Posted to the MDFREDER-L@rootsweb.com by abbybowman I thought this might help someone. Pat -T ____ Weekly News, Frederick MD, March 6, 1884 In speaking of Mr. Charles H. SINCELL, whose death from heart disease occurred on the 23d of last month, at Oakland, Md., the "Republican" of that place says: "The deceased was born on the 26th of July, 1838, in Frederick city, Md. His father died when he was but four years of age and his mother when sixteen. He was foreman in the coach factory of Messrs. Hood & Hane for eighteen years, and in 1874 came to Oakland and engaged actively in the carriage and wagon and general blacksmithing business with the Messrs. Browning Bros. The following year he became sole proprietor and continued in the business up to the day of his death. He was a prominent, useful citizen, loved by all who knew him. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and for many years an efficient member of the Evan. Lutheran Church Council. He was a faithful humble christian, exemplary as a man and as a christian. For the last several years he was a great sufferer at times, but he patiently and submissively bore all. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss. The funeral was the largest ever seen in Oakland though the weather was inclement. Mrs. Ellen DOLL, who was summoned to the burial of her nephew, C. H. SINCELL, Oakland, Md., returned home yesterday evening.

Thanks for sharing this, Pat. It just reminds me that the current owner/publisher/editor of the Oakland Republand, Don Sincell, fits the description of his ancestor, Charles H. And the family are still members of the Lutheran Church in Oakland. Connie > Weekly News, Frederick MD, March 6, 1884 > > > In speaking of Mr. Charles H.
