[57488] "The Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine]," 16 August 2022: "Bernard - Gladys Dornfeld Sawyer, 95, passed away August 14, 2022, peacefully after a brief illness. According to her wonderful caregiver, Marlene, 'she left this world on a big clap of thunder.' Gladys was born June 28, 1927, in Bar Harbor, the beloved daughter of Thelma (Gott) and Friedrich 'Donny' Dornfeld. She grew up in McKinley, now known as Bass Harbor, and went to the McKinley Grammar School and then on to Pemetic High School in Southwest Harbor. Gladys had many fond memories of growing up with brothers, Bill and Paul; and her best friend, Esther. After she married, she moved to Bernard, where she lived for the past 70 years. Gladys led a full life surrounded by her loving family and many lifelong friends. She had the 'gift of gab' and loved talking to anyone. She had a smile for everyone she met and was well known for her delicious hot milk cakes and her peanut butter fudge which she generously shared during the holidays. Gladys' family meant everything to her. Besides her daughters, Linda and Felice, Gladys had three wonderful grandsons and six great-grandchildren. She also had a very special niece who took her shopping and out to lunch regularly - two of her favorite things. For many years Gladys worked in the sewing room at The Hinckley Co. She was a member of the Eastern Stars and the Tremont Consolidated church. She is survived by her daughters, Linda Musson and Felice Janes (George); three grandsons, Noel (Mary), Jeremy (Margs), and Garric Worcester; six great-grandchildren: Caroline, Meredith, and Nat Musson; Lena and Carter Musson; and Sawyer Worcester; and several nieces and nephews. Gladys was predeceased by her husband, Lawrence; her parents; her two brothers; and a beloved son-in-law, Terry Musson."

Philip was a Habsburg king of Spain, who ruled the country at the height of its power and influence and used that power in the service of the Roman Catholic church and the Counter Reformation. During his reign the Philippine Islands (named for him) were conquered and colonies were established in what is now the southern United States.
He was educated by Roman Catholic clergymen, whose influence shaped his policies as king. Before succeeding to the throne of Spain upon his father's abdication in 1556, Philip had already received the duchy of Milan (1540), the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily (1554), and the Netherlands (1555) from his father. With the throne of Spain he also inherited extensive regions of the New World. Shortly after Philip's accession, the Spanish forces were victorious over the French at the
battles of Saint-Quentin (1557) and Gravelines (1558), and the 60-year war with France was concluded by the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis (1559), which was highly favorable to Spain. An outgrowth of the peace was Philip's third marriage to Princess Elizabeth of France, who had been betrothed to his son, Don Carlos.
In the Netherlands Philip banned Protestantism and severely restricted the rights of the people. He used the Inquisition as a method of control, and thousands of Protestants were killed or exiled. In 1567 the Protestants revolted, and Philip sent an army to suppress them, thus beginning 80 years of war by which the northern provinces (now the Netherlands) won their independence.
In Spain Philip's oppression of the Moriscos (Christianized Muslims) provoked them to rebel in 1568; after suppressing the revolt in 1571, Philip exiled almost the entire group to the great detriment of the country. In 1571 Philip sent his half brother John of Austria on a naval expedition that destroyed the Ottoman navy at the Battle of Lepanto. Asserting his claim to the throne of Portugal Philip conquered that country in 1580.
His desire to return the English to Catholicism as well as to check their rival maritime power, led Philip to the decision to invade England, and to that end he ordered the construction of a great fleet. In 1588 he dispatched the Armada to the British Isles, where it was destroyed by bad weather and the English. From 1590 to 1598 Philip was again at war with France, aiding the Catholic forces of the Holy League in its war against the Huguenot Henry IV.
In 1563 Philip began the construction of El Escorial, a somber monastic palace outside Madrid, which ranks among Europe's finest architectural monuments. Completed in 1584, it became his second residence. Philip II also m. (1) 1543 Maria of Portugal and (3) June 22, 1559 Elizabeth of Valois (1545-1568). His cousin Maria of Portugal bore him a son, Don Carlos, who died in 1545.
