 * Della Reddick's early dates from various sources are not consistent.  The 1900, 1910 & 1920 census indicate she was born in 1890. Her obituary gives her birthdate as 17 Jan 1886. Researcher Jan Finke lists her marriage date to John Wick as 9 June 1914; however, the 1930 census indicates she was age 21 at that marriage, so (born in 1893?).
