I've "rescued" two photographs of Leora BEECHLEY, both taken in Ashland, OH. The first is one of Leora BEECHLEY, Grace ROWLAND, and a "Persian Boy" with a note that it was taken "at Ashland". This photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the three likely in their 20's at the time. I believe that they may have been attending Ashland University. The second photograph is one of Leora BEECHLEY which was taken at the Miller Studio in Ashland, OH. It was also taken in the early 1900's with Leora appearing to be in her 20's at the time, this one also includes the reference "at Ashland". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Leora and her family: Leora L. or S. M. BEECHLEY was b. 28 Feb 1889 in Auburn, IL to parents Levi Michael BEECHLEY (b. 1855 in Dayton, OH-1930) and C. Anna SHOEMAKER (b. 1855 in PA). Leora was one of 5 children born to this couple including, Charles A.; Lillie E.; Clarence; Melvin; and Leora L. M. BEECHLEY, all born between 1877 and 1889. Leora married John HANCOCK (b. Springfield, IL and together they had a son, Euclid Roger HANCOCK b. 19 Dec 1924 in Springfield, IL and died 5 April 1935 in Springfield, IL and buried in Auburn, IL. Leora died 24 May 1933 in Springfield, IL and is buried in Auburn, IL. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Chatham, IL: Levy M.
