DELAMARTER, RACHEL A.
(18 Oct 1906, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Rachael A. Delamarter, wife of M. C. Delamarter, living nine miles north
west of Elk City, was burned to death Monday, Oct. 10, by throwing a
lighted match on the floor which ignited the back of her dress.  Although
her neighbors hastened to the rescue and medical aid was promptly summoned
nothing could be done for this unfortunate woman.  Mrs. Delamarter was
born in Granville, Ohio, August 34 (sic), 1852 and was left to fight the
battle of life alone at a tender age.
She was married to Moses C. Delamarter July 26, 1890.  To this union was
born two children, Ray, age 14, and Roy, age 12.
Mrs. Delamarter was a kind hearted christian woman and was always ready
and willing to alleviate the suffering of others.  May the white wings of
peace spread over this poor soul and may her memory be cherished as an
example of christian character.  The sympathy of the entire neighborhood
is with the sorrowing relatives.
