The death of Mrs. Caroline r.
(Wilbur) Pheland, widow of Joseph
ii. Pheland. occurred Saturday at her
home on Elm St, following an ill
ness with pneumonia. The deceased
was about 81 years of age and for a
long period had resided in this yicin
lty. AT an early age she married
the gentleman already referred to and
In the earlier years of their life the
couple lived in Massachusetts. Dur
ing the days when Lothrop's tannery
was in existence. the husband was
employed there and the family lived
nearby, but for long time they re-
sided upon small farm somewhat
outside the village limits on the
Academy st. extension. Mr.. Pheland
died nearly five years ago and fol-
lowing his death the widow sold her
home and moved to the upper tene-
ment in the Haley house where the
end came. The deceasd was prob
ably the Oldest living member of the
First Baptist Church and was greatly
beloved by the members of that par
ish and the townspeople as well be-
cause of her kindly nature and gen.
crosby or heart. Her home was a
delight to children and a most pleas
urable companion she proved for the
young people of the community of
whom she was exceedingly fond. Flu
neral ceremonies were held Tuesday
from the First Baptist Church, the
temple where she had for so long
been worshipper. Mrs. Pheland
was the mother of five children, one
of whom Mrs. Lenora Hobbs of Can
ton survives. This lady arrived a
short time prior to her mothers de

Since the Arson Water District, So
called, was organized there has been
much discussion about Hancock pond
and big Embden pond. their length,
width, area. etc, and there has been
various opinions expressed in regard
to these matters. It was stated pub
licly in the town meeting last Satur-
day that Hancock pond was three
miles long Men who have lived near
its shores for years and have seen it
in all seasons of the year say that it
is between one and two miles. Wells
survey in the water Power of Maine"
published some years ago, says that
Hancock pond is one and one-half
miles wide and has an area of one
square mile. The same authority
says that big Embden pond is four
miles long and has an area of three
and one-half square miles. Before
Hancock is selected for the reservoir
to feed this pipe line, if the scheme
ever goes through. it would be a
pretty good idea TO know with GER
tainty, without any guess work, how
much water this pond furnishes in a
severe drouth and the quantity of the
water at such a time.

The dance given last Friday eve
ming by the Cosmos Club, was huge
success. It was the first affair of the
kind given in the new Masonic TEN
pie, and large crowd was in attend
ance. The hall is an ideal place for
a dance. There is plenty of room in
the parlors for resting, making it .un-
necessary to have chairs around the
wall in the dance hall. The music Fri.
day evening was furnished by Moore's
Saxaphone Orchestra, and was great
ly enjoyed. The decorations were
very simple. Streamers of purple and
gold crepe paper were hung from the
windows and door ways.
Between sixty-five and seventy cou-
pies were in attendance.
