James Rea
After being ill for some time, from a general breaking of health, James Rae 
died yesterday afternoon at his home at Lyndell, aged 70 years.  Mr. Rea was 
highly esteemed in that neighborhood, where he had been in business for thirty 
years or thereabouts, and was for a long time postmaster.  He attended 
Hopewell M.E. 
Church, in East Brandywine, and had served as a Trustee there.

He belonged to Lyndell Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, and took active part in 
the proceedings.  In addition, he was a former President of the Live Stock 
Insurance Company of that neighborhood, and for a number of years collected 
the dues of members who lived near him.

Mr. Rea is survived by his wife, a daughter of the late Henderson Talley, of 
West Chester, and one daughter, Miss Emma D. Rea, at home.

There is also a sister, Mrs. George Thomas, of Wayne.
