at his home here April 21, at the age
Of ninety-two years, three months.
Being familiarly and happily known
throughout Hancock county in his
capacity as shipmaster, followed by
twenty-three years as town clerk,

terested citizen, his record will be
borne in mind for a great many
years. He was for many years a
member of the Congreg gational
church, and a regular attendant as
long as health permitted. More
than all will be held in precious
memory the CHEEKY word and kind
ly smile, and the hearty welcome to
his home, where it seemed his great
pleasure to entertain hosts of
friends His was a nature as gentle
as that of a child, generous of all
his possessions. During his long
illness he received loving ministra-
tions from his faithful wife, Sarah
Frances, who, with their son, Walter
M. of Portland, was with him at the
end. Other near relatives and low
