Dalta was the son Of Benjamin and Agnes Shelton of Wayne Co. IL. His brothers Earl, Carl, and Bernie were The Shelton Gang. The June 19, 1950 TIME magazine tells of his brothers violent deaths, and has a photo of Dalta caring for his mother.
Dalta married Mamie E Conaway Feb 12, 1912. They had an unnamed baby that died in 1913.
He remarried Lillie Biggs (maiden name Myers) and the 1830 Wayne c census list family as
Dalta
Lillie
Edward (whom was really a Biggs)
Dorthy
Earl
Carl

Little Earl and Little Carl became active gang members, then fought in WWII and were solid citizens after that.

Dalta was short an stocky, a successful farmer near Cisne, IL. He refrained from drinking and smoking. But he did his fair amount of time at the Shelton run "Farmers Club " in Fairfield where he dealt poker and Black Jack.

"He had to many wives and girlfriends to count" There are divorces in Fla for Virginia E Shelton, and Evelyn Eliza Shelton
