Obituary	Wm. P. Thompson William P. Thompson, for many years a respected resident of this town, died Saturday evening at the home of his son, Arthur C. Thompson, in Brewer, after a year or more of failing health. The remains were brought to this town Sunday and funeral services were held from the home on the Dover road at 2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. William A. Garner, pastor of the First Universa- list church officiating. A delegation of memebrs of Plymouth lodge of Odd Fellows, of which the deceased was a member, attended the services. The services were also attended by many friends and neighbors of the deceased. The bearers were Arthur W. Stone, Howard Waugh, Clarence N. Pierce and Roy Thomas. Interment was in Mount Pleasant cemetery. The deceased was a native of Foxcroft and would have been 83 years of age had he lived until next May. Early in life he learned the carpenter trade and when a young man, went to Seattle, Wash., where he resided for five years, working at his trader. He was also employed for a time in Boston and vicinity, but the greater part of his life has been passed in this town. In addition to being a skilled carpenter, the deceased was something of an orchardist and took great pleasure in his orchard in the rear of his home on the Dover road, raising some of the finest fruit for which he found a ready market locally. Mr. Thompson is survived by a son, Bernard T. Thompson, of Lynn, a daughter, Mrs. A. L. Ross, of Augusta and a son, Arthur C. Thompson, of Brewer at whose home his death occurred. Mr. Thompson had been in Brewer three weeks with his son, previous to which he had been tenderly cared for by his son, Arthur, and wife at the homestead in this town. The deceased was a member of the Odd Fellows and Encampment, belonging for many years to a lodge in Somerville, Mass. He was a good citizen, whose passing is regretted by a large circle of friends in Dexter and vicinity.
