OBITUARY.
CHARLES A. HANSCoM.

Charles A. Hsnscom died early yester-
day morning at his home on Franklin
street. He had been ill more than a year
past, but was spared great suffering
Though it had been known for a long
time that he could not recover, none
learned of the end but with expressions
of regret.
Mr.. Hanscom was born in Minneapolis,
Mimi, June "a, 1858. He came OF Maine
stock, his parents, Abram and Caroline
day Hanscom, having gone from Wash
ington county, Maine, as pioneers to the
then small town of Minneapolis.
As young man, Mr.. Hanscom was en-
gagged in the sash and door business in
Minneapolis. More than twenty five years
ago he became associated with the Morgan
Mill Work Co. of Oshkosh, Wis, and
came East to look after the interests of
the company. He built up large bust
ness in the East, with headquarters at
Baltimore, and became vice-president and
manager of the company, which offices he
held at his death.
Mr.. Hanscom married, on December 8,
1885, Miss Olive Emery OF Ellsworth.
This was the beginning of his acqu amt
ance with Ellsworth, and from short an
nual vacations and holiday visits, gradu-
ally heightened year by year until nearly
all his summers were spent here, he
formed an attachment for the city that
was reciprocated by the people of Ellis
worth, who had a warm place in their
hearts for "Charlie" Hanscom. Genial
whole souled, unassuming, sincere, he
made friends of all whom he met, and his
friendship was cherished by all who knew
him.
He leaves, besides his widow, one
brother, Oliver M. Hanscom, sister,
Mrs, Carrie NJ. Slower, and a half brother,
Eugene Hanscom, all of Minneapolis. His
brother Oliver was privileged to be with
him during the last days of his life.
Mr.. Hanscom was commandery Mason
and member of the Mystic Shrine, re-
tanning his utilization with lodges in
Minneapolis. He was also a member of
the Episcopal church of Minneapolis. He
was member OF many clubs, among them
the Philadelphia Manufacturers club, the
Baltimore Country club, and the Balti-
more Press club.
The funeral will be held at the home on
Franklin street tomorrow afternoon
at go.

The Threatening Oil Tanks.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA, 1919.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA, 1919.
To the Editor of the Ells,oorth American
l am sending herewith the following
clipping from the New York Sun of Nov.
10, which speaks for itself:
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, Nov. 9-One man was
killed. a number suffered minor burns, and
from n oil fire which swept eight acres of
proved oil territory on the outskirts of Wag-
goner City and destroyed large part of that
town to-day. The fire occurred when light.
ming struck an oil tank.
When the tank exploded, wave of burn
ing oil rode down the surface of the rain
covered streets, setting fire to everything
with which 1t came into contact. The bulk
of the business section of the town was de
stroyed, according to reports received here.
Now I wish to ask; Have those two oil
tanks on High street been removed? If not,
why not? l wish, also, to call to your atten-
tion this fact: The board of aldermen have
ordered those tanks removed, and William E
Whiting was intended to prosecute this
matter.
As You have made no mention of this vital
subject in your valued paper. 1 am quite in
the dark in regard to same.
Yours truly,
NJ S. SMITH.
Inquiry OF Mr.. Whiting reveals the fact
that he has been in communication with
the attorney of the Standard Oil Co. for
the removal Of the tanks, but as yet nc
action has been taken by the company in
that direction. Mr.. Writings instruc-
tions were to report again to the city
government if it is found necessary to
bring suit, He feels that suit may be
necessary.-ED.N
