GLENDALE.

The pail of death has visited this
town, and left sad homes Its
marks were bright and shining cit
liens. At an early hour last Fri
day Mr.. Samuel Deputy passed to
his long rest, and this community /
mourns the loss of a conscientious
citizen. He was stricken in the
prime of life, aged 81 years, and his
death was the result of valvular
disease of the heart, complicated
with a bad case of measles. DR..
John Prettyman, of Milford, was
called to give medical aid; but to
no avail. Mr. Deputy owned
large tract of land on which stands
some of the finest, if not the best,
white oak timber in the State OF
/ Delaware. He was the only sur
viving son of the late Henry Dep
uty and at the time of his death,
occupied the old family homestead
farm. His remains were laid to
rest last Sunday afternoon by the
side of his ancestors, under the
spreading boughs of the great apple
| trees of the home he loved so well.
The funeral sermon delivered by
Rev. NJ. Stone, of Greenwood, was
solemn and inspiring to the great
concourse of friends gathered tC
