Diltz
Emma Evertson was born in Kentucky in 1875. She married Hershel Diltz, who was born in Illinois in about 1870. They were married in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1894. Hershel is also listed as Budge Hershel and he may have also gone by Buddy. They two sons, Hubert, 1897- 1957 and David, born in 1916.
By 1920 they had moved to California and were living in Glendale, at 1664 Glendale Avenue, on rented property that is now Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Hershel was working as a house carpenter.
From 1930 onward, they are listed at RFD 1, box 63, Camarillo. The census listings show RFD 1 -Camarillo and Thousand Oaks. The 1930 Census lists Emma as being the owner of a restaurant. Budy (Buddy or Budge) is still listed as a house carpenter, son David, then 14 is living there as well. Budge’s father was also a carpenter. This census lists the place as Conejo District, Camarillo Township and Thousand Oaks School District.
Emma appears in the 1940 Census, living in Camarillo on RR 1. In that census she is listed as living with a grandson, Delmar, 14. She is 66 and there is no occupation listed. She is widowed by that time. Budge had died on April 17, 1937. Also listed as living on the same property at that time are a Jack Cavanaugh, 40, who was apparently operating the Café and his wife Betty. Joan Carney, a cousin, age 13, is also listed, as is a housekeeper Lyenn Binkley.
Emma died on May 4, 1942 in Ventura County and is buried in Ivy Lawn Cemetery in Ventura. Budge, who had died in 1937 is also buried in Ivy Lawn. Find a Grave does not have a picture of their gravesite but does have one for Budge’s father Lyman Diltz, and who served in the Civil War with the 105th Indiana Volunteers.

That's amazing,
oldstuff! I can't believe you found
so much information, virtually all of which was previously unknown to me!
In fact, the only thing I know from the above is of "Hershel 'Budge' Diltz" and of Emma Evertson. The family always referred to Hershel as Budge. I also knew that the family was from
somewhere in Colorado. Beyond that, all of the above is completely new information to me. That stuff about Lyman Diltz is particularly interesting to me.
Thanks so much for digging up all of this information,
oldstuff! I will add all of it to my family records.
PS: Sorry for my late (and brief) response to your post... some troubles have arisen in my life which I am still dealing with. I haven't had much time for the internet in the past few days. Sadly, I have to rush back to dealing with it right now...
