Delaney, in the south part of town, Sunday afternoon of this week at half past four o’clock, being 78 years, 1 month, 24 days of age.

All last winter he was practically helpless and was compelled to remain in bed all the time. Since June he never was able to talk and the end was patiently and resignedly awaited. Only once died he came to Villisca to live with his son was he able to be up town, on that account many of the later settlers here were not acquainted with him.
