He entered the University of Maine with the class of 1901 and in October became a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He was held in highest esteem by all with whom he came in contact; always jovial and ready for a good time, he made many friends, yet he had a strong will and determination. When the call for volunteers came he was among the first from the University to offer his services and went South with the First Maine Regiment of Volunteers. He did duty for some time after he became sick, but would not go to the hospital. Early in August he succumbed to the fever. He was brought home from the Chickamauga hospital only two days before he died on August 22, with typhoid malarial fever. Had he returned to college it was his intention to enter the Law School. 10

ROLAND S. SCRIBNKR, Company B, First Maine Regiment, U. S. V., who died in General Hospital at Portland, Maine, August 10, 1898, was born in Patten, Maine, April 10, 1877. He was the son of Daniel and Lenie Scribner. He was educated in the public schools of Patten, was graduated from High School in class of 1895, ranking second in a class of thirty-six. After graduation he remained out of school one year, teaching and working with the engineers on the Patten Sherman Railroad. In the fall of 1890, he entered the University of Maine with class of 1900. When Governor Powers, at the outbreak of the Spanish war, sent to Orono for recruits to fill the ranks of the First Maine, he put aside his ambition to become an engineer and offered himself to the service of his country. He went South with the regiment and endured the hardships of camp life with- out a murmur, being faithful to his work, obedient to the officers of his company and beloved by his comrades. Two days after spending the night with a sick comrade, he was himself taken with the fever. He came North on the hospital train and was taken to the hospital at Portland. When his parents arrived he rallied sufficiently to speak a few words of welcome and farewell. His remains were taken to Patten for burial and a host of friends did honor to the one who was not afraid to offer his all to his country. Thus ended a young life full of hope and promise, given that his country might be prepared for any emergency, given that the quota of his State might be full, given that everyone might know that his alma mater is not educating her sons in vain.
