DEATHS and MARRIAGES as published in the ELLSWORTH AMERICAN 1884 thru 1891 Compiled by: Mrs. Arthur Ward 12 Lincoln Street Brewer, ME 04412 ( 1992) FOREWORD The following excerpt is taken from an article entitled "The History of Newspapers in Hancock County," written by Hale G. Joy for the ELLSWORTH AMERICAN, and published in the July 13, 1989 edition, page 26: "The history of successful newspapers in Ellsworth seems to start in October 1851, when Couliard and Hilton came to Ellsworth from Bangor and started the ELLSWORTH HERALD. After Hilton ceased his connection with the paper, Couliard continued to publish until the fall of 1854. After the discontinuation of this paper, the press and other material became the property of William H. Chaney, who bought out the ELLSWORTH AMERICAN in 1854. He became associated with Charles W. Moor of Ellsworth, and these two published the AMERICAN until December 1855, after which the editorship was taken over by N. K. Sawyer." The masthead of the ELLSWORTH AMERICAN in 1851 described itself as "devoted to politics, literature and general news." Published by Sawyer & Burr, for $2.00 per year, in advance. Later the masthead showed "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths." The HERALD was published every Friday morning, for $1.50 per annum, in advance. ******** The following is an abstract of the death and marriage notices shown in microfilm records of the ELLSWORTH AMERICAN from 1884 through 1891. Microfilm and/or paper copies of issues from January 1892 to the present are available in the newspaper's office, but have not been included in this index and abstract. Additionally, vital statistics from 1892 to 1955 are available at the Maine State Archives in Augusta. If information is not shown for the issue of a particular date, it is because the microfilm records are not available. D.... GW.... M.... MEM... 0.... R .... Note that the date shown in the index is the date of the issue in which the notice appeared, and is not to be considered the actual date of the occurrence. Reference to the abstract will show the full notice as it appeared in the newspaper, with the exception of poems in death notices and some of the other flowery narrative if it does not mention family or other facts. If the death or marriage of an individual is shown with two different dates, it is an indication that the notice appeared in two different issues. Consulting each issue will sometimes yield different or additional information. Due to the condition of the paper copies available and/or microfilm made from them, some entries were not legible to me. I have included those entries for which I could decipher a clear surname, and have taken the liberty of guessing at partial or unclear given names. Where I have made guesses, those things are printed within square brackets — [ ]. Those entries without a clear surname have been omitted from this index and abstract. I have tried to keep the spelling as it actually appeared in the newspaper. Note that some proper names in the late 1800's were not used the same as in the late 1900's. For instance, Georgie was frequently used for a female, Myrtle and Pearl were used for a male, etc., so you should not rely too heavily on your own precon­ ceived ideas. In the case of death notices for married women, I have indexed by married name and also by maiden names where definite. For example, if shown as JANE DOE, wife of JOHN DOE and daughter of SAM JONES, I have indexed both maiden and married name. However, if the notice is shown as JANE JONES DOE, wife of JOHN DOE, I cannot be certain that Jones was her maiden name and have not indexed it as such. In the case of obituaries or death notices, where additional information was given as to family members, I have tried to include that in the index. In many cases of the death notice of a child, both parents' given names are printed; however, separ­ ate index entries were not made if the surnames were the same. Persons other than the principals who are mentioned in the abstract have been indexed according to the type of notice; i.e., a married daughter mentioned in her father's death notice will be indicated by "D" plus the issue date, although that is not her death notice. Therefore, in researching obituaries or death notices, the complete text should be read, not just the principal's name shown in capitals. Beginning with the October 31, 1872 issue, death notices began with the following: OBITUARY NOTICES BEYOND THE DATE, NAME AND AGE MUST BE PAID FOR. About 1885 the Ellsworth American began printing a column of birth notices which included town, date, sex of child, and parents (usually as Mr. and Mrs. JOHN DOE), but often omitted the child's given name. I have not included any of those birth notices but anyone interested might find it valuable to consult the originals at the Ellsworth American's address as shown. If spelling or other details do not exactly match information you have previously researched, I strongly urge that you go back to the microfilm records to check against my interpretation of those old records. ************************************************************************************ Records for the Ellsworth American are kept in the office of the Ellsworth American at 63 Main Street, Ellsworth, Maine; open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; phone: 207 - 665/2576.

  • Brevity, Skorpion & Battleaxe
    DESERT WAR PART THREE: BREVITY, SKORPION & BATTLEAXE OPERATION BREVITY MAY 15 – 16 1941 Operation Sonnenblume had seen Rommel rapidly drive the distracted and over-stretched British and Commonwealth forces in Cyrenaica back across the Egyptian border. Although the battlefront now lay in the border area, the port city of Tobruk - 100 miles inside Libya - had resisted the Axis advance, and its substantial Australian and British garrison of around 27,000 troops constituted a significant threat to Rommel's lengthy supply chain. He therefore committed his main strength to besieging the city, leaving the front line only thinly held. Conceived by the Commander-in-Chief of the British Middle East Command, General Archibald Wavell, Operation Brevity was a limited Allied offensive conducted in mid-May 1941. Brevity was intended to be a rapid blow against weak Axis front-line forces in the Sollum - Capuzzo - Bardia area of the border between Egypt and Libya. Operation Brevity's main objectives were to gain territory from which to launch a further planned offensive toward the besieged Tobruk, and the depletion of German and Italian forces in the region. With limited battle-ready units to draw on in the wake of Rommel's recent successes, on May 15 Brigadier William Gott, with the 22nd Guards Brigade and elements of the 7th Armoured Division attacked in three columns. The Royal Air Force allocated all available fighters and a small force of bombers to the operation. The strategically important Halfaya Pass was taken against stiff Italian opposition. Reaching the top of the Halfaya Pass, the 22nd Guards Brigade came under heavy fire from an Italian Bersaglieri (Marksmen) infantry company, supported by anti-tank guns, under the command of Colonel Ugo Montemurro.

Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition.

The writer seeks to contribute something toward the development of such mutual afiection between the members of the Pope Family. He has found his own heart tenderly drawn toward all whose names he has registered and whose biographies he has at­ tempted to write. The dead are his own, whose graves he has sought to strew with the tributes of love ; the living are his own, every one of whose careers he now watches with strong interest. He has given a large part of bis recreation hours and vacation time for eight years to the gathering of materials for the work ; written hundreds of letters ; examined a great many deeds and wills, town journals, church registers, and family records ; visited numerous persons and places, and pored over a large number of histories of towns and families ; and has gathered here the items and entries thus discovered.

  • Blasphemy and Sacrilege in a Multicultural Society
    3. Are we capable of offending God? Taking blasphemy seriously Helen Pringle Until quite recently there appeared to be a consensus in Western democracies as to the desirability of abolishing the offence of blasphemy and blasphemous libel. Indeed, in 1949, Lord Denning argued that `the offence of blasphemy is a dead letter'. According to Lord Denning, the basis of the law against blasphemy was the idea that `a denial of Christianity was liable to shake the fabric of society, which was itself founded upon the Christian religion', a danger that no longer existed.1 A long series of judicial remarks and government reports, most recently by the House of Lords Select Committee on Religious Offences in 2003,2 stressed the archaism of the offence, and endorsed some form of proposal to abolish or further confine it. However, in the 1990s, dissenting voices were raised against the consensus, particularly from Muslims who argued that in fact the law should be extended beyond Christianity. Misgivings about the effect of such an extension on the freedom of speech have dogged such proposals, particularly where they have found form in laws against religious vilification. The offence of blasphemy is often treated as a question of freedom of speech. A frequent argument against the continued vitality of the law of blasphemy is that it is an outmoded imposition on the freedom of speech, as can be seen in the public framing of the two most notorious modern cases: Gay News, which concerned the publication of a poem by James Kirkup,3 and Choudhury, concerning Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses.4 I do not hold to the position that freedom of speech is an absolute.
