    1. [HADLEY-L] Hadley Underground Railroad Memorial
    2. Connie Barber
    3. Some time ago I stumbled upon a reference to a monument honoring Alfred Hadley's work on the Underground Railroad. This said the monument was in Indiana. Repeated searches did not bring the reference back up. I have now found a photograph and wanted to share the information in case anyone else is interested. It is on the USGenWeb site for Parke County, Indiana under photos. It says, "A memorial to Alfred and Rhoda Hadley and others of Bloomingdale who maintained an Underground Railroad station to assist fugitive slaves to freedom." Alfred Hadley was married to Rhoda Coffin, the sister of Levi Coffin ("President of the Underground Railroad.") He was a first cousin of my ancestor, Elizabeth Hadley. A list of "Known Operators of the Underground Railroad" for Indiana also lists the Brown family and the Clayton family which were related by marriage to the Hadleys. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
