The death of E. L. Darby, Sunday night at 11 o'clock at his home in Colfax, removes from that community one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of Colfax and vicinity. He had been in the hardware business there for 37 years and he was 62 years old at the time of his death.
He and his entire family are prominent members of the M. E. church at Colfax. He was a member of the Masonic and I.O.O.F. lodges there. Ed Darby took great interest in everything of an uplifting character and always stood strong for the church and its work.

They are Miss Hawthorn Darby, a doctor in the Mary Johnson hospital located at Manila, Philippine Islands; Miss Elizabeth Darby, a teacher in the Greencastle public schools, and Edward and Jeanette Darby at home, and Mrs. Laura Gray of Chicago.
