The death of MI Charles H. Emery
occurred Thursday morning, Nov. 9th.
Though suffering acute'y much of the
time during his long illness of more than
a years duration, compelled to sit in his
C hair day and night, he nevertheless
maintained his cheerfulness, kept up his
old-tlme custom Of Joking with the many
friends who came to see him. He was
Wonderfully patient and deeply apprecia-
tive of all which was done for his COM
fort. He was born in the town of Milford,
Maine, June %, 1858, the son Of the late
Hosea B. and Lydia P. Tapley Emery
HIS father was large lumber dealer, as
ISOLATED with the late Newell Blake, in
the early days of lucrative lumber busi-
ness. When Mr.. Emery was a young
boy, his father moved from the house in
Milford to the house at 242 Cedar street,
Bangor, where the family continued to
live, and which is now the home of Mrs.
( Frederick A. Eddy, sister of Mr.. Emery,
! with wi HON the aged mother, bright and
ShCSlS at VI SCdiS, IO" ilNSS' NAA' bliiSl
was twice married, coming to Stockton
Springs from Ellsworth in the year 1905.
After remaining some time in Stockton
Springs, he soiourned in Boston some
three years, ret urnlng thence to this vii
lage, where he had since resided. March
| IS, 1911, he was united in marriage with
Mrs. Lillias N. Staples of this place, and
since that time had been ide ntified with
the business prosperity of the town.
Through his influence the sardne factory
at Lowder Brook was established under
the management of the late J. D.
Young. Later he was instrumental in
obtaining the right of way for the spur
track for the Lawrence Canning Fac
tory, thus greatly facilitating that
business enterprise. And still later he
interested the late Isaac C Atkinson of
Boston in the shipbuilding possibilities of
Standpoint, which resulted in the con-
struction of the present Standpoint ship
yard. A man of large experience, strong
in his likes and di slikes, Mr.. Emery was
kind neighbor, thoughtful friend and
devoted husband. His appreciation of
nature was remarkable and his love of
birds most unusual. His home was sur
rounded by bird houses and bird feeding
places; from the watching of which he
derived the keenest pleasure Mr.. Emery
leaves to mourn his departure his most
Lydia T. Emery of Bangor, one sister,
Mrs Frederick A. Eddy of Bangor, hus-
band and four children, and other more
distant relatives. The sympathy of the
community is extended to them in this
bereavement. The funeral was held Sat-
