Idelaid "Delia" Morin was born in 1858 (according to her tombstone), somewhere in Illinois (according to the 1900 census).
She married Peter Sorell in 1881, possibly in Rooks County, Kansas. They began farming outside St. Joseph, Cloud County, Kansas, where all their children were born. Peter and Idelaid later moved to Plainville, Kansas where they continued to farm assisted by their son, Aldemore. When old age precluded farming, they (including Aldemore and his family) moved to Jamestown, Kansas.
According to one tradition (from Alice Alexander), they lived in a sod house that they built into the side of a hill; this same tradition states that they homesteaded this (second?) farm (perhaps this is after 1900?).
Idelaid was the mother of 7 children, 6 sons and 1 daughter. She died on June 19, 1935, and is buried in the Concordia Catholic Cemetery along with Peter, with a single headstone.
