WILLIS e. HAMILTON.

Willis Everett Hamilton died at his
home on Franklin street shortly before
midnight Wednesday, March 9th. He
was born in Swanville, March %. 1857,
the son of Joseph R. and Esther E.
(Stearns) Hamilton, but came to Belfast
40 years ago and has since resided here.
January 80, 1882, he married Mary Ella
Hoag of this city and for 80 years their
lives have been inseparable in the home
circle and in business interests. Thirty
eight years ago Mr.. Hamilton established
the first greenhouse in Waldo County and
from a small beginning continued adding
a little at a time until it became the
present prosperous plant. Never in ro-
bust health he gave not only his thought
but his nervous energy to accommodate
the public, often working far into the
night that friends might not be disap-
pointed in their floral tributes to their
loved ones. October 18th he was taken
with severe cold and from that time
gradually failed until death resulted from
anemia. His devoted wife watched over
him constantly, little realizing until the
last that his weakness was to reach a
fatal exhaustion. Courteous, charitable
and considerate in his public dealings, it
was left to the home circle and immediate
| friends to know his worth as a man and
Christian, living ALWAYS his profession.
Several years ago he united with the
North Church, but later withdrew and
adhered to his belief as an Advent, but
frequently attended the several different
churches. He rarely ever missed attend
ing the campmeetings of his faith. Young
in spirit, social in disposition, he made
and held the friendship of many. Those
surviving to mourn their loss are his
wife, one daughter and son, Clara, wife
of Herbert L. Seekins, and Everett L.
Hamilton, both of this city, four brothers
and two sisters, Cassius E. Hamilton OF
Belfast, Delbert Hamilton of Lincoln,
Mass, Herbert Hamilton of Somerville,
Mass, Lincoln Hamilton of Lincoln,
Mass, Mrs Nettie H. Clarldge of Haver-
hill, Mass, and Mrs. Alice H. Rand oil
Monroe The funeral was held at his
late home Saturday at 2 p. m. Rev. Geo.
C. Sauer of the Baptist church officiating
with Rev. Alfred C. Elliott of the North
Church offering prayer. Joseph A. Par
quette, soloist at the Baptist church, sang
"Asleep in Jesus" and ''We Shall Sleep,
but not Forever" The bearers were
Messrs. Charles F. Thompson, V. A. Sim
mons, Charles F. Swift and z, D. Harris

The case came up at the county

one thing he does know, and that
