Mr.. George Echenhofer and family,
who expect to move to Philadelphia next
week, have rented commodious house at
1926 Vine Street where they will take
boarders. Being centrally located they
will undoubtedly be very popular with Wis
itors to the Quaker City from this section
who have heretofore regretted that they do
not know of some nice. convenient board
ing house where good bed and full
meal can be procured. Mr.. Echen-
hofer has lived in this community for
number of years. His father, Jacob Echen-
hofer in 1852 settled near Odessa, where he
had nursery farm. He was also the man
who first introduced the Usage thorn in
this neighborhood. There is much regret
that Middletown is to lose family SO well
known and SO highly esteemed, and Mr..
Echenhofer has the sympathy of many
friends in the business reverses that have
come to him in these later years.
