to his rest at 9:45 o’clock Monday night.
	At 9:30 o’clock, Tuesday, the funeral services, which were held at the 
family residence, 1208 Prince street, were conducted by Rev. Rainey, of the 
Episcopal church.  A funeral anthem was beautifully sung by the Madame Stacy 
and Mr. Lamance, with a sweet and soothing organ accompaniment by Mrs. Bays.
	The large assembly of friends, and the profusion of rare and lovely 
flowers, which covered the casket, testified to the high esteem in which the

good mercantile education.  At the age of eighteen, when volunteers were 
called for, he enlisted as private  in the 15th Massachusetts regiment, but 
rapidly rose to the rank of 1st Lieutenant and Adjutant, which rank he held 
when the war ended, thus giving four years of his early manhood to the service 
of his country.
	In 1871, Mr. Wilder came to Brunswick, where he and his family have 
since resided most of the time.  He was for many years associated with the 
firm of Cook Bros., and has always been identified with the lumber interests 
of Brunswick.

happy with his friends, a devoted husband indulgent parent.
