1850-52 John and Christian Frick came to Noble Co, Indiana 

1852, April 11, Magdalene (Klossner) died. 
 

John Frick settled one and one half miles east of Springfield, later named cosperville, Indiana. He and his brother cleared ground in the wilderness and built homes a short distance apart. Christian married Emily Dukes and they had 11 children. a number of his grandchildren lived in Northern Indiana. Ford Frick, Baseball Commissioner of New York was his grandson. 

When Delilah Boyd married John Frick, he was a widower with four small children ranging in age one thru seven. They had a large family together. she was a busy mother and housewife. 

Delilah's Story  

After the death of John Frick in 1872, Delilah was left with a large family. she took over the farm left by her husband and with proper management added much to its value, reared her famiy, was a kind mother and highly respected neighbor. She lived on the same farm for over sixty years. 

During the years she also made a home for James VanClief Boyd, her brother Eston's son, 
after James mother, Sarah Frisbey Boyd died on Dec. 30, 1865. 

Grace Mawhorter, a step grand-daughter also lived with her for a number of years. Grace married Herbert Geiger and had four children. They lived in Idaho where she died about 1911.                                  

Delilah also cared for her aged father part of the time during his last years. He spent half of the time with his daughter Elizabeth Frisbey and family and half with Delilah. He passed away at the home of Delilah when he was a little more than 88 years old. 

Quite often she came to visit her sister Elizabeth. She was kind, jolly, witty and sometimes quite outspoken. she was interested in her nieces and what kind of men they had married. She expressed a genuine concern aobut the affairs of relatives in general. 

As was quite the fad in her younger days, she learned to smoke a pipe. Most every dress had a pocket in it where she carried the pipe and tobacco. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy a "good smoke". 

After her death, her son Edward stayed on the farm. 
The original house had been arranged for the two families. In later years it was remodeled but still looked much the same place. 

When the Frisbeys visited her, they journeyed the 18 miles with two good horses hitched to a lumber wagon. It took most of the day and they always stayed overnight. It was quite a treat to go to Noble County from the farm west of LaGrange, via the "Old Hogback", to visit at Aunt Lila's. 

(This was Frances Dekker who rode in the wagon to go visit at Aunt Lila's.)
