Hallowell , Me. , May 23.
Quackery its own reward.
– Died in Farmington on the 21st ult., Mr. Solomon
Hamlin. The deceased was a pupil of the celebrated
Thompson and being troubled with a cold, administered to himself a
decoction of lobelia (pokeweed) and red pepper. The doses were
repeated to such quantities as caused his death. He had such
confidence in these prescriptions that he made his friends promise
to continue them after he should become unable to administer them to
himself and enjoined on them not to call in any other physician, let
the result be what it would.

Mrs. Annie Reed Berry
The death of Mrs. Annie Reed
Berry at the Maine Central hospital in Lewiston March 29 came as a
shock to many of her friends. Mrs. Berry had been an invalid
much of the time during the past five years, though often able to be
about. During the last few months, however, her health had
rapidly failed through few outside her family circle knew how ill
she really was. She was taken to the hospital for treatment,
but was there but a few days before the end came. Mrs. Berry
was born in Providence R.I. but came when a child with her adopted
mother, Mrs. Sophronia Reed, to make her home in Wayne. Shre
received her education in the public schools here and at Kent's
Hill. In 1888 she became the wife of Dana R. Berry of
Fayette. In 1890 Mr. and Mrs. Berry came to Wayne to make
their home. Mrs. Berry was an intersted member of the Friday
Club and was for some years correspondent for the Kennebec
Journal. Though an Episcopalin in church preference, she was a
regular attendant at the M.E. Church when her health would
permit. The simple funeral service took place at the home on
Easter Sunday afternoon, Rev. Cyrus Purington of the Methodist
church officiating. The beautiful flowers from the Friday Club
and from friends were eloquent tokens of love and also of the gald
hope that Easter brings. The interment was in Lakeside
cemetery. Mr. Berry and the daughters, Miss Eula and Miss
Kathleen have the profound sympathy of all in their great
bereavment.

near Mitchell bay for some years before moving to Friday

ranch here had lived more or less quietly, but generally busy at
something. He was of a

officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in the Valley
cemetery. He is
