POSTMASTER IS DEAD. 13 Nov 1913. T. A. Dilley, postmaster of Sterling! passed away about two o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Dilley had not been well for some time, but not until a few days ago was an immediate danger felt. He had been gradually failing but was able to be at the post office until a short time ago, and last Saturday was able to come uptown for a shave. Mr. Dilley had been suffering from diabetes, and some time ago other complications set in and hastened the end. Monday morning word was passed around the city that he was in a dangerous condition, and that gangrene had set in, as well as other complications. The deceased has had trouble with his eyes for several years, and during the past year had had a couple of operations performed for the removal of cataracts, and was thereby made able to get around alone and to enjoy life a little better. He made the point to be in the post office regularly in spite of his many troubles. More particulars will be given in next weeks Bulletin. Funeral arrangements have not been made at this time. Mr. Dilley’s term as postmaster would not have expired until next July. (Russell Dilley, his nephew. Who left the Sterling area in 1912, reported that T. A. was essentially blind the last time he saw him and that he depended on an old horse and buggy to carry him back and forth to the post office, J. 0.
