    Notes:

    Delcar Sleight, son of Morris and Hannah Sleight, was born April 23, 1827, at Hyde Park, N. Y., and came with his parents to Naperville in 1837. He died in this city Sept. 26, 1902, aged 75 years, 5 months and 3 days.
    He was married to Harriet Louis Van Dyck, daughter of Dr. Stephen and Antonette Van Dyck, October 9th, 1849, at Naperville, Ill., who died November 2, 1896. By this marriage, two daughters and one son were born - Ida S., wife of W. P. Wright; Evelyn Van Dyck, wife of Wm. LeBaron, and Julian E., all residents of Chicago.
    On the first day of February, 1899, Mr. Sleight was married to Miss Caroline Dora Saylor, daughter of Thomas and Theresa Saylor at Naperville, and to them one child was born, a daughter, Delcara, both of whom survive husband and father.
    In earlier years, Mr. Sleight was engaged in the mercantile and livery business, but after the death of his parents found ample occupation in taking care of his private interests.
    He donated the site on which North Western college stands, and placed several additions within the corporate limits of this city, selling lots at reasonable prices and on easy terms of payment, making it possible for men of moderate means to secure homes.
    For many years it was his custom to spend the severest winter months in Florida, returning after warm weather reached this latitude. Last winter's sojourn in the southland did not afford expected restoration of vitality, but he came home a sufferer and gradually declined until the thread of life was suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly severed.
    Mr. Sleight was companionable, kept his own counsel, formed his own conclusions and acted upon them without hesitation. In his dealings he was fair and just, exacting no more than was right between man and man, and always liberally remunerating those who performed faithful service for him in any capacity.
