VOLUME 3. 
The sincere sympathies of the 
whole nation, and from all parts of 
world, in fact, are extended to the un- 
fortunate thousands made homeless in 
San Francisco by the recent unpre- 
cedented earthquake horror. What 
we have read in the papers this week 
depict but scantily the real disaster. 
Not alone is the city in ruins and mil- 
lions of dollars’ worth of property de- 
stroyed, but think of the hundreds 
and thousands of homes afflicted! 
Already in various parts of the 
country relief funds have been and 
are being raised. Let all take hold 
with a will and do our part to send 
relief to the sorrowing and afflicted 
ones! We do do not know how soon 
such a calamity may be even nearer 
our own homes that the distance 
across the continent. This morning’s 
reports from San Francisco say that 
the fire has been stayed, but starva- 
tion is now the menace feared. The 
total loss of life is estimated at 300 ; 
injured 2000. The area of the fire 
following the earthquake includes 
more than 12 squares miles and 
300,000 people are homeless. 
We call the attention of our readers 
this week to the large number of new 
advertisers in our columns. Today’s 
issue of the BREEZE is but two pages 
less than that of last season’s busiest 
week, in July. There is but one in- 
ference, the BREEZE is recognized as 
the proper medium to reach the class 
of trade the merchants want along 
the North Shore.

WM. E. KITF IELD 
Manchester Selocimad Passed Away Suddenly 
This Week 
William E. Kitfield, a member of 
the Manchester board of selectman 
passed away Thursday morning at his 
home in Manchester Cove, at the age 
of 48 years. Death resulted from 
pneumonia. 
The news of Mr.: Kitfield’s death 
came asa shock to his many friends 
and associates’ in Manchester, very 
few of whom knew of his illness, and 
it cast a gloom over the Cove district 
in particular. .He had been able to 
attend to his duties at the selectman’s 
office last week as usual, and with 
Mrs. Kitfield he spent Sunday visit- 
ing friends in Boston: He received a 
severe chill while returning home on 
the train Monday, and this later de- 
veloped into pneumonia, which spread 
to both lungs. Wednesday noon he 
became delirious, a state in which he 
remained till the end came Thursday 
morning about 6.30, not once regain- 
ing consciousness. 
Mr. Kittield was born in 1858, in the 
old Kitfield homestead, still standing 
at Manchester Cove, a house which 
has been owned by the family since 
1768. During his youth he attended 
the Cove school and later, Deacon 
Price’s school at Manchester. He 
afterwards attended Bryant and 
Stratton’s school at Boston, for two 
years. The rest of his life he has 
spent at Manchester, engaged for the 
most part at farming. 
His parents were Jabob and Sarah 
(Littlefield) Kitfield Five years ago 
last November he married Miss 
Katherine Kennedy. 
He was a member of Magnolia 
lodge, 149, I.0.0.F. of Manchester, 
which order will attend the funeral to- 
morrowin a body. He was also a 
member of the Manchester club. 
In 1900 Mr. Kitfield was elected to 
the board of selectmen, being one of 
the board of five which served that 
year. He was elected again in 1901, 
and was the choice of the citizens in 
1903, 04, ’05 and 706. He leaves an 
unblemished record, his services being 
considered of much value, especially 
in the matter of assessing property. 
He is survived by a widow, a 
mother, Mrs. Jacob Kitfield, a brother, 
Jacob H., and two sisters, Mrs. Ed- 
ward Griggs of Boston and Mrs. Phil- 
emon Sanborn of Manchester. 
Funeral services will be held tomor- 
row afternoon. Prayers will be said 
at his late home at the Cove at 2 
o’clock, and services at Crowell Memo- 
rial chapel at 2.30 o’clock. 
Jewelry of all kinds repaired.
