Delma Posey and Mary Ella Durham married sometime between the 1920 and 1930 US Census enumerations. They had (at least) two children:
Rosaline D. Posey (b. ca. 1931) and
Cecil Posey (b. ca. 1936.)
It seems likely that It seems likely that Ronald Posey (1926-1929,) who is buried in the same plot, was also their child.

In 1930 Delma worked in a printing office; in 1940 both Delma and Ella worked for "Observer" (probably a reference to The Moultrie Observer,) he as a printer and she as a binder. They owned a home at 600 4th Street SW in Moultrie.

Information other than that taken from survey (see "Inscription") came from US Census enumerations for 1930 (with husband in Moultrie,) and 1940 (with husband and children in Moultrie;) and Georgia Deaths, 1919-98 (Certificate 015915, showing final residence in Dougherty County, Georgia.)
