From an article in the January 11, 1911, issue of The Tipton Times, "Delia" was 19 years and 10 months old when she died. She was the daughter of John Sponsler and the wife of E.R. Caldwell. The Moniteau County Historical Society's listing of burials in Moniteau County (moniteau.net) list her as Delia Caldwell. According to her father's records (will and pension), her name is Cecila; she was born on March 8, 1891; and her son was named Orrin.

The following is an article from the January 19, 1911, issue of The Washington Journal, Adams County, Washington, as provided by contributor #47544482, gapwork90.

Mrs. Oscar Caldwell died at Phoenix, Arizona, last Saturday. She was the daughter of John Sponsler of this city, and went to Arizona for her health about a month ago. Death was due to tuberculosis. She is survived by a husband and one child, about a year old. The body was taken to Tipton, Missouri, for burial beside her mother.

NOTE: Both articles contain variations of some names. On cemetery records for Tipton Odd Fellows Cemetery, her parents' names are Sponcler, not Sponsler, and she is listed as "Delia", per the article in the Tipton Times. Also, the Tipton article refers to her husband as E.R. Caldwell; the article from the State of Washington has his name as Oscar. In the will of her father, his name is Edward.

There is a large Sponcler family stone at the cemetery and there are pictures at Moniteau.net of the stone and of the markers for her parents. Since there are no photos of a marker for her, I am assuming her grave is unmarked.
