GEN. TORBERT ONCE
LIVED IN MILFORD
Soldier And Diplomat "BOEe With
out Abuse The Grand Old Name
OF Gentleman"

Hey, Townsend" The speaker is
stoutish man, rather tall, well
built. His is an interesting face;
cordial, friendly. One notices his
whitish skin and black hair. Cross
ing the street he takes the arm of
a young man, Townsend, and begins
a conversation. Especially does one
observe his suit which character
ICES him as an army man. His legs
which are slightly bowed, tell you
that he is probably a calvaryman.
Indeed, mis- whole nature indicates
an interesting man.
You have Travelled eight decades
into the past when there was just
such a man who figured prominent
ly in the Civil War and who later
came to Milford to live, General
Torbert.
General Alfred T, A. Torbert was
born at Georgetown, Delaware, on
July 1, 1888 AS his title suggests,
he has played an important role.
During the Civil War when a very
young man, he entered the army and
therein rose to the position of Ma
jor General of cavalry, a position
next in rang to that Of General
Sheridan who made that famous
ride along our seaboard.
Torbert's dashing days of warfare
over, he decided to settle in Milford,
taking the house at the southwest
corner of Second and Walnut streets
now the Mulholland apartments.
An army man is a rowing man.
His position changes ever so often.
So it was with General Torbert At
the close of the Civil War he was
sent to France as Consul-General
and later served the same position
in Havana, Cuba 1t was while en-
route to the City of Mexico with
some contracts for a new railroad
that the steamer upon which he was
sailing, "The City of Vera Cruz"
was wrecked. Practically all of the
were drowned on this
thirtieth of September, 1888. Later
his body washed ashore along the
coast of Florida, as did the others,
giving up the tragic story of the
wreck. Reverently his body was
brought back to Milford Tor burial.
Philadelphia's entire army force
came down in a body in all their
splendid regalia, attended the fu-
neral at the Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal Church, and accompanied the
body to it's resting place, the old
Methodist cemetery, near the old
school. His big granite tombstone
stands not six feet from the street.
On the back of the stone is an i'm
mortal tribute, "He bore without
abuse the grand old name of gen
tleman." About the center Of the |
stone is engraved sword inter
twined in a wreath set above nine
stars. Beside him lies his wife, the |
former Miss Mary Currey an aunt
Of Chief Justice Pennewill. She liv- !
ed many years after General Tor
Dert's death at her home in Milford. |
To be carried back into the past
IS at times very agreeable SEN
;ation. Certainly 1 owe thanks to
Colonel Townsend who has giGen
ne the data and this pleasure of

many that they have to be sent

around with him. Now, that's pop
ularity. Joe likes football and all
the other sports. He is not mis-

shy and not at all boisterous or

LOCAL MERCHANT
COLLECTS STAMPS
IN LEISURE TIME
Large And Interesting Collection
Started When A Boy

The hobbies of many people pro-
vide physical exercise, but George
Perry, of the Grant Stores, has a
hobby that is very interesting al
though it does not give physical eX-
ercise. 1t is stamp collection.
Mr.. Perry has been interested in
the collecting of stamps ever since
he can remember. His interest was
started by an older brother who had
started the collection of stamps. He
died and the next older brother took
the collection and kept adding to it.
The second brother finally lost in
terest as the fad died out and Mr.
Perry took the collection and work
ed on it all through grammar
school. Upon reaching high school
he found as many of us do, that
there was much else to occupy his
time. So his mother took books,
stamps and catalogues, did them up
in a bundle and put them in the at
tic; where they remained till he re-
turned from the World War.
While in France Mr.. Perry had no
time to even touch a stamp, but af-
ter the Armistice he went to Con-
stantinople where he had to wait d
month for a ship. To pass the time
away during this month he spent
much time ON Step street. This is a
street on which there are many
steps as it goes up a hill and on
this street are many little stamp
shops.
Once on board his boat for home
Mr.. Perry started arranging his
stamps in a book he had purchased
for that purpose. His boat stopped
at Genoa, Venice, Rome, and Flor
ence during the trip and at each of
these ports he added a few more
stamps to his collection. During the
passage across the Atlantic he fin
ished arranging the stamps in his
book.
Having told the interviewer of
these interesting events in his life
he offered to show me few of his
stamps. At the top of the first page
of the book he choose to show me
Franklin five cent stamp which was
printed around 1847 and is one of
the first regular issue of United
States stamp. The fact that stamps
have been struck off in commemora-
tion of most all historical person
ages and events is shown by a
Washington two cent stamp that |
has been surcharged in memory of
Molly Pitcher. Several stamps in
the collection have the abbreyia-
tions of Kansas ON them, others |
have Nebr. for Nebraska. Mr.. Perry |
explained that this was an expert
ment tried by the Government to
prevent the stealing of stamps as a
stamp with the name of a state ON
it could only be used in the State
which the name designated. The
first air mail stamp for parcel post
issued about 1910 is also in the col
lection along with the Internal Rev.
enue stamps which paid for the
Civil and Spanish Wars. One of
these, a fifty. cent stamp, is the most
valuable stamp Mr.. Perry has in his
collection. Speaking of valuable
stamps a single stamp recently sold
for $4,000, it was the only one of
its kind in the world.
Another stamp is quite curiosity
it pictures the four ways in which
mail has been carried. The pony eX-
press rider is in one corner, in the
center is a train, overhead is an air.
plane and on the other side of the
railroad track is a steamship COM
