Mrs. Mary Dellis, wife of Uncle Johnie Dellis, died Monday night with pneumonia, having been sick only a few days. She was a noble and good woman, being a zealous member of the Methodist Church which she joined when quite young. She leaves several daughters to mourn her loss. Her remains were interred in the cemetery here, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, her husband, uncle Johnie, who has raised a large family of children, all being noted for their up-rightness which traits are characteristic of the old gentleman, is also lying very low with pneumonia and his recovery is considered doubtful in spite of all the close nursing and skillful treatment of his physicians, Drs. Still and Watkins. Kemp Herald
