Description
Mrs. Delia Martin, (colored) wife of Reuben Martin, died at a hospital in Kansas City last Friday night, the 23d, aged about 64 years (born ~1857). Delia was one of the best known and most highly respected of the older circle of colored women in Parkville. Faithful and reliable, she had a wide circle of white friends in town and in many homes she had rendered valuable service from time to time before her health failed. She has been suffering greatly for a long time with a tumor. A short time ago she was taken to a hospital in Kansas City, where she was operated upon last Thursday. She never revived fully from the anesthetic, and died Friday night. The funeral was from the colored Methodist church in Parkville on last Sunday.Date(s) of Creation
