Dely's birth was reported in the Shasta Republican
dated 23-Jan-1858 which may not be her actual birth
date. See "Shasta County California 1852-1880, Births,
Deaths, Divorces and Marriages Recorded Elsewhere" by
Corrine G. Hoffpauir (1986). The 1870 WA Census for
WallaWalla County, page 314 gives her age as 11.
When Dely's father's estate was probated in 1893, she
was listed as Josephine McGoon living in Portland, OR,
by her stepmother. Her husband Charles died and is buried
beside her parents in Portland along with an infant. She
evidently had remarried prior to her father's death in 1893.
Any information about Dely and her family would be
appreciated.
