of his wife which occurred Novem-
Der 23rd, 1913, he has been very sad
and lonely and at times his grief
seemed almost more than he could
bear and doubtless fastened his death
Besides the above named children he
leaves to mourn his departure four
teen grand children and number of
other relatives Thus another Of Del
aware county's early settlers has
been called from our midts and the
community has been deprived of
good neighbor and an honest, upright
citizen.
The funeral services were con-

Sunday at eleven o'clock, appropri-
ate muisc being rendered by a choir
from the Dundee Wesleyan Metho-
dist church, assisted by Miss Lizzie
