ruptured aneurism of large blood vessel
near the heart. Capt. Griffin comes of q
family long resident in Searsport. His
father was Eben Griffin, who also lived
on the old farm which had descended to

who in turn inherited from his father,
Samuel Griffin-one of the pioneers OF
the Penobscot Harbor region. Samuel
Griffin and his wife Desire with their
family came from New London, Conn.,,
and settled at Searsport, then called New
Canaan, in April, ITS. The Grfffins have
long line of ancestry in this country
leading back to very early Massachusetts
history. The male line runs back to
humphry of ancient Ipswich, Mass, and
one of the female lines runs back a gen.
Grafton earlier through the Averys, Shap-
leys and Picketts to Ruth Brewster, a
grand daughter of the celebrated Elder
William Brewster of the Mayflower.
Capt. Griffin attended the Searsport town
schools till the age of II years. Then he

trip to London in the ship Matilda. About
1885 he took the bark Nerid to Buenos
Ayres, and in 1887 the bark Thomas God
dard to Callao and Arequita. This was
his last trip to sea. In 1895 he built a
grocery store which he conducted for II
years in connection with the post office
known as Park. Capt. Griffin is survived

RUFUS F. LOWELL.

Rufus F. Lowell was born in Freedom,
Maine, Jan. 10, 1847, and died at his
home in Montville, July &c, 1921. He
was the oldest child of the late William
r. and Mary M. Lowell and for more
than fifty years had been a resident of
the town in which he died. Mr.. Lowell
was a man of unblemished character and
sterling worth. He was naturally of
mo dest, retiring disposition and never
sought places of prominence, but among
his townsmen and neighbors he was held
in very high esteem. He was farmer
by occupation, but he loved the beautiful
and the best in music and literature, and
these were the things which appealed to
him. In religious belief Mr.. Lowell was
Methodist and had been afaithful, con-
sistent member of the church for many
years. One of family of eight children
he outlived all but one and for many
years after the death of his father, he was
both father and brother to the sisters
whom he most devotedly loved and for
whom he gladly gave himself in unremit-
ting toll. One sister, Belle M, survives
him. Her devotion to him and her ten
der, loving care during the long illness,
which resulted in his death are we'll
known to all who knew the family. Her
tribute to him was: ga purer minded
man never lived, and he never gave me
an unkind word" The funeral took
place Friday afternoon at his late home,
Rev. Nathan Hunt of Morrill, officiating,
assisted by Rev. and Mrs. F. H. Morgan.
Mrs. Morgan, a life-long of the family,
made appropriate remarks, closing with
an original poem, "The Land Beautiful"
Zone Sweetly Solemn Thought" the fa-
vorite hymn of the deceased, was sung.
The flowers were many and beautiful.
THE LAND BEAUTIFUL.
There is land where the flowers never
wither.
Where roses never droop their lovely heads
and die;
A land where flows clear, life giving river,
where pain can never come, nor tear nor
sigh.
Not far away that land of beauty lieth.
Not far away, but nearer than we dream;
The loved we've lost are there-none ever
dieth;
Its golden streets with ransomed millions
TEEN
Sometimes we catch fair visions of its bowers;
| Sometimes we hear its melodies divine;
| Sometimes is borne to us the perfume of its
| flowers.
| Sometime in radiance bright its wondrous
towers shine.
Wouldst reach that land, o pilgrim worn and
weary?
Woudst know its joys and taste its bliss
divine?
When sorrows press and life seems sad and
dreary
Wouldst catch the light which from it's portals
shine?
| There is one way by which to reach its glory,
One narrow path, with blood drops all the
way;
One thorn crowned Man, the Man of song and
story,
| Gan lead thee up, and on to realms of endless
day.
MRS. F. H. MORGAN.

Mass, and Mrs Chas. H. Davis of Dor
