OBITUARY.

Seven of the elderly citizens of Northnort
have received the call to return to the Giver
of life during the past few months and among
them was our highly respected and honored
townsman, Charles 7. Knights, to whose mem
ory this simple tribute is paid. He was born
in Northport, Sept. 26. 1912. son of the late
David and Harriet Knights, and had reached
his 74th year. He was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Pauline Cummings of
Northport, and his second, Miss Elizabeth
Drinkwater of Lincolnville. Of the latter
union three children were born, a son and two
daughters: Louis A.; Pauline, who died when
quite young. and Helen, wife of Leroy Hurd of
Lincolnville. Mr.. Knights was taken ill when
visiting his daughter. and despite the best
medical aid and care he gradually failed until
he passed away after six weeks of patient suf-
fering. Rev S. E. FrOhock OF Camden offici-
ated at the funeral, speaking impressively of
the deceased and consolingly to the bereaved.
The surviving wife can find consolation in the
thought that Death has only deprived her for
time of the companionship of one whose loss
she so deeply feels, and that ere long, when
She too. is called to come up higher. the COM
panion of her youth and of her declining years
will lovingly greet her and abide with her for
ever in the home of the living The son and
daughter are mforted by the knowledge
that they lovingly and tenderly administered
to their fathers every want, and yet,although
they will miss the familiar face and hear no
longer the welcome voice, they are sustained
and encouraged by the beautiful thought that
all is we'll with him. Mr. Knights vet |
eran of the 26th Maine Regiment and faithful |
ly served his allotted time. He was men,
ber of Thomas H. Marshall Post of Belfast |
and of Seaside Grange. For several terms he
served as a member of the board of selectmen
with credit to himself and honor to the town
man universally liked, winning the esteem
of all. his name will be long remembered as
that of man who well filled his part in life |
and died deeply regretted by every citizen Of
his native town. G.

CommodiouS Quarters in East
Sixtieth Street Soon To
Be Ready

A modest little ceremony which took
place in East Sixtieth Street yesterday
afternoon, in the heart Of what is COM
ing to be known as New Clubland,'
marked an important stage in the his
tory Of the Grolier Club. IL accom-
panied the laying of the cornerstone Of
the new building in which this organ
ization will next year make its home.
Several years ago the council Of the
club realized that with the growth OF
its unique library and other collections
it was scarcely safe to continue to
house them in the building at 20 East
Thirtv-second Street, which once seemed
so adequate 10 the purpose. In 1914 1t
was decided TO sell those premises
which the club continues to occupy for
the present. and TO seek new site for
"a moro commodious clubhouse. This
was found at 81 and 40 East Sixtieth
street. then occupied by two private
dwellings. The latter have been re-
moved and the new house is rapidly
rising in their place.
The movement for a new clubhouse
took definite form under the presidency
of Edward G. Kennedy and has reached
