Generation: 1
1. | Dilla Dillo Shaw was born on 12 Sep 1884 in Erath County, Texas; died on 23 Jun 1974 in Erath County, Texas; was buried in Haskell Cemetery, Haskell County, Texas. Notes:
Her middle name might instead be Dorcas.
She died in an auto accident. The social security death index instead lists her year of birth as 1885, and date of death as Jan 1974. It appears that the news article relating to the Keaton and Dillo Wright family reunion, from which her birth and death date were taken, would be more accurate. Her last residence on the SSDI was Rochester, Haskell County, Texas.
Dilla married Keaton James Wright on 23 Sep 1904 in Haskell County, Texas. Keaton (son of William Keaton Wright and Margaret F. McLemore) was born on 23 Sep 1881 in Comanche County, Texas; died on 11 May 1966 in Jud, Haskell County, Texas; was buried in Haskell Cemetery, Haskell County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
