Notes:

[R05.2.4.2]

married in Hart Co KY at her father's house
buried in Cedar Flats cemetery, Metcalfe Co KY

Did he also have a son William Delmer 1887-01-25 Eighty Eight, Barren Co KY?
(The 1910 census says they had 9 children, so William wouldn't fit. I don't have another possibility for
him, though.)

--
He was a laborer.
