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.

Additional information about Jim Dellas

Dimitrios Angelakis, listed as Jim Dallas on the Castle Gate list, was my grandfather. His oldest son George Dellas (1919-2000) was my father. I was born in the USA with the name Katherine Dellas but I now live in Greece and when I got my Greek identity papers they used the name Angelakis-Dellas, which was how my father was listed in the village register.

My grandmother's name Calliope, should be spelled with two "Ls", as it is spelled both in Greek and in English. My older sister is named Calliope after our grandmother.

The official transliteration of Angelakis to English must be spelled Angelakis, based on the rules the Greek government uses for transliterating Greek names to English on Greek passports (the double gamma in Greek in pronounced "ng").

"The Dellas name was the nickname of his father and him, known as "Ntelis" in Crete. This is a Cretan dialect word of Turkish origin, which means a tough, brave, strong man. Another Angelakis got his mail, so Dimitris, known as Jim in English, started using his nickname and actually spelled it Delis at first."

Calliope's last name became Angelakis when she married, but because the children were born in the USA, their birth certificates had the last name Dellas. I have her Greek passport with which she returned to Crete with the name Angelakis. She did not use the name Dellas but her children did. After the death of her husband in the Castle Gate mine explosion his widow Calliope took her three orphaned children and returned to Crete in 1927."

Additional information about Jim Dellas received from Katherine Dellas

Michael Camperides

Michael Camperides died in the Castle Gate coal mine explosion. He was survived by his wife, Koula, and his three children, Michael, Evanthea, and Katerina. They returned to their hometown of Hania, Crete, Greece after the disaster for many years. Koula Camperides and her brother Michael eventually made it back to USA and settled in New York City. Koula passed away in a gas explosion in 1980 and her brother passed away a few years back of natural causes. Their sister Evanthea still lives in Hania, Crete.

Information about Michael Camperides received from Manny Korkodilos

Josiah Steward

The name of Josiah Steward appears on the Castle Gate LDS church records with the notation "died in mine explosion 8 Mar 1924". His name does not appear on other lists of those who died in the explosion.

Tony Pirpinis (Pirpinakis)

Tony Pirpinis (Pirpinakis) in Utah was engaged to be married. Unfortunately for him his fiancee found another man more prosperous and she returned all the jewelry he had given her. He was so broken up he took it and threw it into the firplace, pulled out his six shooter and shot into the burning jewelry and broke down sobbing. On March 8, 1924 he was one of 185 casualties of the Castle Gate, Utah mine disaster. Fate was cruel. he was from Vafe and came on the same ship with John Paitakis. They had worked together. copied from "The Paitakis Family Genealogy" written by Stephen J. Paitakis in possession of the Carbon County Historical Society page 11-12.
