All, I've found the identity of Delma's husband Nathan. The funeral home mentioned in Delma's obituary also handled her husband's funeral. He was James Nathan Lovelace of Iuka, born 14 December 1926, died 13 March 2011. His obit is here: http://www.cutshallfuneralhome.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=1104173&f h_id=12936 Family trees on Ancestry have him as the son of Benjamin Franklin Lovelace and Ollie Othea Bray. The 1940 census shows him in Tishomingo Co., MS, age 13, in the home of Franklin and Ollie, with younger brothers Carvis, Joseph Avon, Donal Udell, and an infant. Franklin is 44, b. ca 1896 in Mississippi. Living next to him is George Lovelace, age 41 (b. ca 1899 in MS) and wife Meliva, with dau. Joy Bell and son Lee Roy. FindAGrave memorial #63614930 is for Benjamin Franklin Lovelace, b. 10 Apr 1894, d. 4 Feb 1942. He is buried in Harmony Methodist Church Cemetery in Iuka. The memorial says he is the son of James W. Lovelace (1860-1918) and Frances Ann Brown (1857-1944). James also has a memorial on FindAGrave, #63615029. His grave marker in Harmony Cemetery lists all his children on the back side, including Franklin and George. It shows his dates as 11 Feb 1860 to 27 Oct 1918. The 1910 census of Burnsville, Tishomingo Co., MS show James W. and Francis A. Lovelace, age 50 and 53, respectively, with a house full of children including all the children listed on his grave marker (Franklin is listed in the census as Benjamin F.) except for John and Joseph. There is a Joseph D. listed next door with a wife of 2 years and a small child. The census shows that James was born in TN. The 1860 census of Lauderdale Co., TN (Ripley PO, 2 Civil District) shows a Joseph and Nancy Lovelace with a son James, 5 months old. This fits with James of Tishomingo above. Joseph is a wheelwright, age 29, b. SC (ca 1831). Nancy was b. TN. Ancestry has a marriage license recorded on 26 May 1857 in Lauderdale Co., TN for Joseph Lovelace to Nancy H. Temple.

I don't know who her husband Nathan is, but speaking of the Newberry Five, several of Hazel's descendents are buried in this same cemetery, as well as one of his son's in-laws.
