Excerpt taken from The Edna Enterprise, July 31, 1903:
Mrs. Delp Dead.
Word was received this week of the death at Senate Oklahoma, of Mrs. Rhoda Delp who will be remembered here as Miss Rhoda Bickham, a sister of Mrs. E. H. Breidenthal. She grew to womanhood here and had a large circle of acquaintances. Her death occurred July 26. She was a good Christian woman, and leaves a husband, a daughter five years old, two sisters and three brothers to mourn her death.
