| 362 | David Stary-Sheets An Anchor Bay memorial service is pending for David Stary-Sheets, a noted art dealer and former Gualala resident, who died at his home in Irvine on May 31, at the age of 60. Born August 23, 1939, in Claremont, California, he graduated from Webb School for Boys and attended Claremont Mens College, Chaffey College, and San Diego State University. After college, he built custom homes and began designing and building furniture. In 1980, he married Susan Stary and moved to Gualala where he crafted one-of-a-kind custom furniture for clients, both locally and nationally. Through his close relationship with his artist father, the late Millard Sheets, and exposure to the artists in Southern California, he developed special appreciation for the field of art history known as California Regionalism, which focused on art in California in the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s. He became a recognized authority in that field, and he and his wife Susan opened Stary-Sheets Fine Art in Gualala, which specialized in the California Regionalists. The gallery also showcased David’s custom furniture. While living in Gualala, David Stary-Sheets was a strong supporter of Gualala Arts, chairing several shows and helping to create the Gualala Arts Center. In 1990, David Stary-Sheets became a full-time art dealer. He and Susan relocated the Stary-Sheets Find Art Gallery to Southern California, first in Irvine, and then in Laguna Beach. He also c-founded the Fine Art Dealers Association, with members nationwide. He served as president for two years. Mr. Stary-Sheets is survived by his wife of 20 years, Susan Stary-Sheets; his son, David Revel Sheets; daughter, Peggy Swegle and son-in law Randy Swegle and their children Caitlyn and Max Swegle; brothers Owen Sheets and his wife Jacqueline Brittain, Tony Sheets and his wife Flower, sister Carolyn Owen-Towle and husband Tom, 22 nieces and nephews, and 12 great-nieces and nephers.

| 363 | David Stary-Sheets; Furniture Designer, Art Dealer David Stary-Sheets, 60, former creator of custom furniture who became an art dealer and expert on the California Regionalist movement. The son of premier Southern California realist painter Millard Sheets, he had operated Stary-Sheets Fine Art Gallery with his wife, Susan, for the last decade. First in Irvine and since 1996 in Laguna Beach, the gallery focused on his custom furniture and on work by the California Regionalist or California Style artists who worked largely in watercolors in the 1920s through ‘40s. Stary-Sheets became a prominent figure in the arts community--lecturing, writing widely and acting as curator for exhibits on the Realist painters. The couple lent paintings from their own collection to boost new museums such as the Irvine Fine Arts Center in 1993 and in 1997-98 were curators of “California Style: 1930s and ‘40s.” That exhibit, organized for the Sebastopol Center for the Arts, was also displayed at the Orange County Museum of Art and the Ventura County Museum of History and Art. Born in Claremont, David Sheets was educated at the Webb School, Claremont Men’s College, Chaffey College and San Diego State. He worked briefly as a loan officer and built custom homes before turning to designing and building furniture. In the 1970s he co-founded a furniture company, Woodworks Builds Dynamite Furniture, based in Ontario, Calif. Sheets hyphenated his surname after marrying Susan Stary in 1980. The couple, who started an art gallery when they lived in Northern California, were active in several arts and cultural groups in Orange County. Among those was Stop-Gap, a theatrical company dealing with social problems. Stary-Sheets was a co-founder of the Fine Art Dealers Assn. and served as president of the national group from 1994 to 1996. On May 31 in Irvine.

| 393 | Della E. Stokes Della Elzora Stokes was born near Missouri Valley, Harrison County, Iowa, April 12, 1880 and died at the University hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Saturday, April 21, at the age of 48 years and 9 days. In February 1897 she moved with her parents to Herman, Nebraska. Here she attended high school and graduated with the class of 1899. The following year she attended the Penn State Norman at Peru, Nebraska, and fitted herself for a teacher, teaching in the schools of Washington County, Nebraska for one year. She was united in marriage to Samuel J. Caskey on August 1, 1901 at Blair, Nebraska. They went to line at Clarinda, Iowa. She was united with the Methodist church wen a girl. While living at Clarinda, she attended the Presbyterian church and was an active worker, teaching a Bible class for a number of years. She moved with her husband to Beaver county, Oklahoma about 25 years later. They moved to Billings, Oklahoma where her husband was engaged in business. While residing in Beaver county she again resumed teaching and taught for seventeen years in that and Noble county, holding the position of eighth grade teacher for a number of terms in the city schools of Billings and Medford. It is said she held one of the highest first grade certificates ever issued to a teacher in Oklahoma. For the past few years she has been a resident of Perry, Oklahoma and was taken from her to the hospital at Oklahoma City on Monday preceding her death, where it was found she was suffering from pernicious Anemia. During those few days at the hospital everything possible was done to improve her condition but with no avail, and on Saturday, April 21 she was relieved from her helpless condition. She is survived by four brothers, C.W. Stokes of Max Bass, North Dakota, L.C. Stokes of Hardy, Saskatchewan, Canada, P.M. Stokes of Ceylon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and J.R. Stokes of Tacoma, Washington; four sisters, Mrs. Dora Hilsinger, Herman, Nebraska, Mrs. Jennie Johnson, Battle View, North Dakota, Mrs. Maude Ballard and Miss Minnie Stokes of Bowbell, North Dakota. Funeral services have not been arranged, waiting the arrival of relatives but it is thought she will be taken back to her girlhood home at Herman, Nebraska and buried beside her father. Her sister, Mrs. Johnson of North Dakota who has been with her the past two weeks was on her way home and failed to receive the message, which accounts for the delay in arrangements. Beside the relatives she leaves a number of friends of Perry and various parts of Oklahoma, who are left to mourn the loss of an honest, generous and true neighbor and friend.
