One by one the pioneers pass from earth to the great beyond. The last to be called from this life is "Grandma" Schwartzengraber, who passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. B. W.

After remaining here for about ten years they moved to a farm about one mile south of Delphos, where they resided continually until the death of Mr. Schwartzengraber 21 years ago last November. After the death of her husband Mrs. Schwartzengraber remained on the farm until about ten years ago when she came to Delphos and had since that time been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. B. W. Dalk. Six children were born to them, two dying in infancy, and one, Mrs. Clara Doepker, passed away 25 years ago leaving two sons. The children living are R. B. and F. J.
