Edward Noble Vallandigham was of distinguished ancestry. His paternal forebears were sturdy Scotfh-Irl'h Presbyterians who settled first in Pennsylvania and later moved to Ohio, where ar. uncle was a candidate for governor of the State, and was conspicuous in the early sixties for hit advocacy of the State rights. On the maternal side, Mr. Val- landlgham's ancestors were Hugue nots and among the early of Virginia.

Ills father the Rev. James L. Vallandigham. who is still well re membered by Delavfarcans as a Pres byterian minister of Newark, was simultaneously the pa.stor of three churches in and adjacent to that town In the early fifties Head of Chrlttlana. White Clay Creek and Newark.

Later when the local Pres bytery sought to induee him to cen ter his pastoral work on one, his effort was embarrassed by Immediate, unan i nous calls from two of the congre gatlons. Dr. Vallandisham was a man of wide culture and erudition. At 16 he had completed his course in Jefferson Medical College and after teaching school as a means of re paying for his tuiMon in Philadelphia he read and practiced law a few, years at Pnow Hill, Maryland, and later studied theolcrgy at his former home New Lisbon, Ohio. His father was one of the outstanding Presbyterian ministers in Ohio.

Dr. Vallandigham was greatly be loved by the peeple Newark, mo-t of -hom it was said he had baptized married and prayer! for as they were laid to rst. He lived beyond thrc score years in the love and veneration of his townspeople a veritable patriarch, whose counsel and guidane? was sought by seekers for the bett'u way. Bern At Newark. Edward N.

Vallandigham was bom in Newark, on November 2. 131. ar.d was gradua'rl from Delaware College in the class of 1873. Alter receiv ing lils degree he followed his father's course and taught school in St. Genree hundred.

Aftr a year or two at the task he was to journalism and came to Wilmington and joined the staff of the Morning News then published bv Henry Conrad and Isaac R. Per.nypacker. In 1832 he shifted from the Morning News to th E'ry Evenintr where he succeeded William T. editor-in-chief. His edio'lal ability early made itself manifest and Mr.

Vallandigham was soon sought by metropolitan publishers. however, chose to Join Mr. Croasdale, who had removed to Baltimore and established aq, afternoon paper Tne Day but the connection was sexsn broken, and Mr. Vallandigham went with Mr. Croasdale to New York and became managing editor of Tne Star, the cCcial Democratic paper of the State He then became managing editor cf the Mail and Express.

New York, but later, with his retirement frcm the latter post. Mr. Vallandigham devoted himself to the higher forms of literature, contributing to and special articles on literature, social, political, and edu cational themes to Sunday newspapers. Like Mr. Croasdale, his close friend, he accepted the dcctnr.es of Henry George and wrote ardently on single tax.

Perhaps Mr. Vallandigham ability as a writer may be most accurately appraised by his "Delaware and East- em Shore," published 1322. a charming volume of sketches and stories of the people, and cf the land he loved better than any other in the world. He also published in 1320 "Fifty Years of Delaware College" which was issued on the semi-centennial of the reopening of the institution. In later years Mr.

Vallandigham contributed to the editorial columns of the Transcript, and the Herald and the New Yer World. Mr. Vallandigham married Avel.na Cranford and for the last quarter of a century cr more they have lived in Chestnut one ot the beautiful suburbo of Boston. The family removed to the Massachusetts capital when Mr. Vallandigham became head of an institution 'for the uplift and education of boys, which pc; he soc-a discovered was not within his "in time to resign" before he "had done any harm" as he apologetically expressed his retirement from a post for which he wa not fitted, i Since then the family has devoted much time to trau-1.

"They usually; alternate Surrmci.s abroad and at their ramp in the Aduondaiki. Mr. Vallandigham used to declare that he would willingly forego the pleasure or iureign travel to pasa part of each year in Newark, which he did for a number of seasons. He loved the old college town perhaps betier than any other place on earth. His affection for both induced him oaciept the professorship of English on Delaware College staff, a post he held for a few years, and finally relinquished when the finances of ir.e institution enabled it to pav approximately adequate salaries to its Mr.

Perhaps it was his pen that brought the beauties of the Eastern Shore to attention of the rest of the country, and resulted in the grdual s-equirt-iiient, of large acreages there and its evolution into superf country estates He knew every steamboat of the bay, and they hailed his an.n;al vimu uith Mr.vallandiskain was one oi threo of Dr. VaMuadisba-a.
