OBITUARY
George William Waite.

Many in this city who had enjoyed l the general spirit and personality of George William Waite, Boston oil drummer who had made his regular l business trips to this city for the past | 20 or 30 years were saddened on Tues l day to learn of his death which oc- | cured in Cambridge last Thursday. 1 MT. Waite, who was between S2 and l SS years old had been taken sick last week and had been sent to the Holy Ghost Hospital in Cambridge on Tues day through arrangements made by the l Elks. He died during Thursday night. l The funeral was held on Sunday af- ] ternoon with simple service at the
 grave.
 | MT. Waite was of southern birth but since the war had made his home in 1 New England and was known all over I the territory among manufacturers and mill men to whom he sold oil as a wholesaler and jobber His wife died 1 six or eight months ago and the death 1 of son and a daughter occurred sev- eral years ago, so that he was the i last Of his family.
 He was raised in St. James lodge, | No. 23 F. and A. M. in this city, but later took demit to a Boston masonic i lodge. During the long period of p Tor 30 years that he had been coming here he had established an extensive acquaintance. It was his inVariable habit to stop at the Wauregan house. He was a member of the Tuckerbung club and a favorite with all his ac- quaintanees, a number of whom speak
 of his genial, kindly nature and enjoy
 ment of sociability and his rare gift
 as an entertainer and relater of anecdotes and stories.
 a
 the time of the Civil war, he yet was
 a member for a time of the Confede-
 rate army and his experience in thai
 line made one of the thrilling chapters
 in an interesting life as he related it
 Being in the south at the time men
 toned he found himself drafted into
 the Confederate army and in time
 brought face to face with URiof
 force in the first battle in which tht
 command was engaged. Mir. Waite al ways maintained that every shot ht
 fired was into the air and it was witt no little pleasure that he found him
 self captured with large part of th'
 company. When the Union officer il
 charge of the prisoners asked if ther, were any who wanted to step fer ward and swear allegiance to the Star and Stripes, MT. Waite stepped to th' front and was astonished to find tha about half of the prisoners were witt F him for they were likewise northern men who had been compelled t shoulder a eenferedate musket for thei , own safety and were only waiting fo
 the chance to get into the Union lines
