Wilma, I'll forward your questions about Odie to my brother and have him check with mom. I may have transposed the death date and made 1945 into 1954. I don't have a source for that date. Also, I didn't see his grave at the Wolf River Cemetery, but I only recorded 47 Delk's or Delk spouses when I visited there several years ago and there are probably many many more. I have several dates for James Alfred Delk. His birth must have been in 1859 (rather than 1856) because he was 1 on the 1860 census and 11 on the 1870 census. His death may have been in 1924, 1927 or 1929. I haven't found any records to confirm when. The dates on his tombstone were provided long after his death, I think by his younger children: Zelma, Edna, Hazel, Elsie and Bill.

Do you know if he had more than one wife? On the death date, Gary Norris Cemetery book says he died June 1, 1945 and is buried at Wolf River Cemetery. I have the same dates you do for his birth and the 1900 census bear that out the best I recall. Mustard Gas is all I have ever heard of, my mothers brother was gassed when he was over there and it killed him too, but he didn't live as long as Odie, my uncle died in 1931. Was Odie called Hollens/Holland Delk? I think I have heard my dad and uncle speak of a Hollands Delk. I have James A. Delk died at 79 years of age, for his dates I have June 7, 1856 d. November 15, 1929, is the dates you have? I think I got my dates from Zelma. Wilma Gibson ==== TNFENTRE Mailing List ==== Does Anyone Ever Read the Taglines ???
