Delphos Republican
January 15, 1932
Joy Bishop was born in the state of Vermont on Nov. 1, 1848, and passed to the greater life on Thursday, Jan. 6 at the Odd Fellow Home, Eureka Lake, Kansas, aged 84 years, 2 months and 6 days.
One brother, Leroy Bishop, of Highland, Calif.; one nephew, Merton Keys, of New York City; and adopted son, Wayne Hazlett; of Beloit, Kansas; and a brother-in-law, Hiram Goodwin, this city, are the remaining survivors.
When a young man in his teens, Mr. Bishop accompanied his parents to Linn Co., Iowa – this was during the Civil War. It was during that period that Joy gained an education, also helping his father operate a saw mill. In the year of 1870 he came to Delphos, remaining for a short time, then returning to Iowa. Again in the springtime of 1871, he came back to Delphos, when he took up a homestead claim about 3 miles northeast of Delphos.
On Dec. 11, 1875 he was united in marriage to Miss Lettie Rankin, who preceded him on Oct. 11, 1927. Miss Rankin taught in the Delphos high school prior to their marriage.
Joy, as we shall continue to mention him by name, had a wide circle of acquaintances. During his stay on the farm, in the early days, he was interested in many pursuits – engaged in freighting between Abilene and Solomon to Delphos, and other points. He, also, in partnership with a Mr. Hall, conducted a livery barn, caring for the horses which a stage line drove, plying the Solomon Valley. During later years, while still conducting farming, he practiced veterinary dentistry, enjoying a large and lucrative business. Leaving the farm, he again moved to Delphos for a short time. In the fall of 1900 he purchased a farm near Asherville, Kansas, where he resided until Mrs. Bishop's demise, after which he made his home with an adopted son, Wayne Hazlett, of Beloit, Kansas.
On July 26, 1931, Joy went to the Odd Fellow Home at Eureka Lake, remaining there until his translation.
Joy was a veteran member of the Odd Fellow Lodge. He was next to the two last and only surviving charter members of the Rebekah Lodge, they being Mrs. Alma Sampson and Mrs. Laura White.
Joy was a charter member of the Good Templar Lodge in Delphos and took active interest in the work during its existence. He also became a member of the Delphos Society of Spiritualists, and gave zealous service with full confirmation in the knowledge that round about the loved ones of earth are constantly gathering spirits of dead ones bringing messages of cheer and glad tidings.
Funeral services were held at the V.V. Thurston home Sunday afternoon, with I.N. Richardson in charge. Burial was made in Delphos Cemetery, and the Delphos Odd Fellows had charge of the graveside services.
