and of General Nickerson he said: ''He
was one of my dearest and most cherish
ed friends, loyal to the core and for about
33 years | received letters from him every
few months. He was handicapped by
early habits, but finally found his place
among able men at the Boston bar, who
gave him full credit for his abilities and
legal wisdom" Referring to William
Larrabee of North Searsport he says:
"the old Roman, who with the advant-
ages of education would have made his
mark anywhere"
The funeral of Charles E. Latin was
| held at a. m. Friday at Our Lady of the
Rosary church in Frankfort, his pastor
Rev. FIR. Timothy j. Mahoney of Belfast
officiating. The church was thronged
with mourning relatives and friends rep
resenting Portland, Bangor, Ellsworth,
| Belfast, Monroe, Brooks and the immed-
late vicinity. Banks of beautiful flowers
from all these places testified to the love
aid esteem in which the young man was
| held. He was a strong Catholic, loyal
and devoted to his church always. Amia-
BILE and courteous by nature, he made
friends easily and always retained them.
There have been many versions of the
accident in which Mr.. Latin lost his life,
but we give now the account of Edward
Kelley of Frankfort, the High school boy,
who was with him. They walked from
Frankfort to the head of the lake, where
they hired the small boat A sudden
squall upset the boat and both went into
the water. Kelley was unable to swim
and chung to the boat which the wind
blew to the shore, where he was picked
up in semi-conscious condition by pass
ers by. He realized that Mr.. Latin call
ed to him at the time the boatwent oyer,
but did not realize what he said in the
confusion Friends from Frankfort went
down the next morning and with every
boat available on the lake began to drag.
They caught his fish pole which had
large trout securely hooked, and circled
around that place until his body was dis
covered about forty yards from shore.
There was no water in his lungs, and his
knees were pressed against his stomach.
These facts indicated that he died fnom
shock before he could drown. Universal
sympathy is extended the relatives of the
young man.
