Loved His Home.

Mir. Dockstader loved his home. He
and Mrs. Dockstader were never hap
pier than when they could walk about
the garden, or sit on the porch and
admire the flowers, Mr.. Dockstader
was his own gardener. He had a
knaclS for that sort of work and the
result was that they had one of the
prettiest flower gardens in the city.
They knew flowers and managed TO
induce some rare plants TO adopt Will
mington--and their pretty yard--as
their home.
In summer the Dockstaders spent
most of their time at Atlantic City.
Mr.. Dockstader was an enthusiastic
sportsman, especially interested in
fishing and cunning. He did great
deal of fishing. Two years ago, while
on a fishing trip at Atlantic City he
had one OF his feet badly mangled in
the engine OF his power boat, and it
was several months before the wound
fully healed.
