BARBARA A. DELANO

DEATH COMES TO MRS. W.W. DELANO TODAY
Calmly and peaceful, and with resignation, Mrs. William W. DeLano passed
away this afternoon at the family home on N. Fifth street, her demise not
being unexpected, but none the less a shock to family and friends. Mrs.
DeLano had been failing for some time and a few days ago her children out
of the city were summoned. She rallied and there was hope that she might
survive but the hope was dispelled today when she lapsed into the last
sleep.
Mrs. DeLano was a long time resident of the city and wife of W.W. DeLano,
circulation manager of the Herald-News.
The obituary notice will be published Monday.

Mrs. W.W. DeLano, died Saturday afternoon. She had been in poor health for a
long time. Barbara Alan was of Scotch-English parentage. She was born in Hillsdale,
Mich. in 1848 and educated in the public schools and college of that city. She was
the only daughter of Judge Robert T. Alan and was descended from a long line of
distinguished jurists, her father being the fifth in the family line to study law
and graduated from Oxford University, England. After coming to America, he practiced
in Hillsdale, being for many years a circuit judge in Southern Michigan and later
judge of probate court in Houghton, Mich.
During her life time, the deceased often recalled many interesting episodes of her
childhood days when her father rode through miles of forest to hold his court. She
remembered him as a great friend of all Indians many of whom came and camped on his
estate for days at a time and were pleased to call him the "big chief". It was in
1875 that the family moved to Manitowoc and in 1876 she was married to W. W. DeLano.
Five children were born to the couple, all of whom are living: Mortimer R. DeLano of
Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Hazel Dunbar, Minneapolis; Mrs. Lorena Peterson, Mesa, Arizona;
Mrs. Eva Ohde and Mrs. Irene Milski of this city. There are five grandchildren. Two
years ago Mrs. DeLano fell and fractured her hip and from that time to the day of
her death was a constant and uncomplaining sufferer and throughout the long weary
months which she lay helpless, her patience and fortitude never once departed. The
funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Hood, pastor of St. James Episcopal Church,
officiating. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
