PETTENGILL - AMASA D. - Bar Harbor

December 12, 1900
Bar Harbor Record

The funeral services of Mr. Amasa D. Pettengill were held in the Methodist Church Monday afternoon.  Undertaker F.F. Sherman had charge of the arrangements, and the services were conducted by Rev. S.L. Hanscom, pastor of the church.
The choir rendered two selections with good effect, and joined in the chorus of "Meet Me There,"  which was sung as a solo, and very touchingly by Miss Mabel Pray.
Mr. Pettingill, who died at his home in Bar Harbor, December 8, 1900, was born in Machias December 4, 1832.  He resided in Bar Harbor during the last nineteen years, and was highly respected by all  who knew him, and beloved by those who were closely associated with him in life.  He was for many years in the employ of the firm of Asa Hodgkins & Sons, and on the day of the funeral the mill was closed, and the firm and employees attended the service.
The Bar Harbor lodge of United American Mechanics, of which Mr. Pettengill was a charter member, rendered the family good service during the trying weeks of his sickness, and was well represented at the funeral.  The only relatives from out of town who could be present were one sister, Mrs. George Hamor, and Samuel Cook, brother of Mrs. Pettingill.
A wife, five sons, one daughter, one sister, two brothers and many friends mourn his death.  The remains were taken to Machias for burial,  accompanied by his two sons, Clifford and Amasa.
