Della Newcomb and Edward Clark
B.M. Newcomb indicated that Delia Miriam Clark (b. 28 Apr 1846) was the daughter of Julia Ann (Kelley) and Sylvester H. Newcomb. Presumably Delia was short for Fidelia (which appears as her name in the 1850 census). However, census and cemetery records indicate that she was called Delia. BMN gave her husband's name as Eberly E. Clark. Census and cemetery records indicate that he was called Edward (possible his middle name).
