FRANK EHLEN

  Frank Ehlen, for a number of years engaged in the mercantile business and coal 
mining at Salisbury and Meyersdale, departed this life at Towson, Md., in the 
76th year of his age, on December 30th, 1929, after a protracted and painful 
illness.  He was a lovable man, an outstanding husband and father of the old 
school.
  For over a quarter of a century he lived in the Long Green Valley between Loch 
Raven and Towson, and during all these years maintained a home known for its 
hospitality, and reared a family, all of whom have been intimately associated 
with the social and public life of that entire community.  His home life was 
ideal.  His wife, to whom he was devotedly attached, was his inspiration and 
help through the struggles of his early years, and during that portion of his 
life when retirement and ease were his, and until his death, was his constant 
and loved companion.
  Mr. Ehlen was justly regarded as a splendid businessman.  He was successful 
and achieved the success he enjoyed through his personal ability and untiring 
efforts.
  He was a director of the Towson National Bank.  The officers, employees and 
his fellow directors appreciated from the time he became affiliated with the 
bank as a director, his wise counsel and sound advice.  Those who knew him, will 
never cease to cherish his memory, and those who did not, have missed a very 
high and pleasant privilege.
