Narrative

Note: Researching Delphus W. Huffman

After the early part of his life, where he appears in his father's household in federal and state census records through 1880, the next record I have been able to find for Delphus is a marriage record in late 1895 in King Cty, Washington, to Louisa Lucinda "Lulu" Herndon. This marriage was quite short-lived, as Lulu died on Christmas Eve of 1896.

By 1900, Delphus was counted in the census as a widower and a boarder in Fall City, King Cty, Washington. I have not been able to find a listing for Delphus in the 1910 US Census, though in late 1919 he is recorded as remarrying, this time to Iowa-born Edna Sheridan Lovering. The two of them were recorded in census records for Fall City in each of the 1920, 1930 and 1940 US Censuses. Delphus died in 1944, and Edna would follow in 1959. I have not yet found burial locations for either of them.

Delphus and Lulu do not appear to have had any children prior to her death; the timing of her death (just over a year after their marriage) suggests she may have died in childbirth or from other complications of pregnancy, but this is only speculation on my part. I have found no birth records naming either of them as parents, and no children appear with Delphus in the 1900 US Census record.

As Delphus and Edna did not marry until they were each several years into their forties, I would expect they had no children, either. No children are counted in their household in the years following their marriage.
