Blades, Sr., one of the community's most highly respected elder citizens, died suddenly at his home on Mariners Road early last Saturday evening. He was nearing his 84th birthday. Although his health had not been too good for several years, his death was unexpected. He was born in 1865, the son of the late Seth and Emily Sterling Blades, and for most of his years, many of them filled with adventure, he was a follower of the water, and captain of some of the big sailing vessels of bygone years. Until his health began to fail he continued to sail the inland waters and was well known in Maryland and Virginia tidewater areas. Mr. Blades had many sterling qualities which made for him enduring friends. He was energetic, industrious, and successful; a man of his word, who performed many deeds of kindness quietly and was always glad to be of help to others. News of his death has been received with sincere sorrow by those who knew him and the community generally. Funeral services, which were largely attended, were held in Mariner's Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, with Rev. L. L. Knotts, the pastor, and Rev. Melvin E. Wheatley, Rev. E. L. Bennett and Rev. Robert Green officiating. Interment was in the cemetery adjoining the church. The many lovely floral pieces sent to honor his memory were tokens of the general affection and esteem in which he was held. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Laura Holland Blades and eight children, Mrs. Elsie Nelson, Mrs. Avalon Riggin, Mrs. Bennie Cord, Gary Blades, Jr., Stanford Blades and Horace Blades, all of Crisfield, and Mrs. Nellie Carr and Mrs. Gladys England of Baltimore. One half-sister, Mrs. Minnie (Fred) Gerald, of Crisfield, and one half-brother, Merrill Blades, also of Crisfield, 18 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren also survive.
