ploy of the Sandy River Railroad at
the local station, afterwards going
into the Maine Central freight Office
as a clerk, where he had been en-
ployed ever since, without interrupt
ton except for his illness a year ago.
Had he lived another month he
would have been "a years of age. He

line of prominent ancestry dating
back TO the original settlers of the
town. -
