Obituary: Died in this city, Mar. 11, Mrs. ABIGAIL J., wife of Mr. Daniel ADAMS and daughter of the late Capt. Meltiah Lord of Surry, Maine. Abigail Jane Adams was born in Surry Oct. 8, 1822; died in Ellsworth, Mar. 11, 1890. Mrs. Adams was the mother of 10 children, 7 of whom survive her -- 2 having died in infancy and William who died in San Francisco a few years since. The remaining children have found homes on the Pacific Coast, and for several years Mr. Adams and his wife have occupied the old homestead alone. But though this separation has been a sore trial for the fond mother, she has often been heard to say: "They are good children and it is hard to have them all leave me, but if they're happy and good men and women, what more could I ask?" During her last long and painful illness, she was lovingly attended and nursed by her daughter, Mrs. Susan Heppner of Alaska, and her son, Mr. Herbert Adams of Oregon, who were summoned from their distant homes to be with her.
Obituary: JOSEPH E. DUNBAR died in Hancock Feb. 26, age 47 years, 11 months. He experienced religion some 25 years ago and maintained a Christian hope.

Obituary: The sad news of the death of Mr. HENRY F. JOY, as it was seen in the telegraphic reports of the daily papers on the 10th inst., brought sorrow to many a reader. He was the New York State and Michigan salesman from Moore, Smith & Company, Boston, and his death was very unexpected. During his business career, he had always been in the hat trade, first traveling for Sanderson, Foster & Company. For 2 years or more he had been a sufferer with some trouble in his ear. The difficulty increased and he was compelled to come home from his last trip before it was finished. An operation similar to that performed on the late Roscoe Conkling was found necessary, and it resulted fatally. He was in truth a mother's boy, and left a will leaving everything to her. He was born in Ellsworth, Maine, 38 years ago, and was the oldest son of a family of 5.
Obituary: Died at Franklin, Mar. 20, ELISHA A. GORDON, son of the late Asa D. and Eliza A. Gordon of Franklin. Elisha A. Gordon was born in Franklin Feb. 2, 1864. In 1887 he attended Bryant & Stratton's Commercial College in Boston; in 1888 and 1889 he attended the Business College in Rockland where he graduated Feb. 15, 1889. It was Mr. Gordon's intention to enter a commercial house at once, but being advised by his physician and friends to avoid close confinement, he bought a farm. On Jan. 26, 1890 he married Miss Nettie A. Blaisdell of Franklin and shortly after commenced housekeeping under the most favorable auspices. His illness was not considered dangerous, and his friends suspected to see him out in a few days. On the 19th, at 4 o'clock in the morning, he was taken with a severe pain in the lower part of the abdomen; and at 3 o'clock, Mar. 20, he died. Examination of the remains showed the cause of death to be a loop formed in the lower part of the bowels.

Obituary: GEORGE H. GRANT, the victim of a fatal and terrible accident in Bucksport, Tuesday, Apr. 15, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Grant, then of New York where George was born in October, 1866 and where he lived until the age of 4 years, his father being an invalid, he was brought to Ellsworth to his father's people and made his home for many years with his great-uncle and great-aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Grant. The deceased was a grandson of the late Robert Grant who was a brother of the late Joseph T. and George H. Grant; also a brother of the Misses Frances W. and Ann Grant of this city. Deceased has one sister living, Mrs. Colan Davis of Trenton, and 3 aunts who are now living in Baltimore. George H. Grant, 2nd, continued to live with his uncle and aunt in this city until about 6 years ago when he went to Bucksport to attend the E. M. C.

Obituary: WILLIAM B. EATON, who died in Rockland, 13th inst., left his home in West Sullivan the previous Friday morning. The following day he telegraphed to his wife that he was sick and asked her to come at once. She left home with the least possible delay and was able to reach her husband several hours before he died. He had been in failing health for a year or more but battling bravely against that formidable foe. Mr. Eaton was the son of the late Rev. E. G. Eaton of Lewiston, Maine. His son, William B., was well known in Massachusetts where he had in former years been connected with the Rockport Granite Company. For the last year, he had been general manager of the Stimson Quarry at West Sullivan and in charge of the large business connected therewith, of which his brother-in-law, the late John H. Stimson, was owner. Mr. Eaton served in the 13th Maine Regiment during the late Rebellion and was for 4 years a valiant soldier. He was a most active and useful member of the Great Army Post No. 89 of East Sullivan in which he had served as Commander, and was also a highly respected member of the Lygonia Lodge of Masons in that city. A zealous and conscientious Republican, he took a deep interest in political matters. He was appointed Postmaster at West Sullivan a very short time previous to his death. He leaves a widow and one son, Phillips; also a sister at Sullivan, Mrs. C. A. Stimson, all of whom have our fullest sympathy.

Obituary - On Wednesday morning last, the Hon. JOHN L. MOOR, at the ripe age of nearly 88 years, closed forever his mortal eyes to the scenes of earth. He was born in Surry (now Ellsworth) Dec. 1, 1802. By trade he was a house carpenter, a vocation to which he devoted many years of his life. He also engaged to some extent in the lumber business. For many years he was one of the selectmen of the town of Ellsworth and held many other important municipal offices, both under town and city rule. He was a member of the Legislature in 1837 and again 1838 when an extra session was called to deliberate on the exigencies which grew out of the disputed Aroostook boundary line. He was also a member in 1856 and 57. Mr. Moor was greatly interested in the local history of the place and, being a ready writer, he prepared many interesting and valuable historical articles for the American and other papers. These were published over the signature of "J.L.M." He was greatly interested in Masonry and for many years was one of the best members the Lygonia Lodge had. He was a member of Lygonia Lodge for 63 years; he received the first 3 degrees in January 1827, was chosen master in 1832 and '33; he was the oldest Mason and the oldest Past Master of Lygonia Lodge now living. He was appointed District Deputy Grand Master by the Grand Lodge for the years 1851 and '52, and was the oldest District Deputy Grand Master of this Masonic district.

Obituary - [From Stoughton, Mass. Sentinel] Mrs. LOVINA ANN WAUGH, wife of Henry H. Waugh of this town, died in Malden Friday, 10th inst., age 54 years, 6 months, 24 days. Mrs. Waugh was well known in this town where she resided for many years. She was born in Ellsworth, Maine, the daughter of Joseph Milliken and was one of the family of 4 children; one brother is now living, being a sailing master. A sister lives in Ellsworth, Maine; another brother (deceased) was Nathaniel, father of Frank H. Milliken of this town. She married Henry H. Waugh in this town June 12, 1859. In the fruit of this happy union was the birth of 4 children, all but one of whom are now living. They are Henry of Whitman, Mass.; Grace, the wife of Charles Gardner of Malden; and Agnes.
Obituary - Very suddenly, on Tuesday last, Mrs. BELLE, beloved wife of Jesse A. BROWN of West Hancock. She was born in Eden in 1853 but has since her marriage (which occurred some 16 years ago) made her permanent home in Hancock. On the morning of her death, although weighed down with weakness, she insisted on being dressed to join the family in the sitting room, but scarcely had she risen when a great faintness seized her. Husband and friends thronged about her, rendering all assistance, but before they could scarcely realize it, God had called her home. She leaves a husband, 4 interesting daughters, an aged father, mother and 5 sisters. Funeral services were held at her late residence, the Rev. Mr. Bowler officiating.

Obituary - [From the Andover, Mass. Townsman of Nov. 28] NEWELL WOOD MURCH died Tuesday at the home of Oliver W. Vennard on Central Street after a long illness of consumption. He was born in Ellsworth, Maine, Apr. 1864 and was therefore at the time of his death 26 years old. When quite a young boy, he left home and embarked on a vessel as cook. He contracted typhoid and was taken to the Marine Hospital in Chelsea, from which place he was brought by Mr. Vennard to town. Since then, with the exception of about 5 years, his time has been spent here. He entered public schools here soon after his arrival and then became a student in the Scientific Department of Phillips Academy, graduating in 1884. Soon after graduating at Phillips, Mr. Murch went west and first settled in Plainville, Minn., where he was a school teacher. After a stay there, he began the study of law in a large office in Rochester, Minn., but feeling the need of a more congenial climate, he went to Los Angeles. There he established a school, but the disease which at last proved fatal was fast bringing him into a feeble condition. Last August he returned to this town with the intention of going west again, but every day he grew more feeble until finally the end came. 4 brothers and 4 sisters survive him. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the South Church vestry, Rev. F. W. Greene of the West Church of which the deceased was a member and Rev. J. J. Blair conducting the services. Interment in the South Cemetery.

Obituary - SAMUEL W. CLEAVES, one of nature's noblemen, is dead. He formerly resided in Steuben but for several years has lived with his daughter, Mrs. John A. Shaw, at West Gouldsboro. For some considerable time he had been gradually failing in body and mind under the infirmities of age, until on Friday morning last he suddenly passed away. Thursday night he rested better than usual, and Friday morning with help dressed himself and walked into the sitting room where he partook of his breakfast. Shortly after that his family were out of the room and in another part of the house; they heard a sharp scream and Mrs. Shaw rushed into the sitting room to find her father's head thrown back and life extinct. Mr. Cleaves was born in Kennebunk on Apr. 19, 1804. In the fall of 1805 his father, Joshua Cleaves, sailed in a small vessel from Kennebunk for Nova Scotia and was never heard of afterward. The widow, being left with 4 small children, moved back to her native town of Steuben following the summer of 1806. The family was separated during the summer, and Samuel W., then about 2 1/2 years old, was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. George Chilcott, the grandparents of the writer of this article whose home was on Iron Bound Island. The writer's father, then a young man, was a member of the family and a few years after Samuel's advent into the house the writer's parents were married and established their home with the old folks. [The writer of this article is not identified by name.] In religious belief he was a Universalist. Mr. Cleaves married Miss Leoniece B. Leighton, the daughter of Deacon Hateval Leighton of Steuben Feb. 7, 1830. To them were born 4 children -- a son and 3 daughters. The son was lost at sea and one of the daughters is dead; the other 2 daughters -- Mrs. John A. Shaw and Mrs. Jason S. Sargent -- both reside at West Gouldsboro. Mrs. Cleaves died April 30, 1879. Mr. Cleaves' funeral services were held at the church in Steuben on Sunday afternoon last.
RESOLVED that these resolutions be entered on the records of the Lodge and published in the Ellsworth American, and a copy sent to his family.
Resolutions - Rising Sun Lodge No. 71 F & A M has been called again to mourn the loss of a loved and valued member.
RESOLVED that a copy of these resolutions be spread on our records, that our charter be draped in mourning for the space of 60 days as a tribute of respect, that a copy be sent to the family of our deceased brother, also a copy be sent to the Ellsworth American for publication.
RESOLVED that in the death of Comrade Gray, James A. Garfield Post has lost a faithful comrade who has ever been an honor to the order, that his life is a safe model for us all to live by; having served his country faithfully in the dark days of the Rebellion as well as in the civil pursuits of life, he leaves as a monument to his memory an unsullied record, and it may well be said of him: "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Master."
RESOLVED that this Post extend their sympathy to the bereaved family and a copy of these resolutions be sent to his widow, and to the Ellsworth American for publication, and a page of the record book be inscribed to his memory, the Post hall be draped in mourning for 30 days, and the officers to wear their usual badge of mourning.
Obituary - The Hon. HIRAM S. BARTLETT, a prominent citizen and Supervisor of Schools of Lamoine, died Friday. In the forenoon of that day he examined the pupils proposing to enter the high school. In his usual health, he entered into the Coolidges' house by invitation to take dinner, and while standing by the fire warming himself, he fell to the floor, expiring in a few minutes. His age was about 70 years. For many years he was a teacher in the district schools where he did excellent work.
Obituary - Died in Bucksport, Sun., Dec. 14, ELIZA P., wife of Rev. William REED, age 63 years, 9 months, 23 days. Mrs. Reed had been in delicate health for a few years past, which resulted in nervous prostration, but her death was unexpected. She was born in Bridgewater, England, Feb. 21, 1827. At the age of 10 years she became a member of the Methodist Church, though from earliest childhood she had been devoutly inclined. In 1847 she was united in marriage to Rev. William Reed at Sidmouth, Devonshire, and 5 years later they came to the United States. There were 5 children born to them, all of whom are now living -- Charles F., now in the far west; Mrs. Bartlett, lately of Livingston, Montana, who after an absence of 10 years, had the satisfaction of being with her mother in her last days; Mrs. Hattie Ware of South Brewer; Professor F. R. Reed, for a number of years a respected teacher of the grammar school in Bucksport; and Mabel B., who was living at home -- all of whom have the sympathy of many friends. Mrs. Reed leaves two sisters who are living in England. Burial was at the beautiful cemetery at North Bucksport.
