The sudden departure of our friend has given a shock to the community; many of his associates not hearing of his illness until the rapid strides of disease had carried him past all hope of recovery. A faithful husband, a fond father, a genial citizen, and thoroughly honest and sincere nature, Delos Barnum will be greatly missed." Cf. Cortland County Standard and Journal, 1873
