MRS. R. |. STANFORD
PASSED AWAY SATURDAY

1T is not all of life to live, nor all
Of death TO die"
In the passing Of Mrs. Ruby May
Stamford, beloved wife Of Ray L.
Stanford. one is again reminded Of
these lines of a famous Christian
writer, who. too. had learned TO look
beyond the shadow of the grave into
the joys and the mysteries Of the life
eternal
Mrs. Stanford was seized with
serious malady four days after her
return from the East. and from the
beginning little hope was entertained
for her recovery. Her illness covered
a period OF five days. and was due to
intestinal flu and complications.
Ruby May Miller was born in New
York state on May 10. 1877. On
June 20. 1898. she was united in
marriage with Ray L. Stanford, OF
Iowa, and the couple lived in Iowa
until 1902, when they moved TO
Hotchkiss. Colorado. Seven years
later they came to Delta and for the
past fifteen years have been part
of the citizenship of this city.
When a girl Mrs. Stanford united
with the Methodist church, and has
lived a real Christian life-not by
words. but by deeds. and by her in
nueuCe upon her family. She was
also a member OF Garnet Chapter No
80, Order of Eastern Star.
She passed from life Saturday,
November s, 1924. at the age of a
years, 8 months and 10 days.
Surviving members OF the family
are her husband. R L. Stanford, four
daughters. Mrs. Opal Adams and Mrs
Ruby Bushnell both of Colorado
Springs. Colorado. and two younger
girls. Iona and Wilma, of Delta. Her
only son. little Raymond, was called
away by the same cause OF death, in
May. 1928.
Hers was one Of the sweetest
characters Delta has ever loved a
while and lost, and her influence will
live long after the moss and nchens
have found a resting place upon her
grave stone. Truly, none saw her but
to know her-none knew her but to
love.
Funeral services We're held from
the Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon at 2:SO o'clock, conducted
by Rev l. L. Morgan. A quartette
composed of WIN Ratekin, Mrs. Oliver
b. Cook. Mrs. ]. Z. Chalmers and
Gordon f. Wtsoner sang The Garden
OF Love" and safe In the Arms Of
Jesus" and Rev Morgan took his text
from that comforting passage OF
scripture. Let not your heart be
troubled; We believe in God, believe
also I'm Ne"
Pail bearers were Messrs. X. G..
Brown, L. \. Dowd J. E. Shue. II. &.
snyder, A. j. Obert and Robert
Porter.
The floral tributes We're as beauti-
ul and numerous as ever were
assembled on such an occasion, speak.
ing their own eloquent tribute OF lovc
and tender reverence.
