He also owns considerable property, much of which comprises farmlands in this section of DE, there being a total of seven farms of 973 acres, and is interested in the banking and hotel businesses. A descendant of an old and well established family of this section, Mr. Lank is one of the really substantial members of this community. He is a member of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, Kiwanis Club, Methodist Protestant Church. He is considered as one of the outstanding business men of Seaford and vicinity and one of the really progressive men in this community. He is regarded with respect and esteem by those with whom he comes in contact in his business, civic and social relationships. In addition to his other work, Mr. Lank is interested in the fire insurance business, representing Kent County Mutual Fire Insurance Company" (W. L. Beven, 1929).

John F. Bobenmeyer was reared to manhood in Pennsylvania, whence he came to Ohio and numbered himself among the pioneer settlers of Butler county. Eventually he removed to Darke County, and there he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives. / Maude was from Ohio and met Will when visiting relatives in Seaford. Lived next door to AJ. Maude was a very frugal individual, with many habits taken from her settler grandparents, who had traveled by covered wagon from PA to OH. When Maude asked AJ to change a light bulb, Lizzie asked facetiously if she used 15 watt bulbs. AJ replied that was incorrect. She used 7 1/2 watt bulbs! Merle remembers Maude's cat, Josephine, and the afternoon naps Aunt Maude had on the newspapers spread out as a bed on her living room floor. "Maude is active in numerous women's clubs and organizations" (W. L. Beven, 1929).

Albert met Lizzie when he was best man at wedding of Charles Hearn, who married Lizzie's sister Annie. Courting Lizzie was a long-distance affair and meant having the carriage horse have its head while AJ slept on the way back home from Parsonsburg, MD. Merle Williams has the letters Albert sent to Lizzie in which he 'made his case' for courting--Lizzie may have been playing hard to get. She also relayed the story of how her Pop-Pop drew from memory and a little research a Coulborn family chart to link her best friend, a Coulborn, into the Lank family, because this was Merle's favorite playmate and she wanted to be related! Merle also asked Pop-pop where his middle name came from, and he replied it came from a friend of his father's.

AJ worked as rural mail carrier, farmer, and owned a feed store, sporting goods and confectionary store at varying times. Shucked oysters at a Fulton's Market Restnt in NYC 1900, making $1/week. Avid hunter and expert skeet shooter. He sold Winchesters in his sporting goods store, and was a well-known huntsman, taking many well-known personalities on hunting outings. His routine as a rural mail-carrier was to sort the mail that had come in to the depot by train at 10 AM, return home to Lizzie at 1130 AM for lunch, and then set out in his mail carriage on his route through Woodland, DE, to Galestown, MD, switching horses halfway. Daughter Julia remembers riding along one day as a little girl. An earlier route took him to Concord. When he was sitting in his living room chair in his 80's, daughter Julia asked, "What are you thinking about, Dad?" He replied he was just thinking about all the names of his postal customers and their children on the Concord route. Until he died, he still possessed a magnificent memory.

Founding member of Seaford VFD. Elected to Town Council and was the town magistrate for several years. Strong Democrat and had a keen memory until his death. He was a regular Sunday attendee at Mt. Olivet Church and sat in the same pew.

Seaford Leader obituary (1968) and its 'Seaford People You Should Know' article (1960) : "Albert Jackson Lank, 93, one of Seaford's oldest residents, died Tuesday in the Maple Grove Convalescent Home, Millsboro, after a long illness.

Mr. Lank was born on a farm near Seaford along what is now 'River Road.' A son of the late Robert and Julia Lank, he was the third of eight children, seven boys and one girl. He attended the old Washington School about a mile from Seaford. Until he was twenty-one he worked at the family farm, then he left Seaford to take a job as streetcar conductor in Philadelphia. "Those days weren't like they are now. You couldn't get a fancy specialized job, especially a country boy", said Mr. Lank in 1960. After three years in Philadelphia he moved to New York to enter the oyster business. After a year he married Lizzie, set up housekeeping on Market St., and continued with the job in New York. In March 1902 he returned to Seaford and bought the old Fred Owens store on High Street. This was a small confectionary store under the old Seaford Opera House on the corner of Market and High Streets. That end of town in those days was the hub of Seaford's business world. Mr. Lank added a line of sporting goods to his business, selling guns, ammunition and baseball equipment for the then very active Eastern Shore Leagues. To this confectionary, tobacco and sporting goods store he added Seaford's first soda fountain -- A. J. Lank & Brother, Sporting Goods & Confectionary. [Frank was the brother in this business.] Mr. Lank remembered that "this seemed to be the place where people loved to congregate and talk. The modern coffee break for businessmen is similar to the type of thing I heard all day, except in those days the children and women gathered as often as the men around an ice cold soda. I was always kept up to date on local happenings, believe me!" Mr. Lank remained in this business for 25 years until 1926, when the entire Coulborn block was destroyed by fire.

In addition to his mercantile business Mr. Lank worked as Seaford's first appointed rural mail carrier and retired in 1934 after 30 years. He was elected to the town council in 1934 and served until 1940. This was during the turbulent period when Seaford was fighting to create its own municipal power plant--he saw the plant become a reality during his six-year tenure of office. In 1939 Mr. Lank was appointed Seaford's magistrate, and he acted in this capacity for eight years, with a period in between when he was not reappointed in State politics. Finally in 1953 Mr. Lank stepped out of public life and retired to spend his remaining years at his home in West Seaford. In retirement he remained active mentally and, although suffering an impairment in his sight, he kept abreast of local and national affairs with an interest that never flagged.

A member of Mt. Olivet Methodist Church, he served on the church's board more than 40 years. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. in the Watson Funeral Home. Interment will be in Odd Fellows Cemetery."

Research Notes: Merle Lank Williams remembers grandfather AJ Lank's stories of ships, "The Ark" and "The Dove," which made regular Gravesend, England-Caribbean-St. Marys City, Maryland trips. Were Lanks on these ships as crewmen or passengers, making their way to Delaware? Lewes is deemed the port of arrival of all Lanks in US. Maritime Canada Lanks arrived in Nova Scotia.

General Notes: Per grand-dtr Peggy: "My grandmother's name was Roxie Ellen and never Roxanne. She was a gifted pianist, playing by ear, and was her Laurel church's pianist from age 12-wish I knew which one. She had flaming red hair and was a beauty in her day. Her background was very poor, but her shoemaker father sent her to a private school where she excelled in spelling. Since she lived with us when I was growing up (her house down the dirt path from our house had no heat or inside toilet facilities) I never had to go to a dictionary for spelling help."
