Obituary	BURIED WITH MILITARY HONORS Remains of Edward Poulliot Laid to Rest in Mount Pleasant Cemetery Dexter on Monday paid tribute to Edward J. Poulliot, the first local soldier whose body has been brought here from France, where he fell in defense of his country. Private Poulliot was buried with full military honors carried out by Edward J. Poulliot Post, American Legion and a detail from the Headquarters Co., Third Maine Infantry. The whole town mourned for the dead soldier, who was one of the youngest of the Dexter boys to rally to the defense of his country, and who insisted upon going back into front line service after he had been offered the chance to come home, because of injuries received in battle. He met death in the raid carried out at Raiville when he was struck by a German hand grenade and died from injuries received. From the hour of the service in the morning until noon places of business in town were closed and flags were down at half mast. Nearly every member of the American Legion Post, named for the dead hero marched to Town hall prior to the service with Grand Army veterans, Relief Corps and auxiliary of the Legion, and the flag draped casket, reposing on a caisson, was escorted to St. Anne's church, the route of march being down Main street to Center and up Center to the beautiful church from over the entrance of which was draped large American flags while in front of the church hung the St. Ann's service flag with its several gold stars which glistened as the sun, obscured by the clouds in the earlier part of the morning, came out with all its glory over Dexter's hills and valleys. In the church which was packed to the doors with people who desired to pay a tribute to Eddie Poulliot, Solemn High Mass of Requiem was celebrated with Rev. Fr. Timothy C. Maney, pastor of the church, as celebrant, Rev. Fr. Frawley of Old Town as deacon, and Rev. Fr. F. J. McLaughlin of Bangor as sub-deacon. The pall bearers were Gordon Park, Anson C. Dorr, Matthias Mountain, Thomas Ambrose, Charles M. Russell, Jr., Albert Clukey and Simeon Clukey. Following the services at the church the body was escorted to Mount Pleasant cemetery where the burial services of the American Legion were carried out with Charles H. Ansell as chaplain, while Capt. Percy A. Hasty, post commander, and former commander of Co. A. 103rd Infantry, de-livered the eulogy. As the body was lowered into the grave a volley was fired by a firing squad from the Headquarters Co., Third Infantry. As the sound of the volley died away taps were sounded by Bugler Arthur Trundy, late of Co. A, and as the last notes of this most beautiful of all military calls died away there came from high upon the hill the response, plaintive and sweet, played by Capt. Charles E. Dustin, former bugler in old Co. A.
