. 19th, Mr. William Newcombe at the advanced age of 84 years. He was born near Barnstable. Devonshire, England and immigrated to this country in 1839. When quite a young man he staked off his claim to land in the centre of what is now the prosperous settlement of North- am, but which then was an unbroken forest. By industry and thrift he literally hewed out for himself one of the most valuable homes ..

William was survived by William and Lewis in Boston, Swabey and Arthur in Maine, John, Ernest and Charles on the Island; Mrs Bruce and William Ramsay; Mrs George Ellis; Mrs Major Milligan; Gertrude at home and Agnes in Boston. He is survived by his widow formerly Miss Ellen McDougall.
