Elizabeth “Betty” Bryer. Daniel M. Dunn. Thomas Richard Rolfes. Nancy “Gram” Merchant. Nancy Elizabeth Montserrat. Everett Almon Beal Jr. “People We’ve Lost” is a feature of the Bar Harbor Story where we share obituaries of people that the island area has lost in the previous 1-2 weeks. We’re doing this because we think everyone deserves to be remembered as widely as possible and not behind paywalls or at a cost of $500 for people mourning. We’re free. If you have an obituary for a loved one or friend that you can’t afford to place in other spaces, please let us know, and we’ll share it here for you. We will also share obituaries that have been in other places, too. Just let us know. By request we’ve started sharing obituaries from throughout Hancock County. This is a bit of a bigger lift for us, but we’ll try to keep doing it if it’s something that you all want. We all are so connected here.

A stray cat adopts you—and starts killing birds. Do you keep feeding it?

A stray cat visits your yard daily and appears to depend on the food you leave out. Neighbors complain that outdoor cats kill birds and say feeding it encourages the problem without taking responsibility for the animal.

Does caring for one visible animal excuse harm to less visible ones?
