Ah..yes...CardDAV.  On an Android device the entries in the Contact List weren't there.  I tested with pointing the CardDAV account to localhost and restarting with the same results.  I also packet captured with the correct settings and when attempting to delete the entry and getting the error saw no packets exchanged.  I finally just deleted the Address Book and readded it and the entries were gone.  Thank you.
