Obituary
Died in Portland, Feb. 13th, of orbital cellulitis, George Carroll Jennings. About two weeks ago he was taken to the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary for treatment, and although he was an intense sufferer, he bore the pain with remarkable patience. About ten years ago he went from Dexter to attend school. He was an industrious scholar, and was beloved by teachers and scholars, while he won many friends outside of the school. For the past three years he has been with Mrs. Glover on State street, assisting in various ways about the house to enable him to remain and pursue his studies. The funeral services were held at Mrs. Glover's, Rev. Matt. S. Hughes of Chestnut Street church officiating. There were many floral tributes, among them being a wreath from the teachers and pupils of the school, across from the employees at Mrs. Glover's, and a profusion of cut flowers from the boarders and other friends. Miss Barton, preceptress of the school, accompanied the remains to Dexter, where he had a father and other relatives living. Funeral services were also held at the residence of his grandfather, Monday, Rev. J. R. Clifford officiating.
