One of the oldest lumber merchants in Philadelphia, Frank C. Gilling- 

 ham, president and founder of the Frank C. Gillingham & Son Company. 

 Richtnond and Norris streets, died on October 30, at the age of seventy- 

 four years. The loss is much regretted in lumber circles here, as Mr. 

 Gillingham had been for so long a familiar and important factor in the 

 lumber trade, esteemed throughout for his business ability, activity and 

 unimpeachable integrity. It is the custom of the Ijumbcrmen's Exchange, 

 on the last afternoon of the old year to observe the occasion by a social 

 reunion featured by an elaborate luncheon and entertainment of varied 

 character. In 1011 the affair took the form principally of an ovation 

 to Mr. Gillingham, as at that time he had completed his littletli year 

 in the lumber business, and many were the complimentary tributes which 

 he received in honor of his long and efficient career among them. 



During the Civil war Mr. Gillingham served as first lieutenant of the 

 119th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was an active member 

 of the military order of the Loyal Legion. He was a member of the 

 Lumbermen's Exchange and of the Union League from its inception 

 many years ago, and for a number of years one of its directors. He was 

 elected president of the Sawdust Club, a select organization of lumber- 

 men who are also members of the Union League, from its beginning, and 

 continued in the office up to his death. Mr. Gillingham w-as ever noted 

 for his deep interest in charitable organizations of his city, giving freely 

 of his time and money. He was a widower and leaves three children, 

 two sons, one of whom was at one time connected with the firm, and a 

 daughter. Mr. Gillingham had a beautiful home at .'5401 Wayne avenue. 

 Germantown. 



Death of Bedna Young 



llrdua Young of Young & Cutsinger, Evansviile, Ind.. met a sudden 

 and tintimely death on Friday. October 6, due to a collision between a 

 new automobile, which be with a maeliinist was demoustr.ating. and a 

 passenger train on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad. The acci-

 tion of Mor.gan avenue and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad. Mr. 

 Young had just purchased a new car and, accompanied by Mr. Bcrendes, 

 was taking his initial ride. At the point where the accident occurred there 

 are several parallel tracks, the crossing being at the north end of the 

 Uelt yards. Tlie main line of the railroad runs along the east side of the 

 yards. The crossing was blocked by cars being moved about by a switch 

 engine. They Imd stopped before going onto the tracks to await an 

 opening to go across. It is supposed that the noise of the switch 

 engine drowned the whistle of the approaching passenger train, and 

 without being aware of any danger the automobile was driven onto the 

 track, resulting in its complete destruction, the instant death of Mr. 

 Young and probably fatal injuries to the mechanic.

 and started in the lumber business at Edinburg. He later moved to- 

 Grammer where he was associated with Daniel Wcrtz, now of Malcy &
