ODESSA RECLUSE WITH HIS TWO
Dogs FOUND BURNED TO DEATH
DAVID DOAK, WHO LIVED LIFE
OF SECLUSION, PERISHES
There Was No Sign of Life in the
House When Firemen Arrive and it
Was Believed DOak Had Gone

David DOak, aged 72, who for a
number of years has lived a life of
seclusion in a shanty situated on Ap-
pOquinimink Greek, about one mile
south of Odessa, died in the fire which
destroyed his home and also burned
to death the two dogs, which were his
only companions. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but a report now cir
culating has it that Doak was felled
by blow on his skull and that this
culpmt also set fire to the dwelling.
The fire broke out in Doak's home
about seven o'clock Tuesday evening.
The first eye witnesses to this tragedy
were William Regener, William Gres-
senger and Harry West, all of Odessa,
who were passing in a car at the time.
When these men arrived at the home,
which is some distance from the road,
1t was a mass of flames. The dogs
chained to the outside of the house
were just burning up and past human
aid. There was no sign of life within
the flaming cabin and they thought
Doak to be away. After seeing thev
could do nothing alone, the men phon-
ed in an alarm and the Middletown
Fire Company responded arriving at
the scene about 720. Their truck
stuck in the soft field enroute to the
fire, however, and they had to content
themselves with letting it burn itself
out. After the flames had practical
ly demolished the building, which was
a frame structure, an investigation bv
the tiremen disclosed the fact that
Doak had perished in the flames. Dep
uty Coroner Hirzel was notified and
made an investigation. His decision
was that death was due to an acci-
dent. A further investigation has dis
closed the fact that the skull bears
signs Of a blow from a blunt instlu-
ment. This has given rise to the sus-
picion, and the accompanying investi-
cation by State Detective Messick.
that there had been foul play previous
to the fire. Several negroes, said to
be strangers, made inquiry at farm
near DOak's shanty, Tuesday after
noon, Oh last week, and were later
seen about the farm. Doak had lived
in the Odessa vicinity for about 30
years and previous to moving there
had been printer in Philadelphia. He
was a member of a good family and
was reputed to be moderately wealthy.
His income consisted of interest from
several bequests and a pension from
the Printers Union. He was unusual
ly reticent. He is survived by a son,
reputed to be a wealthy real estate
dealer in st. Louis, and two nephews,
DR.. John Dick and William Doak, both
of Philadelphia. His nephews arrang-
ed for his burial in Mt. Moriah Gene
terry Saturday at 1 o'clock beside his
wife, who was buried there a number
of years ago. His son has been mott
fed.

THANKSGIVING QUIETLY SPENT
Seemed More Like a Sunday Than a
HOliday-Day of Family Gatherings


HOliday-Day of Family Gatherings
Thanksgiving was quietly spent in
Smyrna and despite the fact it was a
beautiful sunny day, there was so lit
tie going on as to make it appear
more like Sabbath day than a holi-
day. Most people sought diversions
an motoring and cunning while family
gatherings at turkey diners were
much in vogue. Union services at
Asbury M. E. Church drew a large
congregation at which four ministers
assisted the Rev. r. X. Stephenson in
conducting services. The sermon an
propmate to the day was preached by
the Rev. Thomas Getz Hill, rector of
st. Peters Episcopal Church. The Of
tering was divided between the Kings
Daughters and the Benevolent Society
of the town.
