Delana M. (Boomer) Barnes
Northern Christian Advocate, Feb. 12, 1851
Delana M. [Barnes], consort of Wilbert Barnes, and daughter of Joshua and Mary Boomer, died at Sand Banks, Oswego Co., Oct. 21st, 1850, in the 29th year of her age. On being told that her recovery was doubtful, she replied, "Sister, I know I am very weak and low, and perhaps will never be better prepared. I do not feel in ecstasies, as may do, yet I have a peaceful enjoyment, and feel to say, the Lord's will be done, not mine." On being asked by a Christian friend, what she wished him to pray for, she replied, "that the Lord's will might be done, and her family have sustaining grace." She continued in the same peaceful, happy frame and when the power of speech was gone, manifested by her looks the same sweet, peaceful resignation. She gave, by will, to the America Bible Society one hundred dollars; to the Methodist Book Concern fifty dollars; to the Superannuated Preachers' Fund of Black River Conference fifty dollars; to the M.E. Church at Belleville fifty dollars; to the Black River conference Missionary Society twenty-four dollars; and for the purpose of educating indigent young men for the ministry fifty dollars and upwards. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." "Yes, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." C.W. Leet

Mrs. Markham and her first husband, Mr. Edward Purple, for many years resided in this town [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], and were among the early settlers of the "Chenango Triangle." They raised a family of respectable and intellectual children. Doctor William D. Purple, of this place, and Thomas L. Purple of Smithville, and others, are now living. Death severed the bonds of matrimony with her first and estimable husband, and she married Mr. Markham, in advanced life, a kind and affectionate husband. In the relations of wife, mother and friend, she was affectionate and faithful. She has gone to her rest, and her friends must not mourn for she rests after her labors, in the arms of her much loved Saviour. With affectionate feelings does the writer remember the many kind motherly offices of the "good matron" to his wife and infants.\
