Death of John Porter
John Porter died at the home of his son, E. B. Porter in Delhi, Sunday, June 26, 1909, being in the 87th year. Mr. Porter was born in Colchester, Vermont, May 14, 1822, coming west in 1842, settling in Garden Prairie, Illinois. Five years later on July 4, 1846, and with his bride moved to Chicago and owned considerable property in what is now the business center of that city. Later, he went to Waukegon, and then to Bellevue, Iowa, coming to Delhi in 1854. In Delaware county he has made his home for the past fifty years. Mrs. Porter died in 1892, and he was married to Mrs Clara Myers, who lived but a short time. He was the father of eleven children, only two of whom survive him; E. B. Porter, with whom he has made his home and H. H. Porter, both of Delhi.
Mr. Porter was a type of the early pioneer who helped make the county what it is today. His rugged health and many admirable traits of character abled him to accomplish much for himself and for others. He was always a public spirited man and exceptionally well informed on all current events. His life was lived uprightly before men, and his business relations were without fault of question. His death is a personal loss to the many friends who knew him well, and a great bereavement to his sorrowing sons. The funeral service was held from his late home June 29th, Rev. R. C. Lusk officiating.
