At the age of nine years his family removed to Carthage, Ill., where he grew to manhood. He returned to Ohio in 1869 and entered the Ohio University, where he received his education. After leaving college he went to Maryville, Mo., and engaged in teaching. Here April 26, 1873 he was married to Ella R. Adney, of Vinton, Ohio. To them were born six children, as follows; Earle R., Flora A., Ada R., Glenn Adney, Paul P., and Claire Warren. In 1875 Mr. DeLay returned to Ohio, where he spent the greater part of his life in following his profession, that of teaching. The family removed to Yankton, S. D., in 1892. After a stay of ten years they came to Emporia, where he has been an invalid for the past year. After much suffering he was called home. Mr. DeLay became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in early youth, but in the later days of his life he came to know and appreciate more fully the beauties of a Christian life and the worth of a perfect trust in Christ. Many times during his suffering he expressed a desire to "depart and be at peace." The funeral service was conducted Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, from the First M. E. church, Rev. J. H. Price speaking from the text, "Let not your hearts be troubled. In my Fathers house are many mansions." He was laid to rest at College Hill cemetery. He is survived by his wife, all his children, and a brother, D. W. DeLay, of Matton, Ill.
