Delphia SMITH, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David SMITH died in Paola April 18th,
1898. She was born February 3rd, 1880. At the age of fifteen she united with the
Union church and since that time has lived a Christian life until she was called
away. After a short illness of about two weeks her frail form became too weak to
retain its magnanimous soul and gave it back to Him who gave it.
No where in the wondrous depth of her soul could anger be found. It was hard to
give up such a daughter and sister but what a comfort, what a grand thing to
know that there is one soul in heaven that once marched by our side as we travel
life's pathway and one who entered with us in our joys and sorrows, one that
ever watched with an anxious heart lest you go astray that in death after you
have made the last struggle and crossed the dark river she will meet you before
and clothed in the radience that pen cannot describe.
Funeral services were held at the Union church at New Lancaster on Tuesday
afternoon April 19th. The remains were then followed to the cemetery by a large
procession of friends and relatives. The members of the family have the entire
sympathy of this community.
Mourn not father, mother, brothes and sisters, for Delphia rests in peace. 
"There is no death; she is only gone,
Transplanted in the Heavenly land;
The Master said her work was done,
And took her to the angel band."
A Friend.
