years ago. A few years after his
death she came to Ellsworth, and
had since made her home here.

Civil war, Mrs. Durgain volunteered
her services as nurse, and served in
that capacity in the army hospital

ARTHUR II. SHUTE.

Arthur H., son of the late Arthur
w. and Helen (Hopkins) Shute,
died Sunday at his home on State
street, after a short illness of acute
Bright's disease, at the age of
twenty-one years. The young man
had been an invalid since childhood,
a victim of infantile paralysis, and
was deprived of most of the enjoy
ment OF youth. Nevertheless he
maintained a cheerful courage, and
gathered about him many boy
friends, who will never regret the
cheerful hours they have given their
less fortunate friend, and who have
received much of lasting benefit
themselves in their contact with this
bright, cheerful spirit.
He leaves one sister, Helen, who
has been his mainstay and devoted
companion since the death of their
parents; also one half-brother, Major
Martyr H. Shute, U. S. A.
The funeral was held at the home
Tuesday afternoon, Rev George S.
Brookes officiating A profusion of
flowers spoke the love and sympathy
of many friends.
