				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How does an entire family disappear?  There is literally no trace of this family after the 1850 census taken in Rockville, Maryland. </p>
<p><strong>Sarah Ann Robinson Worthing Clarke </strong> married <strong>Robert Delzell</strong> on February 15, 1848 in Frederick, MD.  Delzell has several spelling variants and I have tried them all!</p>
<p>In August of 1850 the family in residing in Rockville, Maryland:</p>
<p>Robert Delzell (b. ca 1825) &#8211; head of house</p>
<p>Sarah Delzell (b. ca 1830) wife</p>
<p>James Delzell (b. ca 1848) son</p>
<p>Elizabeth Clarke (b. ca. 1794) mother-in-law</p>
<div id="attachment_983" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 1024px"><a href="http://tracemyorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Capture.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-983" title="1850 Census" src="http://tracemyorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Capture.png" alt="" width="1014" height="172" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1850 Census Rockville, MD</p></div>
<p> From a family bible I know that they had several other children</p>
<p><strong>James W. N. Delzell</strong> (twin) b. 17 Dec 1848</p>
<p><strong>Frances W. R. Delzell </strong> (twin) b. December 17 Dec 1848 &#8211; she does not appear on the census perhaps she was decesed by 1850</p>
<p><strong>Mary Ellen Delzell</strong> b. 23 Nov 1849 &#8211; d. 12 Dec1849</p>
<p><strong>Charles Ridgely Delzell</strong> b. 13 Feb 1851 &#8211; d. 18 Jul 1851</p>
<p><strong>Amanda Milvina Fitzellen Delzell</strong> b. 16 May 1852</p>
<p><strong>Robert Basil Delzell</strong> b. 12 Jan 1854</p>
<p>Did all of the children pass away?  Looks like they suffered several deaths of infants. Since the mother Sarah got married again I assume that her husband also passed away sometime bet. 1850 and 1855.</p>
<p>On 18 Oct 1855,  <strong>Sarah Ann Robinson Worthington Clarke Delzell</strong> would marry <strong>John F. Carder in Allegany, Maryland.</strong></p>
<p>After that I cannot find them anywhere.  Can anyone offer any clues?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a previous post <a href="http://tracemyorigin.com/2012/03/tombstone-tuesday-im-ready-now/">http://tracemyorigin.com/2012/03/tombstone-tuesday-im-ready-now/</a> I shared the heart breaking story of the death of  little Horace Miller Clarke, 5 year old. The chilling inscription on his tombstone simply stated &#8220;I&#8217;m ready now.&#8221;  Intrigued by the three simple words I continued researching and found this telltale article regarding his death:</p>
<p>THE FORKED DEER BLADE JACKSON,TENNESSEE SATURDAY   JUNE 11,1887</p>
<p>LITTLE MILLER..five year old son of Mr.&amp; Mrs.HORACE N.CLARK, died in Milan Monday and was buried Tuesday. Rev.Dr.WEAVER conducting the services, Before the little sufferer died he called his mother and father, grandfather and grandmother (Mr.&amp; Mrs.MILLER) to his bedside, and after kissing each one good bye, said,&#8221;now I&#8217;m ready to go.&#8221; &#8220;Angels were waitiing to receive him and his pure soul took its flight.&#8221;  A special train went up from Jackson carrying a large number of friends of Mr.&amp; Mrs.CLARK, who wished to attend the funeral. Mr.W.D.ROBINSON, the undertaker,went up Monday afternoon and embalmed the body, and was as expected, its appearance was not charged up to the time of the funeral. The little child looked as lifelike as if he had only fallen asleep. Mr.ROBINSON had charge of the funeral and cars were provided on which he carried his horses, carriages and elegant white hearse, and after the funeral, they were returned to Jackson the same way.</p>
