Della was occupied as a stenographer per her death certificate

The family seems to have changed their surname from Cahalan to Carlin perhaps after Della's father died. His obituary in 1916 used the Cahalan surname with Carlin in parentheses and Della's mother's obituary in 1918 did the exact opposite so it's a bit unclear why they used 2 surnames. Della's brother William's obituary in 1904 only used the Cahalan surname.

Della's death certificate and obituary used the surname Carlin.
