Delilah was born and raised on a farm behind Pleasant Ridge United Methodist Church (1915 Keltnertown Road) near Keltner, KY. When she was near death Aunt Margie Coffey said that she insisted that someone bring her some water from the spring on her "Homeplace" because she said it was the sweetest water she had ever tasted. I am a descendant of William Riley and Delilah's son Mack. He married Elizabeth Francis ("Fannie") Munday". Mack and Fannie's daughter Ina River Coomer Coffey was my grandmother.
