Sunday, Aug. IA, Rev. Horace
Leavitt of Brooklyn, N. Y, preached
fine sermon at the Congregational
church. Although he has been
| summer resident of Somesville for
many years, this was the first time
the people of Southwest Harbor
have had the pleasure of listening
| to sermon from him here. Mrs.
| Bringle, who has often favored this
| church in past years, sang a beauti-
full solo.
Mr. and Mrs. Casey of Philadel-
phia, their college student, George,
Miss Alice and youngest son
| Thomas, have rooms at J. M.
| Mason's and take their meals at
| Nellie Hanna's. Mrs. Casey is the
daughter of George Tyson, who,
with his wife, came a week or two
earlier. They will return to their
Philadelphia home the latter part
of August.
In the death of James H. Scott
on Wednesday, Aug. 10, after three
or four months of gradually failing
health, Southwest Harbor loses one
| of it's most valued citizens, honored
and respected by all who were priv
ileged to know his excellent traits
| of character and fine personal
friendship. The sincere sympathy
| of the whole community is ex-
| tended to the bereaved wife and all
| other relatives. After prayer
service at the home Friday noon,
| the body was taken to Ellsworth,
| his native place, for burial.
sad and impressive service was
| held Sunday afternoon at the Con-
gregational church over the body of
| Gene Norwood, which had been re-
turned to his Borrowing relatives
from the place of burial in France,
where he had made the supreme
sacrifice. The Legion, named in
his honor took charge of the ar
rangements and formed guard of
honor to escort the fag-draped
casket to the church and to the
burial at Mt. Height cemetery. Mr.
Olsen, assisted by Mr.. Blais-
| dell conducted the service.
| The church was filled with sympa-
| thizing friends and the many beau
| tiful flowers were silent tributes Of
affection.

Gently, Mrs. Helen Lynch, received
from her husband the distressing
news of the burning of the tene-
ment in Millinocket where they had
rooms. Mr. Lynch could save but
few of their household furnishings.

ware and winter clothing were
destroyed. They had no in

After many months of critical ILL
ness, Arvilla, widow of Henry Clark,
died on Friday evening, Aug. u.
at the age of eighty-three years.
Her death is deeply deplored, not
only by her relatives, but by a host
of friends, who have known and
loved her for many years. Mrs.
| Clark was a strong character,
deeply religious, a faithful member
| of the Baptist church, a consecrated
worker and liberal giver to further
the interests of missions and gave
valuable aid to many worthy causes.
Next to her church activities, she
held the advancement of temperance
reforms. She was for thirty years
an active member of the w. c. T..
u, and for more than twenty years
the efficient treasurer of Hancock
county w. c. T. U. She also held
very dear her sisterhoOd in ROwena
Rebekah lodge. The funeral SER
vices were held at the home early
Sunday aftrnoon. A wealth of
beautiful flowers bore mute mes
sages of affection. Rev. Mr. Nc
Kenzie oficiated. The burial was
at Lamoine, her girlhood home.
Many relatives came from there to
attend the service and escort the
silent form to it's final rest with the
husband of her youth, and other
kindred.
