Waite -- Died at her home in Wait Settlement April 15, 1891, Mrs Delilah McNeil Waite, aged 81 years.
Mrs. Waite came to this town from Scoharie County, NY, in early childhood, and with her parents, resided for many years on the farm now known as Marshland. In May, 1834, she united in marriage with William Waite, to whom she proved a wife of rare excellence. Possessed of an amiable disposition; the idol of her family; a sincere Christian; an active member of the Church; a model wife; a fond mother -- she constituted a character that any community might wish long to remain in their midst. Few persons could be more missed in the place where she lived, or more sincerely mourned. The beautiful form of our beloved one, "like an empty seashell," was laid tenderly to rest in the cemetery at Wait's on Friday last, but the soul -- the white pearl -- glows on the bosom of the Infinite Father, and we shall behold again its beauty and joy in its light. Her husband and youngest daughter (Mrs Finch, of Iowa) passed 'over the river' before her, while one daughter (Mrs Dennis Russell, of Windham, PA) and two sons (Frederick C. and John H.) remain to mourn their irreparable loss.
