On
Thursday evening Mrs. Fred Stipe passed away at her late home on
Wellington street, Delhi. For some time past the failing health of
Mrs. Stipe has been the cause of concern to her friends. But skill and
care proved unavailing to arrest the inroads of her ailments, and
Thursday evening her gentle spirit peacefully passed to its rest.
Mrs. Stipe was a native of
Norwich and was in her 49th year. Deceased was a member of the Delhi
Methodist church and a useful and active member in fraternal
societies. More especially will she be missed in the Rebekah lodge. In
this society she has worked unremittingly since it was organized in
Delhi, and has held various offices.
She leaves a sorrowing
husband, two daughters, Ethel and Nellie; and two sons, Charlie and
Harry, all of whom are at home. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stover of
Norwich, and a family of seven brothers and sisters survive. Her
demise is the first which has severed the family chain.
The funeral took place on
Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Many of her friends, not only [from] Delhi,
but from places miles from here, were in attendance at the impressive
services to contribute their last respects to their true friend who
had departed.
There was a profusion of
beautiful floral offerings, which again attested how estimable Mrs.
Stipe was regarded by her host of friends. -- Delhi Reporter.
