     Delia was born at NY, USA, in 1841. The 1870 census has her age 30, the 1880 is age 38, and the 1900 age 50.

He died on 27 June 1938 at Harbor Springs, Emmet County, MI, USA, at age 72. The Compiler holds 3 copies of his grandfathers obituary notices, none of them with a newpapers heading. One said that he died Sunday and two say that he died Monday morning. I believe that it is likely that he diied very early Monday. According to the obituaries, he died after a lingering illnes of several months.Notes from Leroy O. Voorkies in the Sanford Witherell files says that he died of Cancer of the colon. His funeral was held at his home in the Hedrick District of Pleasant View and conducted by Rev. G. A. Weaver and Arthur Pontius..

The registration card gave additional information on him: "Age 19, born 30 Nov 1899, resides in Harbor Springs, drives auto for F. R. Harrison (The R. is not very clear and may be an error). Has wife Reva G. Smith.His birth date differs from what Compiler had been given.". He appeared on the census of 1920 at Lansing, Ingham County, MI, USA. The census lists the family as: James E.

Pallbears were John Smith, Roger Wardell, Mike Shepler, Tom Shepler, Kurt Kessler, and Sidney McDonald.. He was buried at Eastlawn Memory Gardens, at Okemos, Ingham County, MI, USA, .¹

     It is possible tht the death year is in error as a letter from Leroy O. Voorkies to Sanford Witherell, dated January 31, 1977 says that James is senile and dying of cancer in a care center in Lansing.

     Edith Smith was born in 1879 at Canton, Wayne County, MI, USA. She was the daughter of John Smith and Alice Unknown.

     Electa Smith was born in 1805 at NY, USA. In her father Curtis Smith, 14 June 1820 letter to the War Department he said that she was age 10, which would make her birth about 1809. This would be very young for the birth of her first child in Aug 1824, but not impossible. At her death, her age was given as 67 which would be 1804 to 1805. She was the daughter of Curtis Smith and Mary Williams. She married Ephrain Bigelow at NY circa 1823. This marriage date is not known and the recorded date is based on birth of their first child.. She married Abram Eli Hotchkin Sr. at NY in 1828. Electa Smith appeared on the census of 1860 at Belvidere, Boone County, IL, USA. The census lists the family as: Hochkin, M., 50 (1809), NY, widow; Alvan, 30 (1829), no birth location; Louise, 25 (1834), NY;
House #815 Frank, 23 (1836), NY; Smith, 16 (1843), NY; Henry, 14 (1845), NY; Emma, 13 (1846), NY; James, 11 (1848), no birth location; Rosella, 9 (1850), no birth location.. She died on 7 February 1873 at Newfane, Niagara County, NY, USA.³ She was buried at North Ridge Cemetery, at Ransomville, Niagara County, NY, USA, . Sec 2, Lot 102.

     According to the Bigelow Family Genealogy, Electa had a first marriage to Ephraim Bigelow, son of Levi Bigelow and Lucy Sampson. They resided in Clarkson, Genesse Co., NY; which is now in Monroe Co., NY. The Bigelow Genealogy claims that they had two children, these children are Lavisa (Louvisa) and Ransom, raised by Abram Eli as his own and shown in the 1840 and 1850 census as Hotchkin. Electa's obituary was published in the Lockport Daily Journal 28 February 1873: "relict of late Abram Eli Hotchkin, age 67 years, died 7 February 1873." Elsie Hotchkin Moon located her grave in North Ridge Cemetery, Cambria, Niagara Co., NY in Section 2, Lot #102. Her grave differs from her obituary on month of death and gives the date as 7 January 1873. The notice did not say where she died and it seems unusual that it would take so long to publish an obituary for someone who died locally. The gravestone said that she was the wife of Abraham; instead of using Abram, which was the name commonly used by the family. It is possible that Electa was living with one of her children in Belvidere, IL or in Michigan, as she has never been located in the 1870 census. Records on her son Edwin refers to her as Electa Smith, confirming her maiden name which is further confirmed by Polly Smith being in their home at the 1850 MI census.
     Niagara Landmarks says that she returned to Newfane, NY in 1860 after the death of her husband 2 years earlier.^4,5
