    We wish to express our heart-felt thanks and deepest appreciation to the teachers and pupils of the Delia high school, and of the grade school, to the flower girls and to the pallbearers, to the members of the Masonic and the Z.C.B.J. lodges, and to the many friends who have lightened our grief by their beautiful floral gifts, and by their many deeds of kindness during the hours of illness and in the departure of our beloved son and brother.

    Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Penaz
    Miss Lydia Penaz


    In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Elmer W. Penaz, who passed away 15 years ago September 10, 1935.
    From this world of pain and sorrow
    To the land of peace and rest,
    God has taken you, dear son,
    Where you’ve found eternal rest.
    Sleep on, dear son, and take thy rest.
    We loved you so, but God loved you best,
    Sadly missed by Mother, Father and Sister.

    Mr. and Mrs. Joe Penaz
    Mrs. C.L. Scott


    Elmer William Penaz, 23, of Delia died Monday morning in St. Francis hospital.


    In memory of our son and brother who passed away 16 years ago, September 10, 1935.
    We have only your memory, dear son,
    To remember our whole life thru;
    But the sweetness will linger forever
    As we treasure the image of you.
    Our lips cannot tell you we miss you;
    Our heart cannot tell what to say—
    God alone knows how we miss you
    In a home that is lonesome today.

    Sadly missed by Mother, Father, and Sister.
    Mr. and Mrs. Joe Penaz
    Mrs. C.L. Scott

    The whole community has been grieved and deeply saddened by the untimely death of Elmer Penaz who passed away in his home at Delia, September 10, 1935, after an illness of only a few days. The very fact that he was a promising youth of health and vigor, makes his passing the more of a shock to his relatives and friends.

    Elmer had spent all of his life in this community, having been born in Delia, July 4, 1912. He was educated in the Delia public schools, and later served both the grade and high school as janitor. He endeared himself to the pupils and to the teachers if the schools, to his many friends, and to the entire community, by his faithful and cheerful service, and by his cheery and helpful disposition. His ever-ready smile will long be remembered and missed.

    Funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. W. Davis at the Presbyterian church in Delia, on September 12. in the presence of a large assembly of friends who had met to pay tribute to one who was loved by all who knew him. The pallbearers were personal friends, and were attended by flower girls. He was laid to rest in the Bohemian cemetery, near Delia. He leaves to mourn his loss, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Penaz; his sister, Miss Lydia; other relatives and a host of friends.
