By comparison, in neighboring Bastrop County, Smithville was a railroad town with a much greater population than Delhi. A marker on Smithville's city hall lawn shows a count
of 18 Smithvillains in the Civil War with fully half of that number coming from only the Sawyer, Burleson and Hill families.
There were 11 Smithville servicemen in WW I with one of them being another Burleson.
WW II had 16 participants and
Korea and Vietnam had three each. This gives totals of Smithville 51 to Delhi's 32.
