Mr. RILEY was much esteemed by all who knew him and the fact of his being constable for over forty years indicates his popularity as a public official. Mr. RILEY was nearly eighty years of age at the time of his death. His wife died only some three weeks since. Very few persons fill an elective position as long and as satisfactorily as Mr. RILEY did. ---------- Barbara [ADAMS], wife of John ADAMS, deceased, and daughter of John HEISER, deceased, late of West Earl township, died on the 15th of February last, at the residence of her son, in Warwick township, aged 79 years, 10 months, and 9 days. She was the mother of 13 children-10 boys and 3 girls, all living except one boy.

The deceased had been quite hearty and active, until about four years ago, when she lost her sight, since which time she sank gradually until the day of her death. All the food that she took during the five weeks preceding her death, was about two spoonfuls of very thin broth; she, however, drank occasionally a little water. She was in full possession of her faculties (except seeing) until her death. Her descendants so far as it is positively known, are 11 children, 52 grandchildren, 89 great- grandchildren, 4 great great-grandchildren, total 156; but it is supposed that the number of great-grandchildren and great great- grandchildren are both somewhat larger. Of these, 8 children, 39 grandchildren, 72 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren survive her. This is a large number of descendants, when we take into consideration that 4 of her children are unmarried, and another without any children. ---------- The Lancaster Intelligencer: Wed. 30 Mar. 1870: Page 3: Deaths MAGRAW.-On the 25th inst., in West Nottingham township, Cecil county, Md., Mrs. Emily HOPKINS[?], relict of the late Henry S.
