Listed in her obituary are siblings Alexander Clark of Two Rivers, Manitoba, John Clark residing at the homestead in Cottam, Almura Noble (nee Clark) resident of Illinois. Amherstburg Echo, March 16, 1894, Obit for Caroline Clark; "DIED - DELISLE - in Malden, on Sunday, March 11th, CAROLINE, relict of the late John B. Delisle, aged 73 years, 11 months and 94 days. Deceased's maiden name was CAROLINE CLARK , and she was born on the Cottam Road, in Gosfield North. Her husband, to whom she was married nearly 50 years ago, died three weeks ago Monday. Mrs. Delisle was very low at the time and the shock of her husband's death assisted considerably in hastening her own demise. The funeral took place on Wednesday morning, from the family residence on the gravel road, to the Amherstburg R. C. Church, thence to the R. C. cemetery. Rev. Father Renaud officiated and the pallbearers were John Deube, Laurent Robidoux, Michael Boufford, Peter Cadaret, Patrice Barron and J. Brothers. Mrs. Joseph Bondy of Colchester South is her surviving sister, and there is but one brother, living in the Northwest. Another brother was killed about two years ago in the Northwest. Her children are Richard and Henry Delisle of Malden; John Delisle and Mrs. John B. Brown of Anderdon; Albert, Mrs. John Neff and Mrs. Oliver Richard, of Auburndale, Ohio."
