Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18


death was quite a shock to the COM
munity. Funeral services took
place from his late residence on Cen
ter street, Monday afternoon at o.
clock. Rev. e. H. Collins, pastor of
the local M. E. Church, was in
charge of the services. Interment in
Hollywood cemetery, near Harring-
ton. The deceased is survived by a
widow, Mrs. Addie V. Satterfield and
three daughters, Mrs. c. w. Schantz
of Smyrna, Miss Mary Satterfield,
teacher in the public schools at Del
aware City, and Miss Margaret Sat-
terfield of Harrington. 1t is recalled
that this is the third death on Cen
ter street, a street of but two blocks
within the past six months. Only one
home separated the Satterfields from
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest w. Dean where
death occurred to George B. Taylor
the father of Mr.. Dean. 1t is a
strange coincident that all 'hree
deaths occurred on Friday.
Motor Truck Burns
With Fire Prevention Week near
ing a close the Harrington firemen
have been able to keep their slate
clean thus far during the week in
the town limits. They have made
two runs in the rural sections. The
second call was received Friday eve
ming shortly after midnight, when
they were summoned to the FELTON,
Service Station, at FELTON,, where a
truck loaded with unfinished furni-
ture for Cambridge, Nd, caught fire
while being filled with gasoline. The
attendants at the service station
pushed the burning truck on the
highway away from the station and
the Harrington firemen with the use
of Foamite and the Booster system,
extinguished the blaze. The truck
was badly burned though some parts
of it can be salvaged. The truck bore
Maryland license No. S04402 and was
driven by Charles Mack, colored. He
stated the motor was not running
while it was being filled with gas.
The truck was owned by Philip G.

loaded from the truck before it was
burned.
