We wish to state to all those con-
cerning themselves about the matter,
that during the last Illness Of the late
George w. futile of this town, his
son Colby A. futile attended him day
and night and for this attentive care,
the widow, Mrs. Florence M. Tuttle,
made Colby a present of some twenty
seven dollars. This money was act
ually well earned, but as the health
of the step-motHer, Florence M. Tut
tie, Is poor, he returned the money
to her. A report has been circulated
that Colby had taken money for the
care of his father; this correction
ought to put an end to any misunder-
standing of this kind Colby futile
has family to support and needs all
the money due him. but he is not the
man to- begrudge the time 1t took to
care for his father in his last sick
s,ess and death. George w. futile
was a well known resident OF Nor
ridgewock he was q good man to all
members of his family and kind and
always obliging neighbor He was Of
very cheeful disposition and only a
few hours before his death he sang
