BENJAMIN DOLBIER
In Lewiston, Aug 22, Benjamin Dolbier, aged 69 years. Bringing suddenand keen sorrow came the news of our brothers death to his old home inKingfield. Only a fort night before he had left us, the perfect pictureof health, and the promise of many years of usefulness seemed written inevery lineament of his venerable face. But suddenly as came thesummons, it found him ready. The faith he had cherished for so manyyears, in the changeless goodness of God, enabled him to repeat the Psalmof trust: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Iwill fear no evil, for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff theycomfort me.? Bro. Dolbier was born in the town of New Portland, butnearly his entire life was spent in the town of Kingfield. Whencomparatively a young man his wife died, leaving him the double duty offather and mother to his orphaned children. So well was this taskperformed that today a family of five sons and two daughters with homesof their own, rise up and call him blessed. Always ready to help thosein sickness and trouble, there is hardly a family for miles around whichhas not known him as an angel of mercy in times of affliction. Thoughtwice married both wives preceded him to the heavenly home. The funeralservices were held in the union church, Kingfield, in the presence of alarge company of relatives and friends. May the sweet memories of fatherand brother cheer and comfort the mourning hearts.
