NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
John Easkoot Lee 
John Easkoot Lee passed away at 
his home on Harbor street, West 
Manchester, Thursday afternoon, at 
the age of 85 years, 11 months and 
2 days. Death was due to old age 
hastened on by a shock which he suf- 
fered over a year ago, supplemented 
by another slight shock last Sunday. 
He had lingered along during the 
week, and when the end came Thurs- 
day it was not unexpected. 
Mr. Lee was born in Manchester 
Dec. 21, 1819, in a house on North 
street, which has recently been demol- 
ished. In his death another of the 
old time cabinet makers is removed. 
The early part of his life was di- 
vided between Manchester and Bev- 
erly Farms. He learned the shoe- 
maker’s trade in the latter place, but 
soon took up cabinet making and 
worked for many years with Fitz and 
Kilham, but later with his brother, 
Charles Lee, with whom he continued 
until the close of the business here. 
After the war he worked at carpenter- 
ing and various other occupations, 
and for a number of years he was 
caretaker at the E. B. Everett estate. 
He was a member of Bass River 
lodge of Odd Fellows, of Beverly, 
and in the days of the ‘Know Noth- 
ing Party’’ he was one of its ardent 
supporters here in Manchester. 
About 50 years ago Mr. Lee mar- 
ried Miss Abbie T. Hanners of Bev- 
erly. Fourchildren survive him, Mrs. 
Eliza Sargent of Beverly, Nathan 
Allen Lee.-of Lynn, Mrs. Elmer 
Standley of Beverly Farms and 
Officer Jacob W. Lee of Manchester. 
Funeral services will be held this 
afternoon at 2 o’clock from his late 
residence at West Manchester. Burial 
private. A delegation from Bass 
River lodge, Odd Fellows, will be 
present.
