| Shared note | "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 79, No 15, p 479, Oct. 11, 1915. Delos Clarke Whitford, son of Clarke and Harriet (Clarke) Whitford, was born in the town of Plainfield, near Leonardsville, N. Y., June 9, 1841, and died September 6, 1915. He was the third of a family of seven children, five of whom grew to maturity. His brothers, Oscar U, Cyrus B., and George L., have preceded him. His sister, Mrs. H. Adaline Hall, resides at Shiloh, N. J. When sixteen years old he was baptized by Elder Charles M. Lewis, and united with the First Brookfield Seventh Day Baptist Church, and of this church he has ever remained a faithful member. In early life he learned the tailor's trade under the instruction of Ira J. Ordway, then of West Edmeston, N. Y. He spent a few years in Mexico, N. Y., and in the fall of 1874, removed to Wolcott, N. Y., where he resided till the time of his death. On July 6, 1871, he was married to Miss Frances Campbell, a daughter of Elder Alexander Campbell. For forty years he was engaged in the clothing business at Wolcott, and maintained his integrity as a consistent Sabbath-keeper, respected by the community. He was a man of remarkable faith in God, and had his faith rewarded fourteen years ago by restoration to health through prayer from a disease which seemed practically incurable. He sometimes spoke of being granted additional years of life like King Hezekiah. He is survived by his wife and his son, Harold C., of Wolcott, N. Y., and the one sister above mentioned. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. William C. Whitford, of Alfred, N. Y., assisted by Rev. F. W. Kneeland, of the Baptist Church of Wolcott. The text of the sermon was John 6: 27, "Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life." W. C. W. |
