Mrs. Atwood is Summoned
Prominent Worker in Relief Corps—Spent Entire Life in Rockford
Mrs. Delia Atwood died Thursday at her home, 1123 North Church street. Death brought welcome release from a prolonged and torturing affliction with cancer. She had been in a serious condition for a year, and several weeks of that time were spent in a hospital. Mrs. Atwood was sixty-eight years of age. She was born in Jackson county, Michigan, March 18, 1845. She was a daughter of James and Roxana Smith, who came to Rockford the year she was born. Her father engaged in farming in Burritt township until 1849, when he was attracted by the discovery of gold in California, and went to that state, where he passed away.
Mrs. Atwood was twice married. Her first husband was James H. Johnson, who was engaged in the livery business and known in Grand Army circles. Mr. Johnson died fourteen years ago. Her second marriage, to Hiram H. Atwood, was solemnized October 11, 1910. Her husband, who is also a Grand Army man, survives. There are no children. Mrs. John G. Henry, of 523 North Church street is a sister.
Mrs. Atwood was prominent in the work of the Woman's relief corps to which she gave much time and loving thought. The needs of the old soldiers made a strong appeal to her. Her sympathy went out to the unfortunate, and she will be long remembered for the love that bears the infirmities of others. Mrs. Atwood was an intimate friend of Mrs. Miranda Thurston, another W.R.C. worker, who died recently.
Mrs. Atwood was a member of the Eastern Star and the White Star of Jerusalem.
