EDWARD HOOD SINCELL

Charles Il. Sincell and Mrs Leah f.
Sincell, Of Oakland, died at his resi-
dence here Sunday morning, August
-, at 1910 o'clock, from cancer of
the stomach. His death had been
expected by his family and friends
for some days prior to his demise.
Mr.. Sincell was president of the
First National Bank of Oakland and
was leading lawyer of Western
Maryland as well as prominent cit
izen of the town. He was born in
Frederick, September %, 1862, and
came to Oakland with his parents and
other members of the family in the
year 1874. Here he received his early
education in the public and private
| schools in existence at that time,
later graduating from st. Johns Col
lege at Annapolis, after which he read
law in the office Of the late Col. John
W. Veitch and was admitted to the
bar of Garrett county in 1884. He
was married two years later to Miss
Sallie Wells Button, daughter of DR..
Elijah J. NJ. Button. Three children
were. born of this union-a daughter,
who died in infancy; Charles Milton,
who survives, and Edward Hood, Jr.,
who died in 1913, aged q years.
Mr.. Sincell continued in the active
practice of his profession until few
months ago, when his health began
to fail rapidly and he was compelled
to abandon much of his work. He
was considered one of the most able
land lawyers in Western Maryland,
and at various times held positions of
Importance, being court auditor and
President of the First National Bank
at the time Of his death, having sue
ceeded the late D. NJ Dixon in the
latter Office less than a year ago. He
formerly held the offices of deputy
clerk of the Circuit Court and deputy
I.collector of Internal Revenue and rep
resented Maryland in the survey
which established the boundaries of
this State with respect to those of
/ West Virginia. He was a member of
the official board of st. Paul's NJ. E..
church and a lifelong and consistent
member of that body. In politics he
was a Republican.
Although Mr.. Sincell's health had
been impaired for the past two years,
it was not until he was examined at
Johns Hopkins Hospital in July of
this year that the nature of his mala-
dy became a certainty. The disease
was pronounced incurable and at his
request he was brought home about
two weeks ago to spend his few re-
naming days. Death finally resulted
from exhaustion and he slipped away
quietly and without pain.
Surviving are his widow, Sallie B.
Sincell; his son, Charles Milton Sin
cell, who resides in Shenandoah, Pa,
but who has been at his former home
for several months past; his mother,
Mrs. Leah F. Sincell, of Oakland; five
brothers, John T. and George L., of
Keyser, West Va; Benjamin H. and
Henry c., of Oakland, and James A,
of Grafton, West Va, and also by two
sisters, Mrs. Margaret burst, widow
of the late Olin F. burst, of Lonacon-
ing, Md, and Mrs. Harry Matheney,
of Cumberland.

ternoon, the services being in charge
