Yesterday he had been much improved and was able to be about his house and grounds, but was later taken suddenly worse and death resulted after several hours. He leaves a widow, who was formerly Miss Phoebe Whitson, of Christiana. He leaves one daughter, Miss Elizabeth, residing at home, on what is known as the "Tannery" property. One daughter has been deceased for a number of yours and there is one son, George C., of Marshallton, who had long been associated in business with his father. For any years the deceased conducted a prosperous tannery business at the mill operated by himself and son of late years as a flouring mill. The work of the establishment gained a wide reputation, not only in this section but in foreign States and towns as well.
