Obituary: Mr. Mark Wilkins, who has been mentioned recently
as being ill, died on Friday evening, Dec. 18th, after suffering
severely for a few months from heart trouble. Mr. Wilkins was a man
whose life was filled with kindness. He was a generous, loving,
noble man, whose sixty years have been well spent in usefulness. He
was a member of the Lincolnville I. O. O. F. lodge, which attended
the funeral in a body. Rev. K. T. Jacquay delivered a very
appropriate sermon after which the Odd Fellows continued the service
according to their rules. It was the largest assemblage of people
that have been at one funeral in this neighborhood in a long time to
pay a last respect to a noble man. Source: Crawford Journal, 24 December 1896 |
