52 IN MEMORIAM : 



After his return East he was for some time in Sleeper's 

 drug store, on Fifth street above George. The confinement 

 proving trying on his strength, it was followed by a Summer 

 at Sunnyside. There, in conjunction with George L. Maris, 

 he took charge of the yearly harvest home of the Royal 

 Spring Temperance Society, holding one of the most success- 

 ful meetings that the Society ever had. During the Summer 

 he took and passed several teachers' examinations, and in the 

 Winter of 1 86 1-2 taught a school on the main line of the 

 Pennsylvania Railroad, near where Devon now is. 



Most of the year 1862 was spent in the store of Isaac 

 Haldeman, at Newtown Square, Delaware County, Pa. In 

 the Winter of 1863 he was at home at 910 North Fifth street,

 matriculate for the University lectures for the term of 1863-64. 



Emma J. Fussell, the eldest daughter of Dr. Edwin 

 Fussell, had been an earnest nurse in the soldiers' hospital at 

 P'ourth and George streets, near her father's home. Since he 

 feared that her zeal would undermine her strength, he insisted 

 in the Summer of 1862 that she should take a rest. Reluct- 

 antly she started for Milton Fussell 's home, at Reeseville, for 

 a short stay, but the severe strain had already told. Shortlj^ 

 after arriving she was taken with a severe sickness that defied
