Captain O. G. DELK 

Suffolk, Va., July 14 - Captain O.G. Delk, for many years captain of an Old 
Dominion steamer, running out of Norfolk died today at his home in Smithfield, 
Va.  He is survived by a family. 


Captain O.G. DELK, Old Dominion steamboat captain, 
b. 14 Aug 1838, Southampton Co., d. 14 Jul 1906, at home, Smithfield, 
interred in Ivy Hill Cemetery*, Smithfield, 
"Times-Dispatch" (Richmond, VA), July 15, 1906

His first name is extremely difficult to decipher.  I read it as Owighton, 
   but that's a best guess.  FamilySearch.org has it variously as Creighton, 
   Dwighton, and Quighton, and his son as Covington. 

He was married thrice - 
   1m. 20 Jan 1859 Roseana GWALTNEY, dt/o Willis & Winnifred; 
   2m. 3 Sep 1863 Laura V. CHAPMAN, dt/o Charles & Lavinia; and 
   3m. 18 Dec 1873 Anna M. SPRATLEY, dt/o A.G. & Livinia.

O.G.'s daughter Anna Cary DELK m. 22 Mar 1899 George W. DELK, 
   son of Benjamin Hardy DELK & first wife Martha A. WHITLEY*. 
   Anna's child George Wighton DELK (1907-1912) is also buried at Ivy Hill. 

*Benjamin & Martha's marriage was recorded twice in the Isle of Wight Co.
