GEORGE WILLMONTON 
Honored Manchester Citizen Passed Away 
Thursday Morning 
Deacon George Willmonton, an 
honored and respected citizen of Man- 
chester, passed away at his late home 
on Pleasant street, Thursday morning, 
at the age of 70 years, 3 months, 14 
days. 
Death was the result of a general 
breaking up, his health having been 
declining since a year ago when he 
lost one eye as the result of an ab- 
scess. His condition had not been at 
all serious, however, until the last 
month. His was one of those quiet, 
peaceful lives characteristic of the old 
New England stock from which he ~ 
came. He was an honest, upright 
soul, respected and honored by all 
who knew him. 
George Willmonton was born in 
Manchester, Dec. 1, 1835,a son of 
the late Deacon Jacob Willmonton, 
one of the old ‘‘skippers”’ of the early 
fishing days of Manchester. His 
mother was Eliza A. Crombie, a Man- 
chester woman, also. His early life, 
as was common in those days, was 
spent in following the sea. Later, he 
learned the trade of cabinet maker 
with Mr. John Little, which he fol- 
lowed until recent years. 
He served in the Civil War in Co. 
A, 45th Regiment, and was at the 
time of his death president of the Co. 
A Associates. He was engaged in 
the battles of Kingston, Whitehall 
and Gouldsborough. He isa member 
of Post 67, G.A.R, of which he was 
chaplain. He was also a charter 
member of William Jeffrey Colony, 
Pilgrim Fathers, and has always been 
closely identified with the life of the 
order here. 
For over 30 years he has been one 
of the deacons of the Baptist church 
of this town and he has always been a 
very jnfluential worker in the society. 
He married Helen L. Holmes of Hop- 
kinton, N.H., in 1865. A widow, one 
son, George E. Willmonton, and a 
sister, Mrs. Charlotte Butler of this 
town survive. 
Funeral services will be held this 
afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Cro- 
well Memorial chapel. Revs. D. F. 
Lamson and E. Hersey Brewster will 
officiate. 
Second Annual Banquet 
The second annual banquet of the 
Magnolia Fire association was. held 
Thursday evening, the occasion prov- 
ing even more successful than that of 
last year. Saunders of Gloucester was 
the caterer, the menu consisting of 
turkey, French peas, chicken croquets, 
escalloped oysters, lobster salad, frozen 
pudding and ices.
