Ford, died at the Opitz Nursing Home in Baltimore on Monday evening at the age of 90 years. She had been a resident of the Home for the past two years. She was the daughter of the late Benjamin and Nancy Nelson and the widow of the late William H. Ford. Mrs. Ford had been an active woman until a few years ago when ill health curtailed her activities. She had lived with her husband and family on Chesapeake Avenue for many years, and had been a fine neighbor and friend whose fine qualities were appreciated by all who knew her. Her great interest in life had been in her husband and family, but she always was ready to lend a helping hand to others and endeared herself to many by her deeds of kindness. She had been interested in church activities until age and illness restricted these activities. Funeral services were held at the home of her son, Mr. Horace Ford, on Columbia avenue, this city, on Thursday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock, conducted by the pastor of her church, Dr. Melvin E. Wheatley, and interment was beside the body of her husband in Asbury cemetery. She is survived by five sons, Wm. H. Ford, of Washington, D. C., B. Horace Ford of Crisfield, Sherman U. Ford, V. Nelson Ford and J. Otis Ford, of Baltimore, two brothers, John M. Nelson, Newport News, Va., and William D. Nelson of Delmar, Md., and two sisters, Mrs. Maggie Ward and Mrs. Susan Ward of Crisfield.
