DELIAH
(DELILAH) TROUTMAN
1858- 1933
Delilah
Warner was born in Kansas (one source says Indiana) 1858 and married Jonas
(Jonah) Troutman about 1883 in Kansas as well. He was a merchant in 1900 census. The couple had two sons: M:. LeRoy and Joe
E ; eventually, they found their way to Wyoming
where Cora Troutman Conner (md
G.F.A. Conner) lived. Fred and Cora
lived in Ten Sleep on the alley behind the tourist camp of little log cabins on
Main street in the 1930Ős. On the main street, a large barn
was erected and the loft was used to house M. LeRoy Troutman (widower) and his
son, Donald L Troutman (1927-2008)[1]
lived temporarily after his mother Delilah passed away in 1933. All of these
persons were born and resided in Lincoln, Kansas for a number of years. During their time in Ten
Sleep, Conner and Wood ran a grocery
store on main street. The store was sold to Sam McPike of Worland and thereafter, the Conner family were
also gone. The Conners
were devout Seventh Day Adventists and of good repute.
[1] Donald Troutman and his father, M. LeRoy Troutman, stayed for about 1 year in the loft of the barn and then left. My family lived across the street from the barn and experienced some concern for their comfort for them.
