Dell Hibbard
Henry
Adelbert "Dell" Hibbard, son of R.P. and
M.R. Hibbard, moved to
Texas in 1876 with his parents and three
brothers.
His brothers :
Charles M.
Hibbard, a tinner by trade and had a
successful business in Denison
Walter S.
Hibbard, owner of Denison Grocer
Company
Fred P.
Hibbard, in partnership with his
brother, Walter; he passed away in
1900
Dell, known
as Henry A. Hibbard for most of his
life, was a proprietor of a retail
grocery establishment in Denison.
The
1891 Denison City Directory lists both Dell
Hibbard and Henry A.
Hibbard as clerks at Hibbard Bros. Dell
Hibbard is shown rooming with
a Katy freight conductor named George
McChesney. McChesney lived at 622
W. Gandy, next door to Walter S. Hibbard at
624. Henry A. Hibbard is
shown residing at 629 W. Woodard, which was
also the address of another
brother, Charles M. Hibbard. Dell may
have lived at both
addresses during the same year, giving his
name as "Henry A."
Dell married married Mollie Curry
(1865-1918) in 1892; she died in 1918
and is buried at Fairview Cemetery,
suggesting that she may have been a
victim of flu or pneumonia. Dell
(Henry) then married Winona "Nona"
Glasgow, the sister of Laura Glasgow
Cain and Lila Lillian Glasgow Ansley. Henry
and Nona were probably married sometime in
1919 as they were already wed by the 1920
Census enumeration date of January 14.
Winona
"Nona" Glasgow was the daughter of Mrs. C.
(Levisa) Spurlin as listed in Mrs. Spurlin's
1941 obituary.
(NOTE:
Levisa married J.H. Glasgow, c1860, and
married C. Spurlin twenty years later,
1880.)
The children are
all listed that year with last names of
Spurlin, but their father was Mr. Glasgow.The Spurlin family
was enumerated in
Arkansas on June 4, 1880. Depending on when
Crawford Spurlin and Levisa married, Frank
could have been the son of either of her
husbands. Crawford Spurlin is listed as a
tanner in 1880. In the 1890s he was a
bootmaker/shoemaker in Denison.
The
1901-1902 Denison City Directory lists H.
Adelbert Hibbard as a
salesman for Hibbard Bros.; and his home
was located at 514 N.
Houston Avenue.
Dell and Nona lived in Ft. Worth during the
1930s. By
the time he died in 1955, he had moved from
Fort Worth to Dallas. After
his death, Nona shipped his body back to
Denison for burial in Fairview
Cemetery; Nona was the informant on his
death certificate, which
gives his middle name as "Delbert." He is also
listed among the burials
in Fairview as "Henry Delbert Hibbard".
Nona herself is not buried with Henry
Delbert in Fairview. She stayed in Dallas,
where she died in 1964
