OBITUARY.
CAPT. JOHN o. ADAMS.

Capt. John @. Adams, lifelong resi-
dent of Ellsworth and one of the few re-
manning of the old-time sea captains
died Sunday night at his home on Bridge
hill. Capt. Adams had been failing in
health the past year, from heart trouble,
but was confined to his bed only the week
before his death.
John @. Adams was born in Ellsworth,
Decemb ber Is, 1843, son of Josiah b. and
Mary (Riee) Adams, and was the last sur
vivor of five children, all Of whom were
lifelong residents OF Ellsworth and have
died within few years.
As boy, he began going to sea, and at
twenty-one he was master of vessel.
For years he sailed in Ellsworth and New
York vessels, to the West Indies, South
American and European ports. He re-
tired from the sea some fifteen years ago,
but had since gone many trips with Els
worth captains as the old longing for the
sea seized him.
OF quiet, retiring disposition, only
those privileged to penetrate the outer
garment Of reserve understood and ap-
preciated the kindly warmth OF his nature.
No man was more loyal to his friends than
he; none more loyal to his home town. He
exenplified in his daily living the high
est precepts Of the great masonic frater-
nifty, which was his religion. AT his death
be was the oldest member OF Lygonia
lodge, in term OF membership, having
been raised in 1865.
Capt. Adams leaves a widow, two sons,
Howard II. of Boston and Martin l.. OF
Ellsworth, and two daughters, Miss Helen
Adams OF Ellsworth and Miss Alice
Adams Of Newtonville, Mass. Howard
and Miss Alice arrived home Monday.
The funeral wes held at the home this
afternoon, Revs. j. w. Tickle of the Uni
tartan church and R. B. Mathews OF the
Congregational church, officiating.
