The community of Delphi was shocked and grieved when it became known that Miss Lillie Wingard daughter of Mr and Mrs. Marion Wingard had died Tuesday evening at six o'clock of acute uremic poisoning after an illness of only two days. Miss Wingard who was but twenty-two years of age was born and reared in Delphi, and graduated from the Delphi High School in the class of 1921. She was at time of her death cashier in the New York store in Delphi. She was a devoted member of the Baptist church being treasurer of her Sunday school class, treasurer of the Rebecca Lodge, and treasurer of the American Legion Auxiliary. Miss Wingard represented one of the highest types of young womanhood. She was highly respected and admired by all who knew her and was a favorite in the family circle. She is survived by her mother and invalid father, four sisters, Eva who is employed at the Seybold Dry Goods Store in Logansport, Laura and Nellie who are employed at the Goff store in Delphi and Dorothy who stays at home to care for her father, four brothers, Edward of the shoe department in the New York store Jarius of Hammond, Robert who is employed in the Wingard grocery and Harry at home. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon. Burial will be made in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Rev. Russell Pitman her former pastor will officate assisted by Rev.
