Preston 6. Bovnton

Preston f. Boynton who passed
away last Wednesday at the Brad
bury Memorial Hospital was a life
long resident of this place having
been born here and living here un-
til about 10 years ago when he moved
to Liberty Village.
He was the son of the late Joseph
and Emily (Gove) Boynton and was
Sc years old. He never married but
lived with his aged mother tenderly
caring for her until her death about
eight years Ego. Since then he has
lived alone. For many years he
was prominent in town affairs, serv-
ing as school superintendent and on
the board of selectmen and was rep
resentative to the Maine Legisla-
ture for term. AS he had no near
relatives the funeral services were
held Sunday j. NJ, from the home of
his cousin, George Cove of North
Searsmont, and interment was at
Sherman's Corner. Several old
many others gathered at the Gene
terry to pay their last tribute of
respect. He was a frequent caller
in this neighborhood and will be
greatly missed.
f. r. Gates and Lorenzo Gates and
little son, who were called here by
the death of their father left Sunday
afternoon for their homes in New
York. They were accompanied to
Augusta by their brother, Clayborne
S. Gates.
Mrs. Amelia Bradstreet, who has
been caring for Mrs. "A. M. Boynton
and young daughter, Mildred has re-
turned to her home at East Palermo.
The teacher, Miss Frederick Lam
phier, returned Monday to resume
her duties, after 10 days vacation
at her home in Stockton Springs.
One day last week Ollie Hartman
had his attention called to two deer
stading in front of his house within
easy gun shot. His rifle was loaned
to a neighbour, so the deer, after
calmly surveying the landscape loped
off. Two days later Arthur Boynton,
while out hunting came face to face
with a fine buck, but, although he
snapped the gun four times, that
deer still roams the wilds. The Ian
guage used by both parties in de-
scribing their experiences is both
forceful and picturesque.

DEATH CLAIMS WIDELY
KNOWN RACE JOURNALIST

Guthrie, OKLA, July 13.-Charles
Stewart, nationally known Colored
journalist, passed away at the Park
Sanitarium suddenly today from an
attack of the heart. Mr.. Stewart
suffered breakdown in health while
on business trip in this state in the
interest of the National Baptist AS
sociation, and was taken to the Park
Sanitarium, this city, for treatment.
He showed signs of early improve
ment, and while still confined to his
bed, was able to dictate his weekly
newsletter to the press. The attend
Ing physicians considered his recov-
cry sufficient to permit him to leave
this morning when preparations were
made to the effect. Mr.. Stewart in
attempting to walk to the telephone
suddenly suffered collapse and fell
to the floor. The end was immediate.
He died before assistance could be
rendered. The body was shipped to
Chicago, where he resided with his
family.
Mr.. Stewart began his newspaper
career at Chicago as reporter on
one Of the late Joseph Dunlap's eve-
ming dailies. He was an expert
shorthand writer and an orator Of
ability.
