Obituary. It becomes our sad duty to record this week the death of Miss Delilah Whitcraft, which sad event occurred at the residence of her uncle, Mr. Jacob Shouf, Sunday, July 23d, at 6 o'clock a.m.
Miss Whitcraft was born in Hocking county, Ohio, February 28th, 1860, and had been living in Kansas some ten or twelve years. Her disease was hereditary consumption, which began to develop in her system several
years ago, and though everything possible was done to stay the dread destroyer, it terminated her life at the early age of twenty-two years, four months and twenty-three days. She was a member of the M.E. church and died in hope of a better life beyond. Two sisters, Mrs. Walton and Mrs. Bateman, fell victims to the same disease, the former preceding the younger sister only a few months. Miss Whitecraft was an amiable young lady who had many friends among her young associates who sincerely mourn her death.
