Edward Cecil Besselieu,

1u"dAu SCCh DCSSCuCuS
prominent and well known res
ident of Wilmington and Orange
Springs, Florida, passed away
quietly at his home, 206 Ann

he spent his early childhood in
the true surroundings of the old
South. He later resided in Sa-
vannah, Ca, where, as young

Feeling the call of adventure
and new frontiers in the West,
he in the year 1884 left for New
Mexico. In the following years
he carved a name for himself
as rancher, hotel owner, clerk
of the court and finally judge in
Lincoln, New Mexico. A highly
respected member of that COM
munity, he climaxed his Sue
cess with his marriage, in 1888,
to the charming Emma Smith
of St. Louis, Missouri.
Shortly afterWard, in compa-
ny with his bride, he returned
to Savannah and his beloved
Southland. In the years that
followed he moved, with his
growing family, to Wilmington
and established himself with
the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road.
Retiring from his official ca
pacity with the Atlantic Coast
Line in 1881 he spent his time
between Florida and North Car
DINA, devoting his interests to
historical literature and poetry.
