      Madeline M. Bothell Eudy, 1917?1996
      Son of Joseph F. Bothell Sr. and Elizabeth Stanley.

      Husband of Mary Ella Bryant Bothell.

      Father of Joseph F. Bothell III, William R. Bothell, Richard A. Bothell and Charlotte M. Cherriman.

      He worked in the Sun Oil Refinery during World War II while farming his land near Smyrna in the evenings. Mr. Bothell moved his family to California in 1959, but he and his wife returned to Delaware after his 1973 retirement to be near their children and grandchildren.

      He was a talented artist who started drawing in his early years and painted in his spare time throughout his life. His paintings have been shown and sold across the United States. His other hobbies included building and flying model airplanes, woodworking and traveling.

      Mr. Bothell was a loving husband and father who left a legacy of hard work and honesty to his family.

      During his 92 years, he saw the world progress from fields worked by horse drawn plows to sending men into space. Maxwell Anderson's quotation, "There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime," would describe his life.
