some OF the oldest families of Hancock
county. He was educated in the schools
OF Sullivan and at Castine normal school.
He soon took prominent part in town
affairs, and was for ten years chairman of
the repu blicsn town committee in Sulli-
van. For few years he was manager OF
Manor Inn, at Sullivan, and made the
little hostelry popular with the travelling
men. In 1904 he was appointed post
master OF Sullivan, resigning in 1907 to
take the office OF register OF deeds. His
entrance to county office, after long
allegiance to the republican party, was as
an independent, endorsed by the demo-
Gratis. Defeated for the nomination in
the republican county convention in 1906,
after sharp fight, his friends prevailed
upon him to run as an independ emit
candidate, and he received the endorse
ment of the democrats. His popularity
carried him to victory.
Four years later he received the regular
republican nomination, but was defeated
in the general democratic landslide. He
opened an Office in Ellsworth, and for
four years carried on title abstracting
business. HE was renominated and elected
by the republicans in 1914 and again in
1915
Mr.. Emery was most efficient man in
this office, and his ability as an alb
stractor of titles made him particularly
valuable man for the position. With his
death, the management of the affairs OF
the office falls upon tie clerk OF courts
until register of deeds is appointed by
the governor.
Mr.. Emery's first wife, Miss Lucy Bart
lett OF Sullivan, died several years ago,
leaving one son, Fred II. Emery, of Sulli-
van. Mr.. Emery married, few years ago,
Miss Bessie Haynes OF Ellsworth, who
survives him, with a little dsugh ter.
Margery.
The funeral was held at the home n
Sullivan Saturday, Rev. X. B. Mathews OF
the Ellsworth Congregational church
officiating. There was large attendance
OF friends from the ighboring towns,
county officials, and clerks from the office
of the register of deeds in Ellsworth.
There was profusion of beautiful flowers.
