D., and one of Perry township's best known women, died at her home Tuesday night, February 21, at 11:40 o'clock. Her death was due to paralysis. About a year ago she suffered her first stroke which partially paralyzed her and rendered her speechless and last Monday evening the third attack came. Her husband is also critically ill of dropsy. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Delaney and had spent all her life in Perry township.
