Blades, died at her home on Mariners Road Saturday night of last week, after a long illness. She was 88 years of age. She was born in Crisfield June 21st, 1871, the daughter of the late John and Julia Lankford Holland, and had lived here all her life. Mrs. Blades had had a busy and useful life. She was devoted to her family, and their care and well-being were her first consideration. But busy as she was in her own home, she found time to be neighborly, to help in times of trouble, sickness and distress, to do many little things for those she held in high esteem, to practice the tenets of her Christian faith day by day. She was for a long time a member of Mariners Methodist Church, and took an active part in its affairs for years. A member of old Somerset families, both by birth and marriage, she upheld the tradition of hospitality and helpfulness handed down from her forefathers, and enjoyed the high regard and affection of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She reposed at the Bradshaw & Sons Funeral Home here until Tuesday, when funeral services were held in Mariners Methodist Church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. H. M. Guyer, assisted by the Rev. W. H. Whalen, pastor of the Holiness Christian Church. Burial was in the Mariners Church Cemetery. Bearers were Sherman Holland, Thomas C. Blades, Sr., Raymond Nelson, E. Layton Riggin, Donald Blades and Donald Esslinger. Surviving her are eight children: Mrs. Elsie Nelson, Mrs. Avalon Riggin, Horace Blades and Gary Blades, all of Crisfield; Mrs. Bonnie Cord and Mrs. Gladys England of Alloy, W. Va.; Mrs. Nellie Carr and Stanford Blades of Baltimore; 15 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
