Doctor Hilton brought- the action
to have the guardian named in York 1
county, where the child lives, and

diction. The lad has been living with .
Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Lee of Fort M?ll, |
jyith whom he was placed by his
father. j

decision would be carried to the cir
cuit court on appeal.
Proceedings to determine the cus- j
tody of the child prevxiously had been !

vorced from Hilton several years ago, |
A hearing was scheduled today before
Judge E. C. Dennis but was postipon- |
ed indefinitely to permit time for

? ?.-?jot, concerned.
It is expected, however, that Judge
Dennis will rendeV a decision later

still Camden is home to us, and
wherever we may go in the future,

best they knew how. Tt was deeply
appreciated by us and our families.
We also wish to thank our friends
for the beautiful floral tributes, which
always speak for themselves in a
time of sorrow. There rs a place In
our hearts and a chair in onr hom#
that will always he rrmpty Hut wn
have tender memories of the goodness
of the folks in New Jersey and the
folks back home to remember and
ch?ri?h always.
