Mrs. Delzell's Death.

We are pained to note the death of "Aunt Polly" Delzell, of Morning Sun. She was the relict of the late Robert Delzell, who died fifteen years since. She and her husband were pioneers in Iowa. Came here from Licking county, Ohio, early in the 50's and settled on a farm near the present thriving village of Morning Sun. This was their home for many years until Mr. Delzell and youngest son embarked in the mercantile business. Mrs. Delzell has been a resident of that place up to the time of her death. She was a mother of Mrs. Sally Holliday whose sad and sudden death we announced in these columns only a few weeks ago. She was a kind-hearted noble Christian woman whose loss with be sincerely felt by a large circle of friends.
