Died--On Dec. 26, at 10 A.M., Mrs. EMMA HELEN DELANO, beloved wife of William H. Delano, aged 32 years, 4 months and 20 days.
Mrs. Wm. H. Delano, whose death was noticed in last week's issue of this paper, was the youngest child of Rev. John Donaldson. Her corpse arrived at Ironton on Wednesday, and the funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church on Thursday morning. They consisted of music by the choir, the reading of the 14th chapter of the Book of Lob and an extract from 4th chapter of 1st Thess., 13th and 18th verses inclusive, by Rev. A. W. Wright. The reading was in true spirit of the text, and was followed by a very impressive prayer. Rev. J. C. Berryman, who had known the deceased from her childhood, made a very touching and appropriate address, sketching the leading events of her life and bearing a just but inadequate testimony to her great moral worth. The house was well filled during the services, and about fifty persons attended the body to the grave.
Mrs. Delano was born near Russellville, Logan county, Kentucky, Aug. 6, 1850, and removed thence with her parents to Cape Girardeau, in this State, where they for some length of time resided, and whence they came to this place, where the remaining years of her life were spent.
June 13, 1867, she graduated with honor at Arcadia College, then in charge of Rev. J. C. Berryman.
June 18, 1871, she was married to Mr. Delano, to whom she was a loving and faithful wife, a true helpmeet. She became the devoted mother of three boys--one taken to the world beyond some two years since, Freddie, 8 years old, and Lewis, an infant 9 months old, are bereft of a mother's care and love.
She united with the Presbyterian Church of Ironton in her girlhood, and it was her earnest endeavor to lead the life of a true Christian.
Her departure to that "Better Land," though a happy release for her, is a great affliction to her relatives and friends. They can only say, "God's will, not mine, be done," for "He doeth all things well."
The sympathies of the entire community are deeply stirred, and involuntarily go out toward her bereaved husband and motherless children, her afflicted and aged parents and her only sister. May they feel that the flower of their hears has been transplanted to the "Garden of their Lord," who does not willingly afflict the children of men, but for some good purpose has called her before them to be another link in the chain that binds their hearts to Heaven.

DIED--At his home in Girard, Kansas, on Friday, March 21st, 1884, Peter Dilts, aged 75 years, 11 months and 20 days.
His only remaining son, Wm. G. Dilts, Cashier at Pilot Knob for the St. Louis Ore and Steel Company, received a telegram about noon Saturday, informing him of the unexpected and mournful event. He at once set out for Girard, and is there now attending to the last sad offices of filial affection. He had been called to Girard only a few weeks before, in anticipation of his mother’s decease, but after a few days she improved in health somewhat, when Mr. D. returned home. At the time he left Girard his father was in good health for so aged a person, and spoke of his intention to make his son’s home his home in case he survived his aged and feeble wife. It appears that he was taken with a congestive chill on Thursday, and in twenty-four hours had ceased to be of this earth! The deceased was uncle to the editor of this paper. His life’s history deserves more than a mere passing chronicle of his departure, and we shall in the next issue of his paper endeavor to publish a proper obituary.
Iron County Register, Ironton, Missouri, Thursday, June 20, 1895, Page 5. From Des Arc.
J.G. Dunnigan, who was scalded in a wreck on a log boom below Poplar Bluff last summer, was brought home last winter. All the flesh was burned off his legs from his hip down. He has suffered death a thousand times, and of late he suffered so much you could hear him hollow and take on for some distance. So the Doctors concluded to cut off one of his legs, and Sunday Drs. Petit, Gay, Bates and Sebastian amputated his leg, but he only lived until night. Poor man! He is better off. May God help his bereaved widow and children! He will be buried at Des Arc Tuesday. June 17, 1896 [typo - should be 1895] Isaac.
