Arthur Wadsworth,

Arthur Wadsworth died in Cornish
Nov. 22d. aged n years.
He was born in Hiram, where he re-
sided some sixty years on farm, gain
ing an ample estate, by diligence and
prudence. His health failed, and he re-
moved to Cornish. He was a son Of
Capt. Samuel and Mrs. Jane Rowe Wads-
worth, and descendant of Gen. Peleg
Wadsworth of the Revolutionary War,
also of six of the Pilgrims, who landed
at Plymouth Rock from the Mayfower.
He was also second cousin to the poet,
Henry w. Longfellow; but bis character
rested not upon the pride Of ancestry,
but upon his own sterling qualities OF
honesty, veracity, punctuality, accuracy,
and courtesy In sll his dealings.
He was married Sept. 80, 1857, to Miss
Ruth Durgin of Hiram, and their domes-
tic life has been one of serene happiness
and content.
No death has occurred before In the
family for 81 years. He leaves q wife
and three daughters. Miss Nina, for
years a teacher In Massachusetts, Mrs.
DR.. Edwin R. Chellis of Kezar Falls, and
Mrs. Lillian W. Warren OF Cornish, also
one sister, Mrs. Imogene Clemens of
Hiram.
He has long been regular attendant
at the Methodist church.
He was tenderly devoted to bis family,
and this was reciprocated by their tire
less days and sleepless nights at bis bed
side in nearly year Of bis intense suf-
fering.
He was a man of pleasant disposition
and won many friends.
He was a worthy member of Greenleaf
Lodge of Masons in Cornish, also Of the
Eastern Star, and lived in accordance
with their benefoeut principles. Both
lodges attended bis funeral at the resi-
dence on Nov. Goth. Rev. Cymbrid
Hughes of Portland offered hopeful
words of consolation from the text: my
peace give unto you" This was Pc
culiarly fitting from the fact that just a.
the weary spirit of our brother crossed
the Bar, the last word that his dying
lips whispered to his family was the
word "Peace." Two solos, "Lead, Kindly
Light" and "Crossing the Bar" were
beautifully rendered by William T. Nor
ton Of Kezsr Falls, with piano accom-
paniment by Mrs. Norton.
