Obituary
CASTLE HILL - Robert E. McHatten, 96, passed away Dec. 15, 2010, at a skilled unit rehabilitation facility in Mars Hill. He was born Nov. 21, 1914, in Castle Hill, the fourth son of Herbert and Asenath (Littlefield) McHatten.
Robert farmed most of his life from age 13 until his death. Although no longer able to take an active part the last couple of years, he still took pride in having a small crop in the field, always having a love of the land. Robert worked many years for H & M McHatten, Valsing sugar beet plant, Loring Air Force Base, the state of Maine and retired from McCain's at age 69.
He was a founding member of Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society, and was a fourth degree Knight of Columbus No. 2524, Presque Isle, receiving an honorary lifetime membership.
Robert had been a communicant of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Presque Isle, since 1958 when he became a Catholic. In 2006 he was awarded the Boston Post Cane as the oldest citizen in Castle Hill, of which he was very proud.
Robert was predeceased by his wife of 64 years and the love of his life, Anne (Morrow); brothers, Herman, Stanley, Elmer and Rowell; and sisters, Eliza and Margaret. He is survived by his daughters, Anita (Beaulieu) of Chapman and husband, Franklin "Guy," and Deanna and Sheena McHatten, both of Castle Hill; granddaughters, Sharlet Beaulieu Bishop and husband, Rick, of Caribou and Sherri Beaulieu Guerrette and husband, Bruce, of Mapleton; four great-grandchildren, Natasha and Adam Bishop and Chandler and Griffin Guerrette; his only surviving sibling, Maude McHatten Allodi of Sarasota, Fla.; a sister-in-law, Gertha McHatten of Castle Hill; a brother-in-law, Al Salvatore of Southington, Conn.; several very special nieces and nephews, Vella Condon, Joan Lee Phillips, Richard Watt, and Sandie and Rocky McHatten.
Many others who called him Uncle Bob are too numerous to mention.
Relatives and friends may call 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 19, at Duncan-Graves Funeral Home, 30 Church St., Presque Isle. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 20, at St. Mary's Parish of the Precious Blood, Presque Isle, with the Rev. Jean Paul LaBrie, celebrant.
Interment will be at Castle Hill Cemetery. A reception will be after at the K of C Hall. Donations in his memory may be sent to Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society, care of Sheena McHatten, 1931 State Road, Castle Hill, ME 04757.
