- In speaking of Mr. Charles H. SINCELL, whose death from heart disease occurred 
on the 23d of last month, at Oakland, Md., the "Republican" of that place says:  
"The deceased was born on the 26th of July, 1838, in Frederick city, Md.  His 
father died when he was but four years of age and his mother when sixteen.  
He was foreman in the coach factory of Messrs. HOOD & HANE for eighteen years, 
and in 1874 came to Oakland and engaged actively in the carriage and wagon and 
general blacksmithing business with the Messrs. BROWNING Bros.  The following 
year he became sole proprietor and continued in the business up to the day of his 
death.  He was a prominent, useful citizen, loved by all who knew him.  He was a 
member of the Lutheran Church, and for many years an efficient member of the 
Evan. Lutheran Church Council.  He was a faithful humble christian, exemplary 
as a man and as a christian.  For the last several years he was a great sufferer 
at times, but he patiently and submissively bore all.  
     He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss.  
The funeral was the largest ever seen in Oakland though the weather was inclement.

- Mr. Andrew K. SHRIVER, a widely-known and much respected citizen of Carroll
county, died suddenly at his residence, at Union Mills, Saturday morning, 
aged 82 years.  He was related to the numerous SHRIVERS in Carroll, Frederick, 
and Allegany counties and in Baltimore city.  He was a brother of Mr. Joseph 
SHRIVER, president of the First National Bank of Cumberland, uncle to Mr. J. 
Alexander SHRIVER of Baltimore city, and Senator SHRIVER of Carroll county, 
and cousin to Gen. Edward SHRIVER, formerly of this city but, at present, 
water registrar at Baltimore.

- The sudden death of Mr. William J. TUCKER at his residence, on South Market
street, at the time of our going to press on Saturday, makes the sixth
occurrence of the kind within the last ninety days.  He complained of a
slight pain in his side at about noon on that day and laid down for a short
nap thinking to overcome this feeling by a little sleep.  When one of his
daughters passed through the room at about three o'clock she noticed an
unnatural look on the face of her father and made known her fears to her
mother, who upon going to the room found her husband dead.  Medical
assistance was called in but Death had too strong a hold on his victim to
be snatched of his prey by any mortal aid.  As was indicated by the
surroundings, he died without a struggle.  He was in the 70th year of his
age and leaves a wife and three grown children, a son and two daughters.
The deceased was a native of this city, and up to within twenty years ago
followed the occupation of contractor and builder, at which time he retired
from active life having amassed considerable property.  He was an active
member of the Methodist Episcopal church.  The funeral took place on Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock.

- Miss Julia Lee FINNEY who has been a sufferer from consumption for a long
time, died at the residence of her grandparents on South Market street
Tuesday evening, at nine o'clock.  Miss FINNEY was in the nineteenth year
of her age and was a prepossessing young lady, beloved by all who knew her.
She was engaged to be married in the spring, not believing her disease would
prove fatal, and during the long weary hours of her confinement passed the
time in preparing for the event by making dresses, etc., several of which
she completed.  The silk dress, made for the marriage occasion, will no
doubt prove her burial habiliment.  She leaves a sister and two aged grand-
parents, who looked upon her as their child, to mourn their loss.  Funeral 
this afternoon at three o'clock.

- Elizabeth SMITH / Sister Mary RAPHAEL, one of the best-known Sisters of 
Charity in this country, died Sunday night at St. Joseph's Academy, near 
Emmittsburg, this county.  Some months ago the fiftieth anniversary of her 
becoming a religious was celebrated, and testimonials of the respect in which 
she was held were sent from her former pupils, from sisters of the order, and 
the clergy in all parts of the country.  She spent the greater part of her life 
at St. Joseph's Academy, and was directress of the school for many years, only 
leaving that position at the close of the last session.  Her fine intellect, 
polished address and sympathetic nature, as well as her long service in the 
school, had endeared her to an unusually large number of those who had been 
her pupils, many of whom reside in Baltimore.  She never ceased to manifest 
an interest in them long after they had left the institution.  She was severely 
injured by a fall a few months ago.  
     Her family name was Miss Elizabeth SMITH.  She was a cousin of the late 
Dr. SMITH of New Orleans, and of Mother Euphemia, of St. Joseph's Academy.  
She has other relatives in other religious sisterhoods.
