He was m to HELEN IMOGENE BLACKMAR , 31 Oct 1862, at Springville, Erie Co., NY. Children: Kenneth, Trevanion, Bertha, Clifford, Rose. HELEN MERRIFIELD d. 21 Feb. 1917, at Hotchkiss, CO. She was a member of the Methodist Church at Hotchkiss and is also buried at The City of The Dead Cem. The WILLIAM DANFORD LEGGE(E) family spent time in Hotchkiss as well.
