of resolutions in which they expressed
regret at his untimely departure and
gave acknowledgment of his true and
manly character and his efficient and use
tuI services as an official of the county.
The court was petitioned by the Rob
bins Hose Volunteer Fire Company of
Dover for a contribution on the balance
remaining on their new fire truck, which
petition was laid over until the January
meeting.
County Engineer Caleb S. Kenney
submitted his monthly reports on the
work done on the county roads since the

DEATH OF JOHN P CARHEAE.

John P. Carmean died at his home on
/ Third Street, North Milford, Delaware,
on Thursday morning, November 9th,
1913, from hemOrrhage of the stomach,
after an illness of few hours. He was
the son of the late Levin NJ. Carmean,
and was born May 22nd. 1860, his age
being SO years, months and days
For thirty years he was one of the lead
ing business men of Milford, and has
been an active factor in all civic i'm
provements during that time. AS the
junior member of the firm of Pierce &
Carmean he assisted in building up one
of the largest hardware and agricultural
Businesses in lower Delaware. He was
of a mechanical turn of mind, and his
knowledge along these lines made him a
valuable citizen, not only to his own and
firms business, but to public affairs as
well. He was president of Town Coun-
Gil at one Time and member of that
body when most of the public improve
ments were made. In the Kent County
Levy Court he was recognized as its
most experienced and valuable member,
and he was serving out his second term
as a member of that body. He was a
member of the Ancient Order of United
WOrkmen, the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics, and the BenevO-
lent Order of Elks, Wilmington being
his affiliated home with them. He leaves
a wife, who is the esdaughterlOf William
T. Prettyman of Milford, and one sister,
Mrs. Augustus Stutzer, of Los Angeles,
Californ a. He leaves no children. His
mother, Mrs. Phenetta Parker, died on
March 23rd last. Mr.. Carmean was one
of the large hearted and congenial men
who have done much to advance and
better the conditions of the human race.
He, like others of us, had his short COM
ings, but it was a cardinal principal with
him, that he had rather injure himself, !
than a fellow man. Generous to the |
limit, his tender sympathies went out to
the unfortunate in practical assistance, |
and so another man who had the busi-
ness advancement of his town and its
public business affairs at heart, has |
passed to the great beyond. Funeral
were held at his late residence
at one o'clock Sunday afternoon, Rev.
H. L. Bunstein officiating. and was very
largely attended. The many floral trib-
utes by friends were beautiful. Inter-
nent was made at Odd Fellows Gene
terry. After remarks by Mr.. Bunstein
the closing service at the grave was
by brother Elks.

BRIDGE OUT OF COMMISSION.

The bridge in Milford over the Mis-
pillion river at the cannery of Draper
& Hirsch, is now out of commission, and
the engineers of both Kent ahd Sussex
Counties inspected it last Saturday, and
decided that the abutments will have
to be sheet piled and concrete backing
be placed on each side of that structure.
At the time this is done. the iron girder
now in the centre of the bridge which
extends up through the flooring, will be
lowered to a position which will give
uninterrupted travel over the entire
bridge. This is the last bridge in Milford
to be repaired as a result of the flood
last summer which CARED away the
two dams at Silver and Haven Lakes
in Milford.
