Notes for Pearl Havelin
117Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, Delia was married later in life to Pearl Havelen of Murray, IA. They separated when both was in their late 60's and never divorced, but lived a block apart in separate houses in Murray, IA. If I can help you any further, please let me know. I'm doing my maternal side now, plus I'm the Director of The Birthplace of John Wayne, museum, here in Winterset, IA. Carolyn Carper Wilson
Notes for Cordelia “Delia” (Spouse 1)
another source says b. 16 Jan 1871
117 Notes from my Grandmother Delia Carper Havelin, who was Willard and Vivian’s mother. She told me that she went to the Carper home to take care of the kids after Robert’s wife, Laura died. They eventually married. She said that he was a very mean man to the two younger children as he was nearly 50 years plus when they were born. She was 25 years old when they married; therefore he was almost 25 years older than she was! After my father, Willard ran away from home at the age of 9, to the neighbors, because of the beatings with a buggy whip, Grandmother decided to leave him. She moved to New Virginia, Iowa to live and work. All of her early adult life was spent taking care of families, who needed someone to deliver babies, and she was referred to as a mid-wife, along with just everyday duties that a woman in this era was expected to do. (Note: She helped deliver my husband, Richard Ray Farr in Murray, Iowa). From New Virginia she, Willard and Vivian moved to Murray, Iowa where she married Pearl Havlin and lived. They, in their later years, separated, never divorced, and both are buried in the Murray Cemetery. She also told me that she thought Robert Nathan was shot at the well, pumping water, by a neighbor. Seems that Robert was seducing his wife and found out about it, but it was all covered up by the people closest to him.
