Notes
a. Note:   Birth date and location from family records. His birth was too early for recording in the Wisconsin State Vital Records office, although an inquiry was made. Margaret Buller uses a birth date of October 29, 1848, from cemetery records of the Gridley-Biggs Cemetery District (copy in possession of Margaret Buller, furnished to Douglas Detling). David Liesse uses October 20, 1848. His obituary in the Gridley Herald, p. 3, October 18, 1924, states he was born October 20, 1847 in Wisconsin. Death listed in CADI. Cemetery record lists the cause of death as cerebral hemorrhage.
  Joseph's middle name is subject to further research. South Dakota birth information for three of his sons have different spellings for his middle name: Hila, Hilyer and Hiliariu. The oldest, for Elmer Joe Detling, is suspect because it records the father's name of "Josephine Hila Detling " ( SD Certified Vital Records File Number 497957, file date 8/15/1939). Clarence Jay Detling's birth certificate records the father's name as "Joseph Hilyer Detling" (SD Certified Vital Records File Number 757768, file date unknown), and LeRoy Ellsworth Detling's certificate lists the father as "Joseph Hilariu Detling" (SD Certified Vital Records File Number 783146, file date 9/1/1960).
  Not definitive are California Voter Registration Records for 1900-1968 recently made available online. He is registered in Butte Co. as Joseph H. Detling (image 552 of 839) and as Joseph Hallrians Detling (image 777 of 839) for 1900-1914, and Joseph H. Detling (images 110, 375, 495 of 1173) for 1916-1930. In image 201, he is shown as Joseph Hellarius Detling.
  Douglas Detling believes an alternative spelling might be Hilarus. Howard Detilng (Doug's father) contended in conversations that his grandfather's name was Hilarious, and mentioned that his cousins referred to Joseph by that term.
  According to his obituary, Joseph moved to the Dakota Territory (what is now South Dakota) in 1881, and to Gridley, Butte Co., California in 1908. He was one of the organizers of the Gridley Farmers Union, and served as its secretary for a number of years.

  1910 Census data shows the then existing family structure:
  Joseph H. Detling 56, b. in Wisconsin (making his birth year 1854, likely an error)
 Mary A. Detling 56, b. in Wisconsin
 Clarence J Detling 15
 Roy E. Detling 11
  This census records Mary A. Detling's mother's birthplace as Wisconsin (this is incorrect).
  Roy E. Detling is LeRoy Ellsworth Detling.
