Clara Marvel and Charles Mahoney 1889

Above from the Wilmington Morning News February 25, 1889

Clara Elizabeth Marvel (1872-1950) was the daughter of William S Marvel, the undertaker in Delmar, and his wife Sallie Hearn Marvel.  Charles Henry Mahoney (1863-1944) was the son of Henry M. Mahoney (1826-1889) and Angelina Wilkerson Mahoney (1836-1871) of Milford.  The couple would move to Glenolden, Pennsylvania where Charles would work as a telegraph operator for the B and O railroad, retiring in 1932.  After Charles passed away Clara would move back to Delmar and take up residence in the house at 7 E. Jewell St that her sister, Mary Agnes, and Brother-in-law, Clarence Hezekiah Matthews, had owned.  Both Clara and Charles are buried in St Stephens cemetery as are most of the Marvel family.
