CAPE MAY STAR AND WAVE Saturday, July 19th, 1919

REV. JOHN W. NICKELSON The Reverend John W. Nickelson, pastor of the First Methodist: Epiecopal Church of this city, died in the Hubnemann Hospital in Philadelohia lust | Thursday at 11:80 PM. His death caused by a complication of diseas Funeral services will"be conducted from the Gloucester City . Methodist Church, where he had held his charge, prior to coming here. The interment will be performed at Sharpstown, Mra. n a , was a native of Cape May County, baving been born at Eldora. In the short time that he was here, his unusual ability as a minister of | the gospel was shown by an increased attendance in the church, His pleasant manner and sincerity of natur» es tablished him at once in the hearcs of Cape May people. A mun of his absolite honesty and faith is rare, und his loss is greatly regretted, most particularly . by | his congregation. mes- | The | go-tothe-right . signs . which. have been placed at the c:mmers of! the town where there is the most traffic are a distinct detriment to the improvement of traffic conditions, rather than an aid. Ordinarily, this aystem of regulating vehicles proves sat isfactory, but the streets of Cape May are so narrow that going to the right of the posts is very difficult, and in the case of large cars and trucks, it is practically | impossible. — Many ears are forced to back before they ean effect the turn, This, of course The posts are . being: constantly knocked down and damaged by automobiles unable to go between them and the street curbs. Instances have also been cited where traffic regulation on the beach is inefficient. If this condition exists, it should be remedied at once. Let us have traffic direction that regulates, rather than complicates. meaThe pavements of Cape May are a direct contradiction to its borsts of progressiveness and modernity. | It is safe to say that in no other place of this city‘s status will there be feund such wretched thoroughfares. Crooked brick pavements, with loose bricks lying about are plentiful, and gombined with the flagstone walks, which are built in a series of different levels, comprize a large percentage of the city sidewalks. As bad as these conditions are, there are worse. Imagine, if you can, a fashionable senside resort, having grass and weeds growing on its sidewalks in profusion, not only in its outlying districts, but on the principal business street. Such a condition mecessarily creates m very poor impression of the town, leading one, to believe it DECADENT, and ite inhaiitants lacking in energetic qualities. This matter was taken up by the Board of Commissioners recently, and some action will probably be taken in a short time. | Action | must | be taken. We have never noticed an instance of city growth where weeds were permitted to thrive in its busimess section. < If there is an ordinance regulating these matters enforce #. If none such exists, create it. Let us have cement | par without decorations in the way . of grass and weeds. --- «mege.__ Food prices rairing here, and drop pine in Germany.

OBITUARY . _ Charles Sherman Key, son of the Sate Sergeant Charles Key, a former resident here, was stricken with pneum nia in Atlantic City, and died at the city hospital last week. His mother, from Cape May, and wife, were present at his bedside at

the time of his death. The deceased was a skilled mechanician, whose excellent personal qualitics mude him a host of friends, The interment was made last Sunday, at the Mount Peace Cemeter Carden, N. J. MAYFLOWER DES IN CAPE MAY COUNTY By Rev, Paul Sturtevant Howe, Ph.D, | -- | Genealogical Articles by the Rector |of the Church of the Advent. This is the fourth of a series of | Genealogical Articles by . Dr. Howe. They are growing in popularity with leach instailment, and in answer to [public demand, Dr. Howe will prob |ably continue them . throughout the summer. The Order of Founders and Patriots of America, of which Order the author is Past Chaplain General, requires as a condition | of | admission descent in the male line of father or mother from an ancestor who settled in one of the thirteen original colonies within fifty years from the | settlement of Jamestown, Va., May 13, 1607, and through the same line only, through patriots in the Revolationary period, but not of necessity through those who rendered military service. In other words, the Founder ancestor must have settled in Amerien before 1657, and the male ancestor of the same line must have been loyal to the of the Colonies at the time of the Revolution, The difficult require ments of this Order are met by a large number of residents of Cape May County, and it is a pleasant duty of the author as a member to point out this fact and to offer assistance to any one who wishes to join this Order. The date May 18, 1607 is accepted as the ‘beginning of permanent colonization in America, and thedescendants of ancestors who came during the following fifty years are considered th.. oldest stock in America, whether from the Jamestown -or | Plymouth settlements. ‘These articles, however, ave concerned with the Pilgrim ancestr, of Cape May County, and are not historical, biographical or genealogical except so far as the Mayflower descent is interwoven in the family histories. . The scholarly investigations ‘of Mr. S. Gordon Smyth in the early history of the whalemen, | and biographical literature of the County. These present articles are marrow in [scope, and in tracing out the lines to Plymouth Rock freely make use of the work: done before, adding. the connecting link which was not in the ‘scope of the purpose of former writert. It is regrettable that | Mr. S. Gordon Swyth‘sarticles on the whale men are not printed in phamplet form -there is an: usdoubted demend fav [this ‘careful inupstivation. Edmunds Descendants of John Howland, the Mayflower Pilgrim Jeremiah Edmunds, born 1761, mar[ried as his first wife Mrs. Jane Whilldin Hughes, . widow | of Humphrey Hughes, who died at sea about 1778.

u ing an excellent chicken dinner to 41 men, composing the two hase . ball teams and the marine band. | The dinner was all that hungry men, with appetites well stimulated by exercise on the base ball diamond, could wish for, and‘was furnished at a price which was ‘Just about one . half what is usually charged for such service. > On a recent Sunday evening Mrs. Nittinger furnished ice cream and en-| tertainment to sixty service men. Doubtless there are other hotel pro-| ippmctdioids sivieredionninedibnnndionnd furnishing hospitality to the service will be glad to hear of such. GOOU HUMOR ABGUNDS IN MANY WAR RISK LETTERS Meny persons appeal to War Camp Community Service for information regarding allotments. Some cf the letters are often pathetic, many . of them extremely humorous. The following excerpts were taken from the latter kind: "We have another war baby in our house. How much more do I get?" "Dear Mr. McAdoo: I have a wife and four children. Should I have more or less?" "Please send me my allotment. . 1 have a little baby and knead it every day. "You have taken my man away to fight and he was the best fighter I ever had; now you will have to keep me or if you don‘t who in h-- will?" "My boy is in France, where he is

lable to be hurried into maternity any minute." "My boy has been put in charge! of a spittoon. . Will I get more money now ?" "Please send me a wife‘s form." "Please let me know if Jobn had put

in his application for a wife and child." "I am writing to ask why I have not received | my . elopment | money. His money was kept from him for the elopement 1 never received." "I have a four-months-old baby and he is my orly support."
