IN MEMORIAM
DELILAH SHROCK MIZER
Delilah Schrock Mizer, daughter of John and Mary Ann Schrock was born December 17, 1848 in Holmes county, Ohio, where she spent the early years of her life. On May 24, 1866 she was united in marriage to Jacob S. Mizer of Coshocton county.
The same year they came to Fulton county, then a wilderness, purchasing a farm five miles north of Delta where together they carved a home out of the unbroken forest. Into this home were born twelve children, seven daughters and five sons.
In early life she accepted of Christ as her personal Savior. For many years she was a member of the Mt. Pleasant United Brethren church located on the old home farm. About twenty-one years ago she, with her husband moved to Delta, transferring their membership to the First United Brethren church there, where she remained a faithful member until she was called to her heavenly crowning April 3, 1930 aged 81 years, 3 months, and 16 days.
She was also a member of McQuillin W. R. C. Delta, and W. C. T. U. On December 13, 1918 her companion answered the call of the Master, and since that time she has walked life's pathway alone, yet not alone, for she always realized the manifest presence of her Lord. Neither her home nor her heart ever closed against a worthy person in need.
Besides her large family of children, she tenderly mothered two grandchildren, Marjorie Guthrie, now Mrs. R. E. Martell of Toledo, and Lloyd E. Champion of Genoa, Ohio. There are left to cherish her memory, two daughters, Mrs.. C. P. Hopkins of Jasper, Mich., Mrs. C. R. Ohlinger of Delta. And two sons, R. D. Mizer and W. A. Mizer both of Delta.
Also sixteen grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren, besides many other relatives and .friends. Funeral services were held in First United Brethren church on Sunday April 6 at 2:00 P. M., conducted by the pastor Rev. Walter Purdy, assisted by Rev. Charles Rex and Rev. P. E. Rumbaugh. Interment was made in Greenlawn cemetery.
Just beyond this shadow land
Where all is bright and fair,
We know fulwell these dear hands
Will palms of victory hear.
Where crystal streams through endless years
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again
We'll clasp our mother's hands.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank all who in any way assisted us by acts of kindness and words of sympathy in our recent sorrow in the loss of our loved one.
The Jacob S. Mizer Family
