Mount Desert Herald
Passing away; again we are reminded of the passage "In the midst of life we are in death." It came to my mind a few weeks ago when news was received of the sudden death of Capt. John Verrill, of this place, who went from here to pilot a vessel to Blue Hill and on his return home in his boat died so suddenly. His body was brought home for burial.
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.
