DEATH OF Mr.. II. F.. ADICKEs, SEN.
Mr.. Henning F. Adickes, sen., died at
his residence in this town, on Friday after
noon last, the 9th instant. Mr.. Adickes was
one of the oldest citizens of the place, and
during long and useful life was closely
identified with the growth and prosperity Of
the town and the surrounding country. He
was born on the 21st of January, 1909, near
the present residence of Mr.. Robert S. Hope,
in the vicinity Of Lowrysville, in Chester
county, His father was a Prussian. He
died while the subject of this notice was but
lad, and upon his exertions mainly depend.

family. His time, therefore, was employed
on the farm previous to his attaining his
majority. He also taught school for a
while. In January, 1881, he came to York.
vile and engaged as clerk in the store of
Robert Latta and Andrew S. Hutchison,
the former of whom was the grandfather of
our townsmen Robert j. and John A. Latta
Mr.. Adickes remained in the employment of
Messrs. Latta & Hutchison for four years.
when he formed a partnership with the late
John Starr Moore He continued in the
mercantile business uninterruptedly, either on
his own account or in partnership with others,
until some two or three years ago, when on
account of the in6rmties of age he retired
from business, being succeeded by his two sons.
AS a business man, Mr.. Adickes, was emf.
nently successful. Of enlarged and liberal
views, quick perception, and by sagacious
he built up large and lucra.
tive business, strictly adhering to the rules
and axioms governing legitimate trade. He
was active, energetic, enterprising, and of
sterling integrity. In building up himself
and his business, he did not seek to do so at
the expense Of his competitors His rivalry
was not Of the jealous kind, but rather be
desired to see prosperity with all, and was
ever ready to extend helping hand to any
enterprise having for its object the public
good. Educational enterprises always enlis-
ted his hearty sympathy, and to his exertions,
perhaps, as much as any other citizen, are our
people indebted for the facilities afforded by
the female college, which, previous to the war,
was one of the most flourishing schools in the
South.
In public affairs, Mr.. Adickes took no
prominent part, yet he was close observer
of public men and events. In his political
opinions and convictions, he was of the most
type, and he looked with horror
upon the evil days of 1860 and 1861, predict
ing with almost prophetic ken the dire con-
sequences of secession and revolution. Op-
posed to secession in the inception Of the
movement, it may not be to his discredit to
say that lie consistently adhered to his anti
secession principles throug hout the war; but
though a Union man. he had no sympathy
with the corrupt carpet-bag and scalawag ad-
that marked the State govern
ment during and for some time subsequent to
In all the relations of life, Mr.. Adickes was
straightforward, consistent and honest, and it
nay be truthfully said that few men, continu.
,usly in business, ever reach his age retaining
% the same extent the full confidence and es'
eem of his neighbors.
