Obituary	Obituary. Daniel Plummer, a well known citizen of Dexter, passed peacefully and without apparent pain to the higher life from his home in this village, Monday morning, June 1st after an illness of only sixty-two hours. He was born at Freeman, Franklin county, Me., Nov. 21st, 1821; removed years old with his parents to Sangerville, Piscataquis county, where he resided until 1853, when he became a resident of Dexter, and has continued to be ever since, except during the period from 1874 to 1889 when he lived for a time at Bangor and Skowhegan, and sojourned at Washington, Boston and Philadelphia. Dexter was the home of his active manhood and of his old age, and he loved the town better than any place oil earth. In 1845 he married Miranda M. Oakes of Sangerville, who passed away nearly four years ago. Mr. Plummer was in early life a farmer, and later a carpenter, contractor and builder, having put up such well known buildings as Dexter Town hall, High school house, (since burned) and Abbott Woolen mill extensions. Subsequently he was for some years an employe of the U. S. Patent Office, but for the last seventeen years he has been retired from all active outside business, although always busy about his garden, orchards, and home. He was originally a protectionist Henry Clay Whig, and has been a straight Republican ever since the advent of that party in 1854. In religion he has always been a Free and Independent Thinker, or Rationalist, accepting in the main the views of such great leaders of religious thought as Theodore Parker and Minot J. Savage. He met and manfully discharged all life's responsibilities, and was not afraid to die. He was a quiet man of marked modesty, who attended strictly to his own business. A devoted husband and self-sacrificing father, he was honest, just and truthful. By his unexpected demise, his son, Col. Stanley Plummer, is left in a desolate home, with no kindred nearer than uncles, aunts and cousins. Col. Plummer has been touched by many kind words, letters and telegrams from sympathetic friends.
