The community was shocked Wednesday when it became known that Mrs. Marjorie Deshon McAfee, wife of Dr. Larry McAfee, of the United, States Army, had died Tuesday evening at five o’clock, at Ft. Riley Kansas. Dr, McAfee was stationed at Columbus, New Mexico and Mrs. Mc- Afee’s parents, Col. and Mrs. Deshon, are in Panama. Miss Jessie McAfee left this city Wednesday for Ft. Riley, and Dr. McAfee was expected to arrive there Thursday evening. Her death followed soon after the birth of a baby, the little one, too, having passed away. Mrs. Deshon had intended coming to her daughter’s home in May and it is not unlikely that she was enroute home when she received the message of her daughter’s death.
Last fall, Dr. and Mrs. McAfee and two children were in this city for several months, the doctor having been granted an extended furlough after his return from the Philippines. The young mother and her children made friends with all whom they met and when they left Delphi for Ft. Riley, it was with a feeling of satisfaction that their new home was not so far from the doctor’s boyhood home that they could not return here often for a visit. Dr. McAfee was sent to Mexico soon after his arrival in Ft. Riley, but his wife’s letters to relatives here have been cheerful and not a word had been received that gave them the least worry as to her condition.
It is expected that the body will be brought to the home of Dr. McAfee’s mother, Mrs. D. B. McAfee, in this city, and interment made here.
