Funeral for Miser Recalled in Maine Town
An Augusta clergyman was asked to conduct a funeral for a man with a notorious reputation as a miser who died recently in a nearby town. He was believed to be worth 75000 dollars, yet his house was bare and he had no friends. When asked for his good qualities, locals could only cite his devotion to thrift and duty, a single redeeming trait that proved elusive. The service faced low attendance as mourners were scarce and the funeral narrative focused on the deceased’s frugality rather than any positive deeds.
