Delia Carr 875-19110, died Gladstone, Delta, MI of TB. Her father, Edward B. Carr
1848-1919 was married to Wilheminia sp? "Minnie" Deckert 1853-1909. Delia had
only one sibling, a sister Harriett "Hattie" Carr that married a Richter and
lived in MO.
Delia shows up in the 1900 census in Gladstone, living with parents, and it shows she has
had one child, and that child is living. There is no name, sex, or age listed for the
child. It shows " under the surname area for Delia so she was listed as Carr.
On her death certificate it says she has had 5 children of which 3 are alive.
I have no proof that Delia married a Vosburg. Her death certificate lists her as married
and with the last name Shanley. She died May 7, 1910. Her father, Edward B. Carr was the
informant on her death certificate. IF this is the right woman, her oldest child, a
daughter should be named Ruth Eva Vosburg and would have been born in 1893.
Less than a month later, Delia's father is the informant on a Frank Shanley's
death certificate. He is listed as widowed, and several lines have "unknown" for
the answer. I suspect this was Delia's husband as he was buried in the same cemetery,
Fernwood, as she.
Ruth Eva Vosburg shows up in 1907 in the court index and it only says "minor" as
the type of case. It does not show the other party involved.
Who were Delia's children? Did Delia marry a Vosburg?
Is anyone out there researching this line? I need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help.
