The marker shown here is a replacement for the original marker. The original Edwardsville Cemetery was moved to Canute, OK to allow the construction of Foss Reservoir in 1958.
All documents I have seen have her name as Delina, including a first-hand interview that was conducted in 1937, the obituary of her husband, as well as all census records through 1950. Her father's sister was also named Delina.
Very few of the original gravestones survived the move. This stone is, like most of the other stones, a replacement. Delina being a rather unusual name, the person making the stones probably thought Delila was the correct name. [Roger Morton]
