then

famous ship William H. Conner, 1900 tons,
built at Sears port in IT, and his last command
was the Newburyport-built ship Mary L. Cush-
ing. With the decline in American shipping
Capt. Pendleton decided to retire rather than
take up steam, as did many other Searsport
masters. and Is years ago he quit the sea to
spend the remainder of his life in his homeport
He had been pr ointment in the affairs of the
town;served a number of terms on the board of
selectmen and on the school committee and re-
presented the Searsport class in the legisla-
ture of 1913-19l4. At the time of his death he

zsns, held in the highest esteem. respect and
confidence by all and his passing will be keenly
