OBITUARY.
In the death of Capt Daniel Deasy
early Wednesday morning, Nov. 5, a
| long and worthy life came to an end.
| and calls forth an appreciation and
sense of loss from the community in
which he lived. In his young man
hood he followed the sea and, sailing
to foreign ports, he travelled ex-
tensively, and enjoyed a varied life
Of the best. He was we'll read and
an interesting conversationalist.
After he retired from the sea, he
spent twenty-five years in active
business and identified himself with
all the interests about him. Kind
hearted, just, benevolent, straight
forward in his relations to his
neighbors, he was a public-spirited
citizen and everything that related
to the prosperity Of the town found
in him friend and helper.
After his retirement from business
he lived quietly at his home here,
with it's far-reaching sea view, and
where gracious hospitality was
dispensed. His last illness was brief
and so free from suffering that it
seemed only resting time from the
anxieties Of life. The world and all
its interests gradually faded away
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon in Union church, hallowed
by many associations of the deceased
who was the oldest representative
Nf tofk
large attendance, as BELTS the pass
ing of man who had participated
actively in all that concerned the in
terests OF the town, friends COM
ing from Bar Harbor, Milbridge.
Cherryfield, Winter Harbor and diff
ferent parts of the town. Rev. Ash
ley A. Smith of Bangor officiated.
The comforting and sympathetic
words spoken and the selections
read awakened responsive chord
and tempered the separation and
sense of loss.
Our sympathy goes out to her,
who for thirteen years has been
congenial companion and home
maker. to the dear daughter, herself
widow, Myra Deasy Shepherd Of
Portland, to the son, Judge l.. B.
Deasy of Bar Harbor, the step-son,
Irving s. Whitaker of Washburn,
and to the grandchildren. Their
greatest consolation must be in the
splendid memory left behind
The Captain" as he was af-
fectionately called, expressed to the
writer little more than three years
ago on the death of her father, who
had also died in the fullness Of years,
that he was only waiting his turn to
go, and spoke of Goods Wonderful
Goodness" in allOtting to him SO
much more than the scriptural
limitation. So, with courageous
faith, he approached his grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery Of
his couch
About him. and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
