Daisy Detamore
The funeral of Daisy Detamore was held yesterday afternoon at three o'clock from the Christian church. During the past eighteen months her parents tried all means at their command to fight the dreaded disease, tuberculosis, that brought about her untimely end. Last fall they went to California and for a time she seemed to be improving but the recent rainy weather there caused a relapse and they moved to Colorado, arriving at Manitou Saturday morning and at nine o'clock that evening she breathed her last. A complete obituary will appear next week.

Chas. Detamore received a telegram Sunday telling of the death of his sister, Miss Daisy, which occurred in Colorado Saturday night. She with her father had gone to California recently in hopes of benefitting her health but the climate did not agree with her and they were on their way to Colorado Springs. The remains were brought to Hastings Monday and the funeral was held in Giltner Tuesday. Interment in the Giltner cemetery beside her two sisters.

Death of Daisy Detamore
On Wednesday afternoon, February 22nd, occurred one of the saddest funerals that Giltner has had for some time, when Miss Daisy Detamore was laid to rest. Daisy was a prominent Giltner young lady, much loved by all who knew her. About 18 months ago, because of what seemed to be a bad cold and failing health, she was forced to quit the high school of which she was a junior student. Different medical men came to her aid, but in spite of all help tuberculosis developed. Last December her father took her to California, hoping the change would benefit her. At first she greatly improved and a cure was hoped for. She was joined by her mother and brother, who planned to remain while she improved. However, early in this year she began to fail and on February 17th they started to Manitou, Colo., with her betrothed husband, Wilber Foreman. They reached there Saturday morning and that night death came to the relief of the patent sufferer.
Last Wednesday afternoon a large crowd gathered at the home of the sister two miles east of Giltner and came in a procession to the Christian church. Here only the women and a few men were able to get seats. Rev. C. C. Dobbs of the Aurora Christian church brought a hopeful message of consolation on "Knowledge, God's Remedy for Sorrow." He said in part:
"Christ tried to lighten every burden man was called to bear ad he had lightened this one by telling the meaning of this hour. Much of our sorrow for the dead was due to ignorance of what death was. God would have us know that death is a common lot. God would would have you know your loved ones walked through death with Christ. God would have you know you can meet them where death never comes."
After the sermon the casket, covered with flora offerings, was carried from the church by six of Miss Detamore's schoolmates and placed in the funeral car, and thence to the cemetery south of town, where it was tenderly laid to final rest.
All the community unite in mourning the early end of so promising a life.
