Delila Stents..23..OH
(Living with husband and 3 children.)
NOTE - The highly stylized handwriting of the enumerator sometimes causes her age to be index as 62 instead of what appears to be 23. If her birth date was 16 Dec 1824, her age should have been 25 instead of 23.

Although spelling of given names varies widely, it certainly appears that Delilah's name was misspelled as "Deliah" which is a variant I've never seen before and I would not know how to pronounce it.
