On the 24th of November, I858, the marriage of Mr. Eldredge and Miss Emma T. C. Baker. a daughter of Daniel Baker, a Delaware bay pilot, of Philadelphia, was celebrated. The second child of our subject and wife was Harry S. Eldredge, whose bright, promising life came to an untimely end on the I2th of March, I888. during the terrible storm which swept this coast. Like his forefathers and relatives, he had mastered the pilot’s business, and it so happened that he was the only Delaware pilot lost during that gale. He left a young wife, Lida (Van Vinkle) Eldredge, and a host of sincere friends who deeply mourn his loss. Harriet S.. the eldest daughter of our subject, became the wife of Daniel E. Stevens, a Delaware pilot, and resides at Cape May. Their son Harry is now a student at Bellefonte College. Belle fonte, Peimsylvania; and Ida, the daughter, is attending school at Cape May. Eliza K., the third child of our subject, is the wife of William R. Sheppard. who has retired from business activities and makes his home at Cape May. Thomas, the fourth in order of birth (a gold-beater by trade), chose Elizabeth Parsons, of Millville, New Jersey, for a wife and they have one child, William Leone by name. Emma T., the youngest, is with her parents at home. All of our subject’s children were given good educational advan tages, a credit to their family and to the community in which they reside.
