Miss Marie Stewart, of Bangor, who has been very ill with diphtheria at the Summit House, Green Mountain, died yesterday. Many persons have wondered how she could take diphtheria on Green Mountain, and the sickness certainly was caused in a very peculiar manner. It seems that in her rumbles on the side of the mountain, she came upon an old diseased well. Being very thirsty, she made a small birch bark cup, and took a drink of the water. Soon after she was taken violently ill.

A very sad and distressing funeral was held Thursday afternoon, March 1, at the school house in district No. 1, Rev. George E. Freeman officiating. It was that of Mrs. Clara E. Ladd, wife of Lewis E. Ladd, aged 35 years, whose death occurred in Somesville, Mass., where she went last September by the advice of physicians hoping that a change of climate combined with good medical attendance would restore her once more to health. All that money and loving care could do was gladly and willingly done, but alas, no human power could stay the dread destroyer, consumption, which for one year has been wearing her life away.
(Tuberculosis, also known as consumption, is a disease caused by bacteria that usually attacks the lungs, and at the turn of the 20th century, the leading cause of death in the United States.)

another golden chamber of the Kings

Bar Harbor Record
Seldom has the community been saddened by a death more pathetic then that of Mattie E. Cunningham, which occurred Thursday afternoon at her home on Maple Avenue.
Mrs, Cunningham was born at Ellsworth Falls April 20th, 1879. When she was 12 years of age her family moved to this town and she finished her education in the public school of this place, graduating from the high school in June 1898. She early gave promise of much ability, both as singer and artist and processed a bright, sunny spirit that endeared her to many. Those on whom she bestowed her friendship recognized the true sterling worth of a faithful heart and her helpful hands never wearied of performing kind deeds for those she loved. The writer who was privileged to call her "Friend" has many tender memories of helpful deeds and kind words that will live in her heart forever, and wishes to lay this last tribute on the shrine of memory to one who was indeed a real friend in every sense of the word to herself and family.
October 26, 1902, she was married to Charles Cunningham of this place, and two beautiful children came to their home and are now left motherless. She also leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, mother, two sisters and a brother, all of whom have the deepest sympathy of all who know them.
Mrs. Cunningham belonged to the Ladies Circle of the Methodist Church and was also a valued member of the choir. Funeral services were held at the church Saturday afternoon. A profusion of beautiful flowers whose perfume surely breathed the love and sympathy of those who mourn her covered the casket as she was borne to her long rest.
But no longer bowed with sorrow.
"At the portals of the tomb for us thoughts of God's tomorrow have dispelled the distant gloom, God's tomorrow, when forgotten, all our toil and grief and worry, faithful hearts in joyful meeting shall eternal gladness know.
Rev. Pastor's wife.

Bar Harbor Record
Joseph Dillingham Expires Suddenly While Listening To A Hearing.
One day last week at Portland death was in court, not as a spectator, but as an active agent. Joseph R. Dillingham of Naples, a man advanced in years, a good citizen, in many respects, a leading man in his town, suddenly fell back and lived hardly long enough to be taken from the court room to the room of Sheriff Pennell.
It was a very impressive incident. He was in a hearing then going on and was watching the proceedings from his seat in the rear. He passed from the activities of life to the stillness of death at once.
Judge Peabody ordered an adjournment of the court. Without the formality of an appeal, one of the parties before him in a civil suit, had gone before the court of last resort and he recognised the solemn nature of the strange interruption.

Died in Eden, November 19, 1882, Capt. Jason Alley, aged 67 years.
In the death of Capt. Alley, the town has lost a good citizen, his wife a kind husband, and the children, whose circle has never been broken by death, a much loved father.
Capt. Alley was peculiar in the government of his family, he governed wholly by words of kindness and his effects were to instill into the minds of his children principles of virtue which should be their guidance in after life. Watching with tender solicitude, every act of his children, it was a great pleasure to him to know that as his sons and daughters grew up, his hopes were realized.
At the funeral it was an interesting sight to see in one carriage the widowed mother and seven sons and daughters, men and women, who had come from three different states, (one of them from near the Canada line) to pay their last tribute of love and affection to the memory of a much loved father.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. A. F. Palmer, at the dwelling of the deceased, and listened to by a large congregation of relatives and sympathizing friends.

By his death this place has lost a good citizen. We shall miss his familiar face and pleasant conversation. He always had a kind word for everyone, and every sabbath he was present at the home of prayer. I think he was a member of the Methodist Church. He leaves a wife, three daughters and one son.

He was confined to his bed less than four days, having been seized with convulsions the Sunday bight previous to dying Thursday noon and from that time did not seem to have any realization of his sufferings. His mind had been enfeebled for nearly three years but he was able to be around. Capt. Fernald for many years was a smart, enterprising man and was very successful in his business, a kind and obliging friend and neighbor, an honored and valued citizen, and a man with deep sympathies with the sick and needy. A Complication of reverses and losses a few years ago working upon a not over-strong brain probably had much to do with unbalancing his mind, which has gradually grown worse and worse until the end came. Rev. G. E. Freeman preached a very effective sermon.

Bar Harbor Record
A sad accident occurred Monday at the Porcupine Hotel where Lewis Smith, a 15 year old boy of Surry, fell from the fourth story to the sidewalk, striking on his head. He was picked up and taken at once by doctor Averill, to the hospital, but died in a short time. He was employed at the hotel and was carrying water to a man and a woman who were cleaning the house. He started t go out on the coving of the building, a place about twenty inches wide, and the people warned him of the danger, but he did not heed them. He walked around and came back to the window, and again they urged him to come in. This was the last they saw of him, and it is supposed that he became dizzy and fell, striking the wires in front, from which he received a shock, burning his hand badly. There was evidence of the boy vomiting, which may of been caused by dizziness. The distance to the ground was about 40 feet. No one can be blamed for the sad affair.

OLD TOWN – Jennie Matilda (Sidelinker) Flanders, who was born June 12, 1926, in Veazie, went to join the angels of our Lord Jan. 9, 2005, at her home in Old Town as a result of cancer. Jennie was the 13th of 14 children born of Ada and Osgood Sidelinker: Osgood, Leslie, Wellington, Dorothy, Fern and Mary, who died in infancy; and Urban, Emmery, Ethel, Bertha and Nellie, who predeceased her; and her remaining dear brothers, Elliott now in Bradley with his wife, Hope; and Lyndon, now in Asheville, N.C. She graduated from Bangor High School. In March of 1948, she married Earl M. Flanders and they settled in Veazie to raise a family. Together they had three children. She loved playing games with her children, and always had time for a good game of Monopoly or Canasta. Once all her children were in school, Jennie went to work at Betts Book Store in Bangor. Additionally, she was active in the life of Veazie community, including the American Legion Auxiliary, and the John R. Graham school PTA. She was a member all her life at the Veazie Congregational Church. When her children were growing up she was active in the church youth group activities, she was a Brownie den mother and regularly participated in the various social events at the Veazie Town Hall, including roller skating, Friday night dances and public suppers. She sustained friendships that spanned more than 50 years and will be sadly missed by her longtime friend, Janet McKay. In 1966, Jennie went to work in the Circulation and Reserve Department at the University of Maine Library and worked there until her retirement in 1991. Over the years at the library, she became the “campus mom” for several students. In 1973, after a divorce, Jennie moved to Old Town and became active in the Bangor Singles Club, where she held several leadership offices over the years. She loved to dance and was never without a partner at the weekly dances. Soon after retirement from the University, she began volunteering at Northeast Combat, “working” there to stay active in the community. She also was active in her support of the Animal Orphanage in Old Town and the Crossroads Ministry. She enjoyed participating in the Arthritic swim program at the Old Town YMCA and made many new friends there, including her special friend, Junie Grant. In addition to her two brothers, Lyndon and Elliott and his wife, Hope and their children, Stephen and Ann Marie; she is survived by her children and their families: Lorelei Wing of Old Town, Maurice and Susan Flanders and sons, Brian and Scott of Asheville, N.C., Madonna Flanders of Bangor and daughter, Michelle Share of Hampden, and her special great-grandson, Devon Share of Hampden.
