Mrs. Delia Garrigues, nee Webb, relict of the late Judge A. Garrigues, departed
this life at 1:15 o'clock a. m. on Thursday last, aged 72 years, 4 months, and
9 days. The deceased had been an invalid for the past twenty years, and during
that long period had suffered, at intervals, great bodily pain, which she ever
bore with a christian fortitude and resignation. She was conscious to the last
supreme moment and passed away as calmly as an infant going to sleep. Death had
no terrors for her, and life no attractions to hold her longer on earth, except
the great love she had for her children whom she loved with an affection
bordering on idolatry. Only five short weeks have elapsed since Judge Garrigues
passed away, and since that sad period it was plain to be seen his invalid
wife, who had always listened for his familiar footfall, his loving, kindly
greeting which daily asked: "Ma, is there anything you want to-day? How do you
feel to-day?" would soon follow her aged and devoted companion to the land of
rest. Unmurmuring, cheerful, and with a kindly word for the many friends who
daily visited her, she became weaker and weaker until the lamp of life went out
as if from the breath of zephyr.
The virtues of this estimable, christian lady are too well known for a full
recital in this brief and incomplete tribute. Her three-score years and ten
made up a life marked by every attribute which enables the human heart or shows
the pure divinity of the human soul. In the family circle, she was a model wife
and a paragon mother; in society she was the embodiment of hospitality, a firm
friend, and a pleasant acquaintance; and as a christian woman she fully
illustrated the import of the crowning religious graces of faith, hope, and
charity. Her friends were innumerable, and her enemies, not one. In her last
few week on earth, since the "old home" was broken up, she has been with her
daughter, Mrs. C. B. Andrus, whose filial love and devoted attention
anticipated every want and desire of the beloved mother. Besides, her other
children have been constantly with her, cheering her last moments by their warm
and idolizing affection, and many friends called daily to see her. She lived to
a ripe old age, fulfilled a christian destiny, and enjoys the happy rest and
reward of the just and faithful. A large concourse of friends followed her
remains to their last resting-place yesterday at 3 p. m.
