Delilah Susan Bowers married Henry Franklin "Frank" Dollahon on 30, April 1889, at the home of the groom's stepmother, (Anna Marie Mabus Dollahon 1856 – 1937) Edwards County, Illinois. Delilah Susan Bowers died on 2, May 1943, at Kenmare, Ward County, North Dakota, at age 78 and a half years. She was buried at Lakeview Cemetery at North Dakota. Lila Bowers, although born in Indiana, lived there only about four years, for the family came to the area near Noble, Illinois in 1869. By the time she married, the family had moved to Red Head School District, in Bonpas (pronounced Bum-paw) Township of Richland County, Illinois. After she and Frank were married, they lived in that general area for several years, perhaps both in Edwards and Richland Counties. Frank was a farmer and was, at one time, employed by Dr. S. S. Canby. Land records at the Richland County Court House show that, in 1900, Frank and Lila bought an acre of land from Peter Bowers, just east of the Walnut Grove Church of the Brethren. That is now [1979] part of the parsonage. "About 1902, Frank and Delila left Illinois to homestead in North Dakota. They were there until their deaths, coming back only for visits. The Bowers famly was a close one, and Lila was greatly missed, especially by her youngest sister Maranda who once wrote that she thought she couldn't live without Lila but had to find out she could. Maranda said she thought Lila was more like her father than any of the other children. Perhaps she meant Lila could take things as they came and enjoy living. Anyway, some of the nieces and nephews remember that "Aunt Lila was a lot of fun". Lila spent the last years (perhaps six) in a hospital in Kenmare. Her sister Maranda visited her there in 1941.
