William Henry Francis

ANCESTORS & DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS MILLETT

PG 175

William Henry Francis, not unlike the early members of the family, was not wanting in native wit and shrewd business capacity; yet never swerving from an honorable position in his dealings, or departing from the course of truth and veracity, he sustained the confidence and esteem of his town's people who he has served in an office capacity. He was on of the tidy farmers of Leeds, aided by a worthy and estimable helpmate.

Moved to St. Paul Minnesota.

Was a flagman for the railroad and was killed by a train July 30, 1903.

Buried: Dead River Cemetery, Leeds, Androscoggin, Maine
