OBITUARY
THE LEWISTON DAILY SUN
November 8, 1905
Africa Staples, one of the oldest residents of Auburn, died Tuesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Higgins of South Freeport. His remains have been brought to Auburn where the funeral services will be held.
Mr. Staples was 82 years of age and for the greater part of his life lived in Auburn where he was born. For a few years he lived West but coming back settled down as a farmer. He also ran a milk route for many years. For a long time he was in charge of the Mount Auburn Cemetery. For the past six or eight years he has led a retired life.
It was last Sunday that Mr. Staples who up to that time had been enjoying his usual health, suffered a shock, and from then on, steadily failed.
His wife died some eighteen or twenty years ago, but he is survived by two children, Mrs. Emma Higgins of South Freeport and Edward Staples of Auburn.
