The deceased woman bore a distinction which comes to few people of any age.That is, being the model which served for a distinguished artist in portraying characters which have become famous through words written about them by some of the country's best known authors. Mrs. DALIE was a special friend to Springfield's eminent artist, Walter TITTLE, to who she was always known as "grandma" although no relation. Almost all of his old lady studies were taken from her and her picture appears in Mr. TITTLE'S Gift book, works by Whitcomb Riley and other books illustrated by Mr. TITTLE. A life sized bust of her was admired by many people a year ago as it hung in the city library. Mrs. DALIE was born in Exeter, England October 12, 1819. She was the mother of these surviving children: Mrs. Alice AYERS, Mrs. Rose J. SEIBERT, Mrs.Captain J. HOLMES of Cleveland, Mrs. Cynthia ALLEN, J. H. DALIE of this city. She had been a widow for the past 12 years. The funeral will be held Monday Morning at 10 o'clock from the residence. Burial will be made at Ferncliff Cemetery.
