Moore of Seattle, formerly of Bowdoinham, dies at about 60 leaving a widow Ida Denham and two children. Local students and teachers move between schools while postmaster Frost and Rev Evans visit.

The town hosts a dance at the crate toll with music by Nelson and Charles Berry and reports on fishing and upcoming partridge season.
