The fourth child of Ann Sweaney was born 6 Oct 1856 in Dallas Co., MO. Bud Randleman of Windyville, MO. has a letter in his possession from Michael Randleman after he had moved to Oregon wherein he had written to Ann Sweaney inquiring about Delila as she had quit writing to him.

By 1880 she is living with Jane Periman and her children and she has Anna, aged two and Everett, 6 mos. On one side of them was the Abijah and Babe Bennett household and on the other is Jasper and Irena (Hildebrand) Lemons family and Phillips homes on both sides of them. It is unknown at this time what relationship was Jane Periman. She may have been a Sweaney relative because her children are named William, Levi, Allen and Isaac. She appears to be the widow, Martha Jane, of James Peryman (see 1860 c).

Delila contracted tuberculosis (usually associated with poor nutrition) and died in 1891. She is buried at Lone Rock Cemetery. The Buffalo Reflex records, "Delila Sweaney died July 25 at the home of A. B. Bennett. Was buried at the Lone Rock graveyard on the 26th. Aged 35 years . . . Tilden." (BR 30 July 1891)

Her sister, Babe, took in her two orphaned children and reared them as her own.
