Death has claimed another well- known former old resident of Exeter, in the person of Robert Delve, who died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. George Jeffery, Thames Road. on Sunday morning last about 4.30 o'clock. Born in Devonshire, England, he came to Canada about 35 years ago and set- tled in Newbury where he made his home for several years. About thirty years ago he moved to Exeter and for many years was employed on the Grand Trunk as sectlonman. After the decease of his wife several years ago he broke up housekeeping and for the greater part of the time since has lived with his daughter, Mrs. Jeffery. Deceased was a victim of asthma but he enjoyed his usual health up to about two weeks previous to his death when he was stricken with an attack of dropsy, coupled with heart trouble, and he sank gradually until relieved of his suffering. He was a hardwork- ing, industrious old gentleman, hon- est and true and for whom every per- son had a good word to say. He leaves a large grown-up family of two sons and eight daughters to mourn his demise. The funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Jeffery on Tues- day to the Exeter cemetery.
