Read More	Published in The Rochester Sentinel Monday, March 6, 1916 Mrs. Harry E. BERNETHA, 48, wife of the ex-judge of the 41st Judicial Circuit, died at her home on south Michigan road, Sunday morning about six o'clock, the cause being pernicious anemia with which she had suffered for several months. While the disease is believed to have progressed for some time, it was not until holidays that Mrs. Bernetha grew seriously ill and five weeks ago she was persuaded to visit a Chicago specialist. After returning home she became bedfast, and gradually grew weaker despite expert medical aid. She lost consciousness Saturday night at 11 o'clock, and ceased breathing about seven hours later. The family had known for several days that there was no hope and all were present when the end came. Mrs. Bernetha was one of the best known women of the community and news of her death was a shock to the city, as it was not generally known that her condition was so serious. Rhoda Mary DELP was born August 21, 1867, in Fulton county, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Edward DELP. The family later moved in wagons to Arkansas, and then came back to Miami county, moving to Rochester in 1881, where they continued to reside. Miss Delp graduated from Rochestr high school in 1889 and then taught school for two years. On August 30, 1890, she was married to Harry E. BERNETHA, and to the union three children were born: Leo Lon [BERNETHA], who died at the age of four months, Mrs. John ALLISON and Mrs. Julian I. MEYER, both of this city. Deceased was one of nine children, the sisters and brothers being: John DELP of Piper City, Ill., Mrs. A. G. ZOOK, of Denver, Ind., Frank DELP of Chicago, Charles DELP of Richmond, Calif., and Mrs. Clara SMITH, who died in 1913. Deceased was long a member and earnest worker in the Baptist church, having joined here in 1887. Funeral Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the home, with Rev. G. C. CHANDLER officiating. Interment in the mausoleum. Among those expected here to attend the funeral of the late Mrs. Harry BERNETHA are Lou BERNETHA of North Judson, Mr. and Mrs. Carl WILE of Indianapolis, Mr. and Mrs. Walter KNISELY of Kokomo and Mr. and Mrs. A. G. ZOOK of Denver. ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Tuesday, March 7, 1916 The funeral of the late Mrs. Harry BERNETHA was held Tuesday afternoon at the home on south Main st., many attending. Rev. G. C. CHANDLER officiated and there was a solo by George BROWER, "A Perfect Day." Interment was in the mausoleum.

In Monday's obituary of the late Mrs. Harry Bernetha, the names of two brothers and a sister were unintentionally omitted: Edward DELP of Union City, Ind., and William [DELP] and Miss Flo DELP of this city. Atty Mose LAUER, Prosecutor D. L. McKESSON and Judge S. N. STEVENS of Plymouth were in this city today attending the funeral of the late Mrs. Harry BERNETHA.
