ternoon, June Goth, 1881, after a
lingering ILLNESS. Just as the
bright summer day was drawing to
a peaceful close, so his spirit took
its flight. He was born on the DR..
Ridgley farm, March 9Th, 1861, on
the road leading from Frederick to
FELTON,, Delaware. AS a child he at
tended school at Pratt's Branch and
Purnell's school, after which he

from here he moved with his par
ents to the farm which they bought
near Frederick where he attended
Laws public school until Is years

by's and Laws schools and attended
West Chester Normal for a short
period. Upon returning home he
taught for five years at Warren's
Consolidated Schools. He left the
field of work for which he had pre-
pared himself and went to Philadel-
phia, where he became collector for
the DR.. d. Jayne's old reliable med
ical company. While thus engaged

every state in the Union. In 1900
he returned to his native state and
married Anna, youngest daughter of

since then he has lived in Philadel-
phia and Doylestown. He was con-

Mrs. Ida Salevan Manlove, who
passed away in Wilmington on Sat
urday after intense suffering last
ing over a year, was one of Fred
erica's most highly esteemed citi-
zens, in her 72nd year. Many will
remember her cheerful administra-
tions of kindness in their homes
during hours of patient watchful-
ness over their loved ones. She
was so unselfish that she seemed to
forget self in her work for others
often sacrificing her strength. She
possessed sunny disposition
which never failed her when she
was nursing the conYalescent back
to health. She was a kind neigh
Dor and sympathetic. Often she
would sit an afternoon or night with
the sick to relieve a tired family.
After the loss of her husband,
which was rather sudden and short
ly after, the three brothers of hers
followed, it was noticed she was
failing. She will not only be miss
ed in her home but in the commun-
ity where she lived. She was active
in the Woman's Home Missionary
Society, Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, Sunshine Ladies' Aid
of M. E. church, and member of the
Sunday school, being a cOnscienti-
Gus worker in all the church sOcie-
ties. Mrs. Manlove was a member
Of Trinity M. E. church of this town.
She is survived by two daughters,
Miss Emma, a trained nurse, who
saw that all was done that human
hands could do to alleviate her
mothers suffering, and Mrs. Nan
also devoted to her moth
er, and two sons, George of Phila-
lelphia, and Charles of California.
The funeral services were conduct
ID from her late home by DR.. Her.
ION of Milford, and Rev. N. C. Ben
On, on Tuesday. The floral en- !
Dlems were many and beautiful, at
esting the affection in which the I
deceased was held. Interment in
