Wesley and Delphie Hurst apparently were deceased by 1880. They were not remembered by
their grandchildren, the children of Calvin, although their names were remembered. One tradition
states that she had a stroke. He was worried sick about her and did not long survive her. We have
looked in vain for their tombstones at Deer Lodge. Probably they were buried on their farm and
perhaps no stone marked their graves. She may have lived to the age of 65, and he to age 60. They
had lived lives of toil and hardship and doubtless seemed old to others and to themselves.
