 COL. STANLEY PLUMMER
Death of Prominent Citizen Takes Place At Atlantic City
    News was received in Dexter this morning of the death of Col.  Stanley Plummer, which took place at a hospital at Atlantic City, N, J., Wednesday afternoon at 5.30 o'clock, as the result of paralytic shocks received last week.
  Col. Plummer was born in Sangerville in 1846 and in early life came to Dexter with his parents, the  late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Plummer, whose home was on Main street on the present location of the Dana Crockett building. He was educated in the Dexter schools and at Bowdoin college.  During the latter part of the Civil war he served as clerk in the paymaster's department and in the years following the war held various clerkships in government departments in Washington, afterwards being appointed postmaster of the United States Senate. About 1890 he returned to Dexter and erected the present Plummer residence on High street.  Governor Burleigh honored him with an appointment on his military staff with the rank of colonel.  He represented this town in the Maine legislature, serving two terms in the house of representatives and one in the senate. He was prominently mentioned as a candidate for representative to congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Powers, but the claims of Piscataquis county to the representation were responsible for the selection of a man from that county.
  Col.  Plummer was twice married, the first wife being Miss Barker of Bangor, whose death occurred some years ago. About fifteen years ago he married Miss Elizabeth BURBANK of Boston, who survives him.
 It is expected that funeral services will be held next Sunday afternoon at the Universalist church, with Rev. W. H. Gould of Turner, a former pastor of the church, as officiating clergyman.
