Jim Dellas

Jim Dallas (s/b Jim Dellas) is the great grandfather of Peter Dellas and the husband of Caliope. His last name was spelled Jim Dellas in the United States but is actually Dimitrios Aggelakis in Greece. He went by the name of Jim Dellas because of his strength. The term Dellas means strong and Jim is commonly substituted for Dimitrios. After the death of her husband in the Castle Gate mine explosion his wife Caliope carried the Dellas name to honor him. In the Price cemetery it is listed as Delakis. He had two sons, Peter & George, and a daughter, Mary. His wife was one of the four widows who chose to return to Crete, Greece after the accident.

Information about Jim Dellas received from Peter Dellas.
