John & Delia had 5 sons. Lyman Jay, Lyle Dee, Fred, Edward Charles, and Ray. Lyman went by Jay and married Sarah White. Lyle went by the name Dee, passed away during WW1. Fred died young. Edward married Doris Derk. And Ray, my grandfather married Edith Webster.
When I started researching my family tree, my maternal grandfather had a brother that was in the 1900 & 1910 Census that disappeared after 1910 along with his mother Cordeila (Delia) Lash. I can’t find for certain what happened to Delia (I have a clue, but nothing for certain yet) but as for Fred I have found these documents…
