William Farrow, the veteran sailmaker,
died at his home on Masonic street, Rock
land, July 18th, lacking but few months
of having attained his 9lSt birthday. He
had been in feeble health for some time,
but Sunday there was nothing about his
condition to foretell that the end was so
near. 1t was sudden collapse, and ap-
parently painless death. Mr. Farrow
was born in Islesboro Oct. Is, 1926, son
of William and Charity (Coombs) Far
row. When he was lad of eight the
family moved across the bay to Belfast.
where he resided until his fathers death
in 1870. His mother died year later,
and for two or three years the boy went
to sea as cook on coasting and fishing
vessels. At Is he was skipper of 40
ton fishing craft. At II he shipped for
Southern voyage, receiving $40 month

as it had to his ancestors, and he engaged
with his brother-in-law, A. c. Tibbetts
for three years, at $40, to learn the sail
making trade. Later he became part
ner in the business, which proved to be
his life's vocation. The loft was located
on Tillson wharf, and out of it went some
of the finest suits of sails ever broken out
on coasting vessel. The only Interrupt
| ton to his long service at sail-making,
was in 1872, when he was beset by the
| California fever He sold out his inter
est in the sail-making business and with
eight others started for California. They
reached New York only to find that the
passage tickets were sold six months
ahead. Mr.. Farrow returned, and re-en-
| gagged in the sail-making trade, from
which he retired some years ago Mr..
FarroW served two years in the City
Government, but "never had any poll
tics, as he often expressed it. He vot-
ed for John c. Fremont for President,
and since. that time confessed himself a
''mugwump," which he construed as
meaning that he always voted for the
best candidates, regardless of party tick
ct. He was greatly interested in his Ma
sonic street home, which was one of the
oldest in that section, and in his little or
chard. He was one of the staunchest
advocates of Masonry, and at the time of
his death was the oldest past master of
Rockland Lodge He belonged to several
other branches of Masonry, and was the
oldest Commandery Mason in the State
Mr.. Farrow is survived by his aged wife,
formerly Marcia O. Spear, by one daugh-
ter, Mrs. William H. Kittredge; and by

Mrs Helen Pendleton, both of Rockland
