Delhi, 1 Jan 1919 --
Sixty eight years ago Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lyness moved to Delhi
from the county of Simcoe.
Mr. Lyness died 49 years
ago, and Mrs. Lyness passed away at the advanced age of 91 years,
last Saturday.
She and her husband built
the Lyness home on James street, and she witnessed the growth of
Delhi from a pioneer settlement to the thriving town it is now.
She was one of the first to
become a member of the Methodist church after it was built, her
husband being one of the mechanics who constructed the old
edifice.
