IN MEMORIAM
DELILAH SHROCK MIZER

     Delilah Schrock Mizer, daughter of John and Mary Ann Schrock was born
December 17, 1848 in Holmes county, Ohio, where she spent the early years of
her life.  On May 24, 1866 she was united in marriage to Jacob S. Mizer of
Coshocton county.

     The same year they came to Fulton county, then a wilderness, purchasing
a farm five miles north of Delta where together they carved a home out of the
unbroken forest.  Into this home were born twelve children, seven daughters
and five sons.

     In early life she accepted of Christ as her personal Savior.  For many
years she was a member of the Mt. Pleasant United Brethren church located on
the old home farm.  About twenty-one years ago she, with her husband moved 
to Delta, transferring their membership to the First United Brethren church
there, where she remained a faithful member until she was called to her
heavenly crowning April 3, 1930 aged 81 years, 3 months, and 16 days.

     She was also a member of McQuillin W. R. C. Delta, and W. C. T. U.  On
December 13, 1918 her companion answered the call of the Master, and since
that time she has walked life's pathway alone, yet not alone, for she always
realized  the manifest presence of her Lord.  Neither her home nor her heart
ever closed  against a worthy person in need.

     Besides her large family of children, she tenderly mothered two
grandchildren, Marjorie Guthrie, now Mrs. R. E. Martell of Toledo, and Lloyd
E. Champion of Genoa, Ohio.  There are left to cherish her memory, two
daughters, Mrs.. C. P. Hopkins of Jasper, Mich., Mrs. C. R. Ohlinger of 
Delta.  And two sons, R. D. Mizer and W. A. Mizer both of Delta.

     Also sixteen grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren, besides 
many other relatives and .friends.  Funeral services were held in First 
United Brethren church on Sunday April 6 at 2:00 P. M., conducted by the 
pastor Rev. Walter Purdy, assisted by Rev. Charles Rex and Rev. P. E. 
Rumbaugh.  Interment was made in Greenlawn cemetery.

Just beyond this shadow land
  Where all is bright and fair,
We know fulwell these dear hands
  Will palms of victory hear.
Where crystal streams through endless years
  Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again
  We'll clasp our mother's hands.

CARD OF THANKS
  We wish to thank  all who in any way assisted us by acts of kindness and
words of sympathy in our recent sorrow in the loss of our loved one.
     The Jacob S. Mizer Family
