#2-11 Nov., 1920 - The Enterprise - Delia Patrick

Mrs. Patrick, who has been poorly for more than a year, passed away Friday noon at her home near New England. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Sunday, and the body taken to Blair and laid to rest beside that of her husband who passed away a number of years ago.

After a lingering illness Mrs. Patrick passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry L. Swan Saturday. The deceased came here several months ago to make her home with her daughter, and was apparently in the best of health. Shortly afterward she was taken sick and has been a patient sufferer ever since. Funeral services were held Monday at the M. E. church, and interment made in the Herman cemetery. The family have the sympathies of the community in their sorrow.

Note: The burial is in the Blair Cemetery.
