Resident Spotlight
Delbert Blagg
Delbert joined our family at Community Springs in April 2018.
He was born in Cedar County, Missouri, 11 miles from Stockton
and 11 miles from El Dorado Springs. His parents were George
Marion Blagg and Mildred May Blagg. To their union they had six
children and Delbert is third in line.
Delbert attended Johnson School and graduated from
El Dorado Springs High School. After he graduated he went to
work for an electrical contractor from Mississippi building power
lines from Clinton to Osceola when Truman Lake was
beginning to be built.
He later moved to California where his aunt and uncle lived. In
his early 20’s, he was drafted into the Army, and was stationed in
France. While he was in France, he took the stairs all the way up
to the top of the Eiffel Tower. He served the military for two years,
three months and one day, however, his service was
extended for three months and one day.
When his enlistment ended, Delbert married his wife Melanie.
They met at a bank in Benning, California.
She was a school teacher. The couple have
three girls who still live in California. Del-
bert worked as an Electrician/Lineman for 42
yrs. In the late 70s, he went to Saudi Arabia
for four months doing electrical work. While
there, he spear fished and played tag with
sharks. Delbert moved back to Missouri after
his wife died.
At Community Springs, he enjoys
reading and reminiscing with friends.
