The last sad rites of ALVA J. DELAMATER, who died at Columbus December 4, were held here December 7 at 11 o'clock. The remains arrived at 9:42 December 7 and were taken to the Congregational Church, where very many had assembled as a tribute to one whose name was, it is not fulsome praise to say, ever synonymous with truth, honor and all the elements of a noble manhood. Death's stern hand had not obliterated from his pallid face the benign intelligent expression that in life was his. From boyhood Alva J. Delamater's mind ever dwelt in a realm of pure, exalted thought. His lips were never stained by vulgar and profane words. His tongue never anguished others' hearts. His friendship was strong and true as a chain of steel and his words and deeds merit the emulation of all people. But it is around home's hallowed shrine that his genial, happy presence will most be missed. His passing away in life's meridian has left a dark void in the loving, confiding hearts of a mother and a wife and two children. They knew him best and loved him most for his manly attributes and the kind and generous impulses that ever filled his heart. The Rev. O.L. Cook delivered the discourse and his tender pathos caused a rift in the sombre shadows of sorrow that darkened their hearts. Mr. Cook was a boyhood friend here of the deceased and knew that his life from that time until his death was a joy and a gracious benediction to all who knew him and this was an inspiration to the minister to speak in the most eloquent and pathetic strains. The Rev. Mr. Dole, the aged father of the Rev. Charles Dole, made the opening prayer and it was of the most graceful phrase and beautiful, tender sentiment. The Rev. Charles Dole's closing prayer was brief but impressive.
Alva J. Delamater came of a family of high social prestige. His father, James Delamater, was a merchant here long ago. His parents moved to Henry County, Illinois, where Alva was born December 5, 1860. His father was a soldier in the Civil War and died and was buried in the south and his mother returned here with her orphaned son. She has been postmistress here over 20 years. Alva was married to Miss Lide McConnell, of a most-respected family of Richland county, and she and her two sons survive him. When a young man Alva and S.P. Coats engaged in the hardware business here and later in the same business in Westerville. But for a number of years he has been a railway postal clerk and has lived in Columbus. Victor Sowers, F.D. Culp and George Cunningham, of the railway mail service, were at the funeral.
