Charles Moore of Hartland was found
in Sebasticook river near the boat
landing back Of the saw mill on the
west side of the river Monday. Mr..
Moore lett home for his custona Y
morning walk and when he did not
return at lunch time. his wife became
ANXIOUS and a search was instituted
with the unpleasant results as here
tofore mentioned Mr. Moore had
taken off his coat and vest
and laid them on the bank. He had
also placed his hat nearby and ap-
parently had carefully laid his specta-
cles in the same before entering the
water. The remains we're attended

malities by the county officers We're
deemed unnecessary in view OF the
clear evidence of suicide as invostigat-
ed by the physician. the undertaken
and Deputy Sheriff Wheeler. The
body was recovered about len feet
rom where the clothing was found.
The cause for this rash act is as
cribed to poor health as Mr.. Moore
had been i'll for sometime with no
prospect of recovering. He was for
many years bookkeeper for the Linn
Woolen Company, manufacturers of
wooden goods in Hartland. Since his
retirement he has not been well
enough to be steadily employed at his
vocation.
Mr. Moore was the son OF the late
Amasa Moore, a prominent man of a
half century ago. He married Miss
Nyra Brown, daughter Of the late DR..
Brown of Hartand. For many years
he and his wife occupied a delightful
