Notes:

Justice of the Peace L.A. Mitchell performed the wedding ceremony. Dellah died at "the Sullens place" north of Clay City, Illinois. There is also a tombstone in the Leonard/Snyder Cemetery, Clay City, Clay County, Illinois which has her name on it. One of the two tombstones shows her date of birth as 1876, the other shows that she was born in 1879. There is another tombstone in the North Freedom Cemetery, Olney, Richland County, Illinois which shows a Della Yauch who died on 15 February 1876. Need to investigate this Della to see if there is any relationship.

Birth:
Della's headstone says she was born in 1876. Oscar and Della's newer headstone says she was born in 1879. There is also a Della Yauch, born and died in 1876.
