Her age was nearly 75 years. Mrs. Bolton was born in Bluehill but had been a resident of this town for many years. Her first husband, Charles Davis, died many years ago and she married William Bolton. Mrs. Bolton was a woman of wonderful physical strength and endurance and she had a great fondness for the beauties of nature. She was kind and sympathetic and was especially fond of the children of the neighborhood. She was ever anxious for the welfare of the sick and needy and did everything possible to make life better and brighter for those about her. She is survived by her husband, William E. Bolton, and by eight children, Atwell S. Davis of Sangerville, Charles A. Davis of Bangor, Albert S.
