Roberts - Tobias L. - Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor Record
Jan. 8, 1908
One Of Bar Harbor's Most Prominent Citizens Passes Away.
In the death of Mr. roberts Bar Harbor losses one of its oldest and most prominent citizens, and one of its most successful business men. He was born in Boston, March 31, 1835, and when he was about one year old his parents moved here attracted by the possibilities for business. His father built the Agamont House, the first hotel in Bar Harbor, in 1855, and in 1888 the father and son opened a general store. Previous to that time Mr. Roberts was employed in Rockland at the caulkers trade, and in Boston by a large grocery store concern. The Roberts store was for many years the sole one here and for a long time, with one competitor, did the entire business, as well as being the local post office and general center of town. In 1873 he moved his store to Main Street and continued it until 1903, when he closed out. In 1894 he opened a dry and fancy goods store under the name of the Little Store, which is still in active business.
Attracted by the possibilities in the growing summer resort business and the constantly increased number of summer guests, in 1876 he built a small hotel on the site of the present Rockaway House, and three years later he added another large portion to it. Still more additions were made from time to time as business warranted and the hotel was always taking a leading place among Bar Harbor's hoteliers.
Mr. Roberts was a shrewd business man and foreseeing the possibilities in the development of the resort became a heavy owner in real estate at an early period, which grew rapidly in value as the town increased in size and importance. He was regarded as one of the wealthiest men in town, and owned many of the choicest sites in both the business and residential action of the town. He retained an active interest in his business affairs until almost a year and a half ago, when he was stricken with a shock. Although he rallied temporarily at times, and was occasionally able to lie up and out of doors, and devote a little attention to his affairs, he never fully recovered, and the end had been expected for some time.
Mr. Roberts is survived by a widow, Mrs. Harriet Rolfa Roberts, a son, Tobias L. Roberts Jr, and a daughter Miss Mary Roberts, a brother, W.M. Roberts, and a sister, Mrs. J.A. Rodick.
Funeral services were held at the congregational Church Sunday afternoon. The funeral sermon was presented by Rev. Charles S. Haynes, the new acting pastor of the congregational church, who preached a feeling and appreciative tribute to the memory of the dead man. The church was filled with mourners and the flora tributes were numerous and beautiful. The internment was in the roberts family lot in Mt. Desert Street Cemetery.

JOHN AND GEORGE HAMOR
Two Babies Burned At Bayside Friday
The infant sons of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Hamor, John, aged two years and George, aged five months, were burned to death in a fire that destroyed their camp home at Bayside Friday afternoon.
Mr. Hamor, whose home is in West Eden, but who is well known in Bar Harbor where he has lived from time to time, was working for the Morrison Lumber Co., operating a portable mill at Bayside and was occupying a small camp near the mill, having moved his family there but a few days before.
Friday afternoon, while Mr. Hamor was at work, Mrs. Hamor left the two children asleep in a bunk and went to another camp only a few feet away to see a sick neighbor. Returning to her camp in a few minutes, she found the whole interior in flames. It was impossible to reach the children.
The camp was destroyed. The charred bodies of the little victims were found where the bunk had been, indicating that they had not been near the stove, and that they were mercifully smothered before the flames reached them. It is believed the fire must have caught from a spark from the stove.

She was a fine example of the American wife and mother, a home maker and a neighbor and friend whose love for all about her was proverbial. Her life meant so much to all about her and her death brings sorrow and a place vacant in the family circle never to be filled.

EMERY - JOHN J. - Bar Harbor
JOHN J. EMERY DIES
The Bar Harbor Record
September 9, 1908
John J. Emery of New York, one of the best known and most prominent members of the summer colony at this resort, died at The Torrets, his Bar Harbor villa, at 9;45 o'clock Saturday morning, after an extended illness. Mr. Emery leaves a widow and five children, three girls and two boys, who will have the profound sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
Mr. Emery has been in very feeble health all summer, suffering from a very severe attack of the gout. This was followed by pleurisy and friends and relatives realized that his condition was very critical. Pneumonia had set in and although the crisis seemed to have been passed a few days ago the patient was left in so (unreadable) a condition that great danger remained. Mr. Emery gained slightly but had a set back Friday evening, and in spite of the most skilled medical treatment sank rapidly until the end came Saturday forenoon.
Mr. Emery had been a regular summer visitor here for several years. He boarded at the Rodick house 25 years ago and in 1895 after his marriage, built the Torrets, which is recognized as one of the most charming and pretentious of Bar Harbor villas. November 2, 1892, Mr. Emery married Miss Lela Alexander, daughter of General C.T. Alexander, U.S.A. ore of the leading beauties of Bar Harbor society. Mr. and Mrs. Emery have been closely identified with the social life of Bar Harbor and the Torrets has been the scene of many charming social functions, Mrs. Emery being a delightful hostess.
Mr. Emery was one of the wealthy members of the summer colony and was reputed to be worth about $40,000,000. His parents were English people and settled in Cinelnuati, where he was born about 75 years ago. Mr. Emery Sr., accumulated a large amount of property for those days and the share of John J. Emery and his brother, Thomas, was increased many times over by their excellent business sagacity.
For many years the emery's devoted their energies chiefly to improving Cinaiannati real estate, but in later years they invested largely in real estate in other western cities and in other lines of business. Mr. Emery moved to New York shortly after his marriage. He was possessed of a splendid business judgment adled investigation and wonderful application. Since the recent death of his brother, Thomas, Mr. Emery has taken charge of the vast estate for the widow. Mr. Emery is said to have 2,000 houses and buildings in Cincinnati alone. He was keenly interested in Bar Harbor and took an active part in village improvement, especially in the Kebo Valley Club and other local institutions.
There will be no funeral services here. The remains will be taken to Cincinnati.

HAMOR - EBEN M. - Eden
MR. EBEN HAMOR DEAD
Bar Harbor Record
Nov. 9, 1910
People throughout the town of Eden learned with the most sincere regret Sunday morning of the death at midnight Saturday of Eben M. Hamor of West Eden, one of the most thoroughly admired and respected. Mr. Hamor lived to the great age of 87 years and 21 days and died at his home at Town Hill, as that part of eden is commonly called, within a short distance of the spot where he was born.
He had been sick for two weeks, althrough able during part of that time to move about his room occasionally.. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure caused by lung service, the organ being simply worn out and unable to perform its function. For the last three or four days before his death Mr. Hamor had been unconscious the greater part of the time and the end came peacefully and without pain.
He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Ida Rich or West Eden, one brother, James Hamor, a grand daughter; Mrs. Fred Gonya of Bar Harbor, and a grandson, Chester Rich, of West Eden. Funeral services were held at the chapel, West Eden, Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
The members of Mt. Desert lodge, F.and A.M. of the town of Mount Desert with which Mr. Hamor had been identified for many years attended the funeral service in a body and a large number of Bar Harbor Masons were present. Mr. Hamor was born at West Eden and lived there continually except for a short period when he carried on a store in the village of Somesville. He married Miss Apphia Salisbury, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Salisbury of Eden, whom he survived by some twenty five years. In his younger days Mr. Hamor taught school in Bar Harbor and other parts of Mount Desert Island and studied surveying as opportunity offered. He worked for many years as a surveyor in different parts of hancock County and became very familiar with land titles, especially on the island of Mt. Desert.
In middle life, Mr. Hamor served the town very effectively as a member of the board of selectmen for many years and he has also been town treasurer and collector of taxes. He has been agent of the town school and for many years and was elected to that office at the last annual meeting of the town. He was representative to the legislature from the class towns of Eden, Mount Desert, Tremont, and Cranberry Isle for two terms.
Mr. Hamor also assisted in the preparation of Mt. Desert, a history by George E. Street, and in a number of articles which have appeared from time to time in various newspapers and magazines. He was always appealed to for testimony in disputed land cases as to events in early years. At the annual Hamor reunion, one of the largest social events on the island, he was the most prominent figures, and the witty, piquant speeches that he always made were among the most prominent and important features of the gathering. He will be deeply missed in every way and in his death Eden has sustained a deep loss.
Mr. Hamor was a generous contributor and a deeply interested member of the Baptist Church there, and took more than a personal pride in the handsome little edifice that was erected by the self-sacrifice of the people of West Eden.
At the time of his death he was the postmaster at West Eden, which office he has held for a good many years, except under president Cleveland's administration. He was in business as a general storekeeper in West Eden and Somesville for more than half a century.
Mr. Hamor was a prominent figure in town meetings for a generation, and his views expressed in convincing terms, were always given careful consideration and carried great weight with the voters. He stood firmly for what he believed to be the best interests of the town and his counsel in town affairs was recognized as wise. Al through a resident of the western part of the town he invariably supported any measure looking to the improvement of the town even though the immediate vicinity of his house would not be benefited by the improvement so directly as another part of the town. He believed that good schools, good roads, a good sewer system, good lighting, etc. in Bar Harbor benefited every citizen of the town wherever he lived in the village of Bar Harbor or in the most remote district of the town. He believed in a broad liberal policy in conducting the affairs of the town and advocated such a policy on every occasion.
Years ago Mr. Hamor began the work of gathering material for a history of the town. About four years ago the first volume was finished by Mr. Hamor and presented to the town, and at the annual town meeting in 1909 the second volume, written by Mr. Hamor's own hand since his 81st birthday, was given to the town.
Those two volumes contain matter concerning the town and its inhabitants of the greatest historical interest to the people of Eden and of inestimable value. They represent a vast amount of work and research on the part of Mr. Hamor and are a good addition to the liturature concerning the orgin and growth of the town. With the volumes of history in a copy of the original grant by the state of Mass. of this part of the island of Mr. Desert to Madam Degregoire.
Of such importance does the town regard this historical account that at the annual meeting of 1910 a committee of five was appointed to consider the question of having it printed in book form.
About four years ago Mr. Hamor built a new house at West Eden in which he has since lived with his daughter, Mrs. Ida Rich, and his grandson, Chester Rich and his wife. Mr. Hamor was a member of the Baptist Church at Salisbury Cove.
In politics he has always been a Republican.
Mr. Hamor had a keen intellect, and retained his faculties in a very remarkable degree up to the time of his last sickness. He was a splendid, rugged character. He was a broadminded, liberal, farsighted Christian gentleman. In his death Eden mourns one of its foremost citizen.
