Delphos Republican, December 17, 1926
Maggie May Sullivan, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde A. Sullivan, was born on the farm four miles southwest of Delphos January 24, 1902, and died at her home in Mission, Texas, December 9th, 1926, aged twenty four years, ten months and fifteen days.
She was married to George H. Bistline at the Presbyterian manse September 8th, 1925, the ceremony being performed by her pastor, the Rev. W.R. Coventry.
To this union was born one daughter, Florence Agnes, who died in infancy, and is buried in Mission, Texas.
Besides her husband the deceased leaves to mourn her departure, her parents, one sister, Mrs. Frank LaPlant, and three brothers, James, Dennis, and Dale, two nieces, Betty Lou and Patrecia Lee LaPlant, all of Delphos; the grandmother, Mrs. A.E. Keller, and two aunts, Mrs. G.E. Eye and Lillie B. Keller of Long Beach, Calif., two uncles, George M. Keller of Delphos, and Harrison Keller of Boston, Mass., besides many other more distant relatives, and a host of friends.
The life of Maggie Sullivan has been read as an open book by the people of this community, who have known her intimately all her life. Her life and character were outstanding in their unblemished purity. As a little girl she started to school in the country, then on coming to town she took her place in the Delphos school, from which she graduated with the class of 1921. In her early girlhood she acknowledged Jesus Christ as her Saviour and united with the Presbyterian church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. She took an active part in the affairs of the church and community. She was talented in music and gave freely of her talent in that line.
After finishing school the deceased entered the employ of the Rural Telephone Company, remaining in their service about two years, or until her health began to fail.
It was a terrible shock to all when it was learned that the dreaded Bright's Disease had chosen Maggie for its victim. For many weeks as she lay in the hospital, news was anxiously awaited, as to her condition. She rallied and came home, and to the unskilled mind seemed better. Although she was never again free from the malady, she was able to go among her friends and carry out some of her plans. She was married and went to Texas where she was happy in helping make her home. Her last illness was short, as her letters to friends just before the sad news came told of her activities.
Memorial services were held from the Presbyterian Church at 2:00 Monday, December 13, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W.R. Coventry assisted by the Rev. G.S. Smith. Special music was furnished by a quartette compsed of Mrs. J.H. Richards, Mrs. R.H. James, Frank Rollings and Frank White. Interment was in Delphos Cemetery.
"Now all is done, say not her day is o'er,
And that through night she seeks a dimmer shore;
Say rather that her morn has just begun,
She seeks the dawn and not the setting sun,
Now all is done."
