Maston James & Delilah Thrasher, Part VI

July 15, 1880, Delila was enumerated for the last time. She continued to live in the Big Lick township of Roanoke County, Virginia.

She lived in the home of her son, Harry, and next door to her son Isaac. The ages listed for the family members in this census record do not agree with other records. That makes me wonder if someone other than a family member provided the information.

According to the census record, those in the first home were:
Harry James, still single but running a farm; His mother, Delilah; Her daughters, Mary E., and Emma; a servant and an employee.

Next door is Delilah's son Isaac, his wife Henrietta, and their children: William, Nancy, and Estelle. His farm also included an employee.

Nine years later, on December 11, 1889, Delilah passed away. She was laid to rest in the Thrasher-Short Cemetery, in Roanoke, Virginia.
