Obituary

EAST SANGERVILLE

This community was greatly saddened and shocked Tuesday morning when it learned that Mrs. Mary E. Knowlton, widow of the late Kendall Knowlton, had passed away after only two days illness with pneumonia. Mrs. Knowlton had lived here about sixty years and only left her home here one week before, to live with her brother, Dexter Blethen in Dover. Mrs. Knowlton was a very capable and hard working woman, one who was always ready to assist in sickness and sorrow, and many are the friends she has cheered in time of death with her comforting words of sympathy. Her husband died Aug. 1, and she died on the same day of the week as he did and her funeral services were held on the same day of the week. Mrs. Knowlton will be greatly missed here as she was a friend whom everyone could look up to, one ever ready to help, and it can truly be said of her that she was a true Christian woman. She was a charter member of East Sangerville Grange and one who always had an interest in it anf was a loved and valued member. She leaves to mourn her loss a brother and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held at the home of Dexter Blethen in Dover. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and bore silent testimony of the esteem in which she was held. The bearers were C. H. Oakes, H. A. Millett, L. D. Howard and C. R. Waugh. Interment was at East Sn-gerville cemetery.8

  5. [S30] Unknown author, Ancestry Web Site, Url: http://www.ancestry.com, This is a collection of lists of Civil War Draft Registrations. There were four drafts between 1863 and 1865, which included 3.175 million records. Historically, the 1863 draft was one of the most tenuous moments in the Union outside of the battles fought on Northern soil. Most of the concern was due to the draft riots that took place in New York in 1863.

    These records include 631 volumes of registries and are basically lists of individuals who registered for the draft. The records are split into two different classes, Class I are those aged 20-35 as well as those 36-45 and unmarried. Class II is everyone else that registered.

    The registry contains information including:•Class•Congressional district•County•State•Residence•Name•Age on July 1, 1863•Race•Profession•Married status•Birthplace•Former military service•Remarks
    The actual draft registration records are available in NARA regional archives and sometimes contain more information than the consolidated lists.
