Milford chronicle., 1925-03-20
Glendale

morning that Mrs. Charles A. Pull
len. one of our aged and most re-
spected ladies, had passed away dur
ing the night. Mrs. Pullen had been
a great sufferer from asthma and
heart trouble for sometime; every
thing had been done which medical
skill could accomplish, coupled with
the nursing of devoted daughter.
No doubt her life was prolonged for
a longer time than it otherwise
would have been. She was one of
those kindly persons who never
grow old. Meeting everyone with a
smile and kindly greeting. She com
manded the love and respect OF all
who knew her. Her aged husband,
who is left behind, will sadly miss
her and it is a great pity this de-
voted couple had to be parted; when
both were so near the end of life's
Journey. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereaved
husband. daughter, sister and rela-
tives of the deceased. Arrangements
for the funeral had not been decid-
ed on at the date of this writing,
Tuesday afternoon,
We understand the state is beau
tifying a small piece of forest land
on the west side of the du POnt boul-
evard. near the residence of Oliver
Anderson. The low land has been
filled in with dirt, and it is proposed
to cover it with gravel and put Ia
bles and seats for the convenience
of tourists, who may wish to stop
and eat their lunches. This is step
in the right direction; but doesn't
go far enough. If the state will ac-
uuire title to six acres of swamp land
belonging to D. NJ. Donovan OF this
town and adjoining that piece OF
land already improved and then
proceed to beautify it by laying out
walks and other things necessary to
be done. it would prove to be one OF
the prettiest parks in Delaware. The
natural scenery now at this point IS
fine but with the skill of the land
scape gardener brought into play 1t
could be made simply beautiful.
The Ellendale Callithumpian Band,
Sam Fisher, leader, went to the
home of John R. Warren, Friday
night and serenaded Mr.. and Mrs.
Stayman Banning in the old fash
ioned way. The music rendered was
of a thrilling nature and had
marked effect on the inmates of the
home, who gladly opened their doors
and invited the players in, where an
abundance of cigars, bananas ana
aDples were served. After partak1ng
of the feast and wishing the newly
weds a long and prosperous life the
boys returned to their homes well
satisfied with their nights work.
There are several young men
from other points who are seen
prowling around this town. Sunday
nights some are even seen to enter
homes. We don't wish to accuse them
of highway robbery, or petty theft or
of an actual case of abduction, but
this much we do know, if something
- is not done to stop their coming,
when too late we will find out we
have lost several pieces of valuable
property, which we can ill-atford TO
let go. Keep your eye on them.
It is a shame that young ladies
(eyen school girls in their early
'teens) are allowed to stencil and
paint their faces with the poisonous
materials in vogue today. Some com
plexions would be beautiful If not
ruined by the use of these things.
Older ones are guilty of the same
offenses, and it is a pity they Will
allow themselves to have their faces
daubed I'D with paint which makes
them look worse than an Indian
souaw decorated for the tribal dance.
Did some one say, "old foggy?
In conversation the other day with
a gentleman from a nearby town ne
almost startled the writer by pro-
noi1nding the following question:
"Did YOU ever think that it takes
few first class funerals in some town
to start the wheels of progression.
That many places are held back and
kent from expanding on account OF
the selfish spirit manifested by some
of it's citizens" Can it be that this
is the situation in the town OF Ell
lendale? We hope not!
The committees appointed TO Sc
cure funds for the laying OF cement
pavements in front Of the church
and parsonage, met in White Hail.
Tuesday evening. 1t was decided to
hold a chicken pot pie supper about

play is spoken of highly by all those
who have had the pleasure OF seeing
it. and is considered fine from be-
ginning to the end. AS it is being |
rendered for the benefit of our hre |
laddies everyone should purchase a
ticket, whether they intend to go or
not. Our firemen have been faithful
and we don't know how soon we may
need their services again. Come and
help the boys.
