Funeral of L.H.Calkins
L.L.Porter,master of the Masonic lodge here,went to Oswego today,accompanied 
by about a dozen members of the lodge,to lay the remains of the late 
L.H.Calkins to rest with Masonic honors.Mr.Calkins had been a member of this 
lodge for a great many years,and on account of his long membership he was 
recently placed on the honorary list.L.H.Calkins was an old and greatly 
esteemed settler of this county,being nearly 80 years of age at the time of 
his death,which occurred last Saturdday evening.He had been doing some little 
chores around the house and had just brought in an armful of wood and sat down 
in a chair,apparently to rest,when he expired without a struggle.So peaceful 
was the end that no one noticed anything amiss for some little time,when he 
was found to be dead.The fuuneral occurred from the house,and besides the 
family and a large circle of mourning friends,there was pesent a delegation of 
Masons from the lodge here and at Oswego,and a large delegation from ta Grand 
Army post in Portland,of which he was a member.
