Lee Valley - A Patroit of 1812 gone - Died, at the residence of his son, Albert, in Lee, after a short but severe illness, Capt. Asa Fillmore, aged 81 years. Mr. F. was one of the early pioneers into the wilderness at the time our town was first settled, and at the breaking out of the late war with Great Britain he, with others, rallied to the defence of the country. He settled in that part of the town known as the Valley, where he succeeded in making a comfortable home and acquired a competency for himself and family. Mrs. F. died a few years ago, and since that time deceased has made a home with his son Albert, where he died on the 29th of May last. Mrs. Geo. Wentworth, Mrs. Geo. Utley and Mrs. Joseph Golley are daughters of the deceased, and there are two sons and numerous grandchildren left to mourn the absence of a father and grandfather; but let them not mourn as those without hope. Their loss is his infinite gain.
