[Welland Tribune, 26 March 1897]
Miss Nettie Dellmore died March 19, in the 20th year of her age, of that insidious foe of humanity, consumption, she being the third one of the family to pass away in the last four years, her two brothers’ demise occurring March 19, 1893, and March 22, 1895, respectively. Her health had been in a state of decline for the past four years, but for the past three months she had been confined to the bed. Rev. Mr. Morrin was a frequent visitor at her bedside during her illness. The pallbearers were John White, John and Levi Kinzie, Ed. And Simon Milliken and Wm. Woods. The services at the house and St. Paul’s Lutheran church were held by rev. Mr. Badke, the interment being at Overholt’s cemetery, March 22. The funeral was largely attended, notwithstanding the bad condition of the road, the out-of-town attendants being Barney Gailsheer (uncle) of Merritton, Mr. and Mrs. Manning of Lowbanks, Chas. F. Schottin and family, Mrs. M. Schottin, Mrs. Irving and Miss Clara Schopf of Buffalo. Two brothers and four sisters, besides the parents survive. Beautiful floral offerings were lovingly laid on the lavender casket by friends. The family wish to express their appreciation for kindly services rendered by friends and neighbors during their trouble.
does anyone have information about Nettie’s brother Edward. According to the Rainham site, he was married to Martha Saloma Beach
