Mrs Mollie Arbuckle
The remains of Mrs Mollie Arbuckle, aged 83 years, widow of the late Paul T Arbuckle, of Cherry Hill section, who died at the home of her son, Paul Arbuckle, Jr, in West Virginia, were brought to Cherry Hill Methodist cemetary, last Sunday afternoon for interment. Before her marriage, she was Miss Mollie Borland, of Cherry Hill. One son survives her.
Note from Paul Taylor Arbuckle says, "David Taylor Devlin was half-brother on his mother's side." There is no data found yet to corroborate this information. All records, including the 1880 Census, indicate that Mary E BIDDLE was not the mother of David, and therefore, they did not have a common father and mother.[[PDA]]
Framed marriage "certificate" for Paul Thurlow and Mollie Borland shows witnesses: Daniel Arbuckle, Mary S. Arbuckle, Mary E. Devlin, and E. E. White (written in different pen and hand).
Mrs Mollie D Arbuckle petitioned the Court to admit her as a party to the caveat filed by Mrs Mary Devlin to the will of Jacob T Biddle, deceased. Since filing the caveat Mrs Devlin has died. Mrs Arbuckle is a daughter of Mrs Devlin and a niece of Jacob T Biddle. In his will Mr Biddle devised his property to his nephew George J Biddle and niece Bertha Biddle. The Court passed an order admitting Mrs Arbuckle as a party to the caveat.

Death Register entry lists “Maiden name of Mother” for Mollie as “Mary Bevlin”. Believe this was a misspelling of “Mary Devlin”
