The El Dorado Times, April 8, 1948, Volume XXIX Number 112
EL DORADO WOMAN FOUND DEAD AT HOME ON CENTRAL

The body of Mrs. Jeannette Delk, about 70, was found in the living room of her 
home, 1323 West Central, at 11:30 o'clock this morning by police who had been 
summoned by Mrs. E. E. Purdom, a niece of the dead woman.

Mrs. Delk, who lived alone, is believed to have been dead since Monday night or 
Tuesday morning. A jury was empaneled by Dr. G. C. Whitley, Douglass, county 
Coroner, early this afternoon in an attempt to determine the cause of death. 
Indications were that she died of natural causes, however.

Death of the El Dorado woman was learned late this morning when Mrs. Purdom 
went to call on her. Finding the door closed and several days' mail in the box, 
she became alarmed and called police who entered the house through a window and 
found Mrs. Delk's body lying against the front door in the living room. Inquiry 
revealed that the El Dorado woman had last been seen by  neighbors on Monday.

The body was taken to the Arnold-Kirby Funeral Home but funeral arrangements 
have not been completed.

Mrs. Delk is survived by her husband, Ernest W. Delk, who lives at Seminole, 
Okla., who is reported to make periodic visits to El Dorado, and a son, Ernest 
T. of Venesuela, South America.
