denly-JacOb Freidel Dies at SO
Judge Philip Quigley Churchman.
of the Wilmington Municipal Court
died Monday morning, very suddenly
at his home, 2113 Washington street.
He had been at home, ill, for some
weeks, but the improvement in his
condition, especially in the past few
few days, was such that it was ex-
pected that he would be back on the
bench in a short time. His death was
shock to his friends. Born in
the house at Gil King street. Will
mington, December 20, 1864, Judge
Churchman was only in his 56th wear.
He was the eldest son of the late
William H. and Elizabeth Quigley
Churchman and the eldest grandson
of the late George w. and Maria
Shull Churchman and of the late
Philip and Eliza Groves Quigley. He
attended Rugby Academy in the Ma
sonic Temple and also at Swarthmore
College from 1879 until 1884. His
law reading began in the office of the
late Senator Anthony Higgins. That
was in 1885. He was admitted to the
bar in New Castle county in Novem-
ber, 1889, and was taken into a part
nership by his tutor, the ex-senator.
This relation between them continued
about ten years. Judge Churchman's
political activities were more or less
limited. He was prothonotary of New
Castle county from 1910 to 1912, when
he was appointed municipal Judge. He
was counsel to the General Assembly
in 1898 and again in 1900. In 1906 he
was united in marriage to Mrs. Mar
garet Cunningham, widow of Hubert
j. Cunningham, of Philadelphia. Mrs.
Churchman has one daughter by her
former marriage, Mrs. Charles ].
Winkler, of Wilmington. Judge
Churchman was devoted TO the only
child, wnom he fondly called his
grandchild, and who was named after
him. The funeral took place yester-
day (Tuesday) afternoon at 2.3O, from
the late home. Services were con-
Quoted by Rev. R. w. Trapnell, rector
of St. Andrews Episcopal Church. In
terment was private in Wilmington
and Brandywine Cemetery.
Former ThOrOughfare Neck Woman
On Friday, December 10, the "Grim
Reaper" entered the home of w. D.
Larmore, of Upland, Pa, and claimed
Mrs. Katie Bell LaTmore, daughter of
Mrs. w. D. Burrows formerly Mrs.
Mary BelD, as one of the fairest of
his own. The fact that Mrs. Larmore
was taken in the prime Of life (only
36 years of age), and apparently in
the best of health, makes her death
a shock to her large circle of friends
and relatives. She leaves to mourn
her loss a husband and a two-weeks'
cid daughter. The funeral was held
at her home in Upland Sunday after
noon, at 2.30 o'clock, and was largely
attended by the friends who had
known her since her residence at Up
land. Her remains were brought to
Smyrna and from here taken to Odd
Fellows Cemetery, Camden, where a
large number of her former friends
and relatives of Dover and vicinity
gathered to pay their last tributes to
her memory.
