Andrew J. Philbrick

Mr. Andrew J. Philbrick passed away on the morning of the 29th after a long period of confinement and failing health.

Mr. Philbrick belonged to one of the old families of Hampton. He was the son of Jonathan and Abigail Marston Philbrick. His ancestors lived on the old homestead. Mr. Philbrick was born on Jan. 5, 1836. He married Jan. 5, 1868, Miss Clara A. Dearborn of Hudson, Mass., a very fine woman, who is still remembered with great regard by many friends here. There are two children, who have missed their mother and mourned her death for many years. Mr. Philbrick was a carpenter by trade, a very skillful workman. His work was in and near Hudson. At the beginning of the Civil War he was in the District of Columbia and enlisted there in "The National Guards." On his return to Hampton he joined the Perkins Post and was its Commander. He was Adjt. at the time of his death. He had been unable to go about for many years. He was cared for by his two children, William of North Andover and Elizabeth, who was his constant companion. The care and devotion that she has given her father these many years must be a source of comfort in her loss of his companionship in years to come.

Mr. Philbrick's funeral was held at the home on Tuesday morning, carried later for burial to Hudson where his wife was buried. The service was conducted by Rev. Edgar Warren and was simple and beautiful. Perkins Post then held their service beside his casket. He looked very peaceful surrounded by beautiful flowers, tributes of loving friends and neighbors, who had all gathered to pay their last respects to one who had lived kindly and in neighborly friendship for many years. The bearers were Thomas Cogger, Edwin Batchelder, James Murray and Albert K. Church. Arrangements all in charge of R. E. Tolman, Undertaker.

R. E. Tolman is moving into the Joseph Batchelder place.

We are glad to welcome two new ministers to town, one already here, Mr. Barker, of the Methodist Church, and it is hoped that Rev. Bernard Christopher will come to the Baptist Church. We need all the forces for good that we can obtain in town.

Mrs. Cogger's friends are glad to hear that she is doing finely at the hospital. Mr. Cogger goes to Manchester each day to visit her. Many other friends have been up.

Mr. Sumner Fall and Mrs. Addie B. Brown are making many improvements on their home place.

The lights are expected to be turned on in nearly every house on Lafayette Road from Otis Marston's to Edgar Howe's by Saturday.

Hartley Kierstead has erected a very pretty building near his home where he will make and sell doughnuts. He is very enterprising and deserves success.

The members of Perkins Post were so pleased with the speaker on last Memorial Day that they wished to hear him again. Dr. L. E. Follensbee of Portsmouth will therefore again be the orator on Memorial Day.

At the Department Convention of the G. A. R. a resolution was offered that a law be introduced to prohibit ball games on Memorial Day. We should be very glad if the authorities who can have any influence in this matter would, for the boys' sake, try and help the boys to appreciate what an address on Memorial Day might do for them in preference to the ball game. Also for the older people who must see the game. Old and young need an uplifting in the higher and better things of life.

The Spring Meeting of the Seaside District Sunday School Association will be held at the Congregational Church, Hampton, Tuesday, May 9, 1922. An interesting program for both the forenoon and afternoon has been arranged. Dinner will be served by the Hampton ladies.

Mrs. Richard W. Shea of Malden, Mass., and Hampton, N. H., announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Catherine Eleanor Shea, to Mr. Bruce Davis Franklin of Atlanta, Ga., formerly of North Attleboro, Mass. Miss Shea is a graduate of the Malden High School, a member of the Kappa Phi Sorority and is president of the Oseteeco Club of the Old Colony Trust Company. For several years she has been in charge of the statement window at the Bay State Office of the Old Colony Trust Company. Mr. Franklin, formerly connected with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, is now General Sales Manager of the Butters Camp Mfg. Company of Atlanta. He was a member of the class of 1909 at Tilton.

When the Invincible Class of the Peoples' Christian Church, Lynn, Mass., came to Hampton a year ago this time to present "Turning the Trick," for the benefit of the Winnicummet Improvement Society, very little was known of the merits of their work, but, since that time, it would be hard to find anyone then present who does not speak of the Invincibles in words of highest praise. The evenness of the cast was particularly noticeable, it being hard to tell which were the leading parts. On the evening of Saturday, May 13th, at 8 o'clock in Hampton Town Hall, these young folks will present "Sunshine," a three act drama, somewhat along the lines of a musical comedy. They have kindly consented to give this for their expenses, everything beyond this going to the treasury of the Hampton Red Cross. These expenses, principally, include a royalty on the play, railroad fares from Lynn and expenses of the coach. The play is given under the direction of the same coach as last season and we feel sure that, with such supervision, excellent results have been accomplished in the year's time. The general public are asked to purchase tickets as their share in this Red Cross evening. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Cash will entertain the Lynn folks over night. The management of the moving pictures have kindly and willingly changed their night from Saturday, the 13th, to Friday, the 12th, to accommodate the committee. We all wish to thank them. We do not need to dwell on the good work done by the Hampton Red Cross, as that speaks for itself, especially in the excellent work done among the school children. As the cellar walls are the foundation of the new home, so our school children are the foundation of the future Hampton. Candy will be on sale between the acts and ice cream during the dancing. Orchestra music will be rendered between the acts and dancing after the play.
