Belfast Deaths, 1875-1913 Source: Joseph Williamson, History of the city of Belfast in the state of Maine. (Portland Me.: Loring, Short, and Harmon, 1877-1913), Vol. 2. Although for many years deaths were required to be reported to town and city clerks by assessors, parents, and householders, that duty has not been generally performed. By a law of 1891, and subsequent amendments, no burial was permitted, with certain exceptions, until a full record of death was filed. The following list is compiled from the city records and from newspapers. Unless otherwise stated, the place of residence and of death is Belfast; and where the name of a town or city alone is given, the State of Maine is to be understood. The date of death precedes the name of the deceased person, while the figures following directly after the name, indicate the age. The Index of Necrology will be found beginning on page 675. 1875.

Lancaster, as ship-builders, and for thirty-five years he was steadily engaged in the business, having as partners at different times, Horatio Hatch Carter, J. C. Frye, E. E. Frye, Thomas Carter, Henry Austin Carter, Jacob Young Cottrell, and Everett S. Carter. The list of vessels built under his supervision numbered one hundred, with a tonnage of 47,945.

There was rarely, if ever, a business so large carried on with so little flourish or display. He believed in work and achievement, not in red tape.

A biographical sketch nd portrait of Governor Anderson may be found in the first volume of this History. His Washington residence continued until the spring of 1880, when he removed to Portland, relinquished the turmoil of political life for the companionship of his books and the congenial enjoyment of his family. Governor Anderson was endowed with a superior intellect, which he strengthened by study and observation. He was a constant reader of English and French literature. His tastes inclined to history, and his knowledge of that subject was accurate and comprehensive. To his cultivated mind was added a refinement of manners and a cheerful disposition, which made him a most fascinating companion. These characteristics were adverted to soon after his death, in a Boston newspaper, as follows:— "The writer remembers, many years ago, before the building of the Maine Central Railroad, travelling by stage with the late Mr. Anderson. He had just before been elected Governor for the third term. The journey was from his residence in Belfast to Augusta. It was winter. The snows of successive storms had filled the roads with vast drifts, through which the coach floundered, laden with a motley freight of passengers, who were forced from time to time to turn out and lend a hand to extricate the coach and horses from the treacherous gulfs into which they had sunk. The cold was intense, the journey most tedious, lasting from four in the morning of a January day till the same hour of the afternoon; but all the way the Governor was the charming companion which they who knew him well always found him to be, abounding in reminiscences drawn from a keen observation of character, coming rapidly to our rescue, in our weariness, with some well-told story of past or current events, given with such exceeding good nature, such good taste, and so much of a native grace withal,—and even a little stiffness and formality of speech,—that probably none of that tired company ever forgot the narrator, or ceased to recall him with feelings of grateful pleasure." At that time he was in the prime of his life. He had been in Congress during two terms, had been Governor of his native State, and afterwards he performed many public duties of usefulness and importance; but wherever he went and whatever he did he carried with him the same completeness, conscientiousness, exactness, and urbanity which were fore-shadowed by his genial and high-toned address. Mrs. Anderson, whose maiden name was Martha J. Dummer, and to whom he was married in 182, survived her hus- [p. 409] band only a few months. Two of their children, Thomas Davee and Joseph Dummer, died in Portland. The others, Gen. John F., Miss Hannah A., William, Henry, and Horace, are settled there. (Miss Hannah A., the last survivor of these, died in 1912.) [1881] June 8. James B., 23, son of James E. Partridge. [June] 10. Miss Georgie Keller, 23. [June] 10. Miss Hattie Stephenson, 25.

Poor in the same year, having been given his time by his father, commenced the apothecary business in the ell of the old Huse Tavern, now Howes & Co.'s store. The ell covered the present location of the Woodcock and Chase stores. Mr. Poor informs us that H. H. Hay, of whom he bought his first stock, is still in the wholesale drug business in Portland.

Later he went to California and in 1879 came to Belfast, where he remained until his death in 1890. He married (1) in Sunderland, Mass., 15 August, 1839, Sarah Annis Peck, who was born in Milford, Mass., 29 August, 1819, and died in San Francisco, Cal., 23 November, 1864. She was the daughter of Dr. Gustavus D. Peck and his wife, Sally P. Peck, of Milford, Mass. He was among the earliest to go to California, reaching there in August, 1849, and remained a citizen of that State for more than thirty years, during which time he was prominent in many ways. He was one of the originators and first president of the California Steam Navigation Company, and was interested in incorporating and building some of the earliest railroads. In 1856, during the transition stage of San Francisco and the State of California, he was much interested in the formation and handling of the Vigilance Committee. It was his work there, which did so much towards purifying the condition of the State in taking its government from the hands of the rougher element and placing it in those of the better class, that earned him the title of Colonel. He was later elected to the State Legislature at a time when it was important that good men should frame the laws of the new and rapidly growing State. He was one of the mounted guard of personal friends that escorted President Lincoln to the Capitol for his first inaugural oath, and later, under President Lincoln's administration, he was appointed to the position of Navy Agent at San Francisco, disbursing millions of dollars for the Government. His later years were spent in Belfast, of which place he became a resident in 1879. He evinced there the same generous public spirit which had distinguished his career in San Francisco, and it was largely through his efforts that the city of Belfast first established its waterworks [p. 449] system, and that the Crosby Inn was built. Though the latter part of his life only was passed in Belfast, he displayed marked energy in our local enterprises, and won the esteem and respect of the entire community. Shortly before moving to the East, he married (2) Anne Maria (Crosby) Johnson, widow of Alfred Waldo Johnson, of Belfast, 18 May, 1873. She was the daughter of Hon. William George Crosby, the last Whig Governor of Maine, and Ann Maria Crosby. She was born 2 July, 1832. Horace Chenery, Esq., of Belfast and Boston, is their son and only child. July 27. William R.

Emery, 76, son of Dennis Emery. He was born in Belfast, 9 May, 1823, a son of Dennis and Jane Emery, and spent his boyhood on the farm. In early manhood he began to follow the sea, and soon rose to the command of some of the largest and best ships on the ocean. His first vessel was the ship Eastern Queen. In 1861, the ship Living Age, of 1180 tons, was built for him in Belfast, he being a large owner. While in command of this vessel on a voyage from Liverpool to San Francisco, he was captured, 13 September, 1863, by the Confederate cruiser Tuscaloosa, one of the vessels of Admiral Semmes's fleet. Lieut. Dow, commander of the bark Tuscaloosa, in reporting a cruise in that vessel under the date of Liverpool, March, 1864, says:—"After seeing a number of neutral vessels, I captured the American ship [p. 500] Living Age, but finding she had a neutral cargo on board and bound for a neutral port, I took a ransom bond for $160,000 and allowed her to proceed on her voyage." Capt. Emery soon after left the vessel, and in 1868, when he was in Belfast superintending the building of the ship Chandos, the Living Age was burned at sea, while on a voyage from Shields, England, to Bombay. The Chandos was of 1506 tons, and at the time she was built was one of the largest and best ships afloat. Captain Emery superintended every detail of her construction, buying all the material and looking after the work in the yard. He sailed the Chandos until 1881, when he retired from the sea. He did not, however, lose his interest in maritime affairs, and was often called upon to serve as an adjustor for marine underwriters. He had visited nearly every part of the habitable globe, and his descriptions of peoples, customs, methods of business, etc., given from his long and varied experiences, were always of interest and value. After retiring from the sea he devoted himself to his home, where everything was kept in "shipshape and Bristol fashion." In 1854, he married Elizabeth S. Ross, of Searsport, who died leaving him a son, Ralph Emery, of Kalamazoo, Mich. In 1869, he was married to Eliza R. Ritchie, of Searsport, who survived him. He left two sisters, Mrs. William O. Alden and Mrs. Isaac M. Boardman, both of Belfast. He was of a genial and social disposition, always ready to assist either friend or stranger in trouble or need,—a man strong in his likes and dislikes, and positive in his convictions. A better friend or neighbor could not be desired. He was a member of the Club of Thirty from its organization to its end. His friends were many, and located in all quarters of the globe, as his long and honorable career as master mariner brought him into close relations with seafaring and commercial men. Oct. 27.

From 1852 to 1864 he was settled in Frankfort, Brewer, and Boston. From the latter pastorate he accepted a call to the Central Church, Bangor, and for nearly a generation he was the honored leader of a devoted and appreciative people. His resignation was reluctantly accepted in 1892. During the remainder of his life he continued in the fullness of his power, commanding a wealth of love and respect such as falls to the lot of few men. For many years, Dr. Field was accounted the ablest of ministers in Maine. He was always studious in habits, with a mind discriminately open to both the old and new. His modesty, amounting almost to diffidence, kept him from publishing what the public would gladly have welcomed from his pen. Many of his sermons, however, appeared in "The Word and the Work." The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by his Alma Mater in 1869, but the title was repulsive to his tastes.

In 1901, in recognition of his scholarship, he was elected into the Phi Beta Kappa. At graduation he was Class Poet, but owing to the sudden death of his mother while on her way to attend the Class Day exercises, the poem was read by Joseph Hodges Choate.
