Born 4 October 1862 at Sedgwick, Kansas. Son of John Nelson BADLEY and Mary Ann Margaret WELLS. He married Laura JOHNSON 07 November 1888 at Wichita, Kansas. They were the parents of four (4) known children, only two (2) surviving to adulthood: male BADLEY, name unknown (died young) Alma BADLEY b. Aug 1893, Kansas Bessie BADLEY b. Feb 1896, Kansas ? BADLEY, name unknown (died young) Laura JOHNSON BADLEY is shown in 1915, obtaining a divorce from Minor Arlando BADLEY, in Wichita, Kansas. The children stayed with her. Laura married 2nd Charles Koob, b. July 1870 in Iowa. Minor was last known to be in Roy, Hardin County, New Mexico. He died there: 16 February 1940. He is buried with the correct spelling of BADLEY, however, it is possible that the children's names were spelled BRADLEY, or may have used their mother's maiden name of JOHNSON, or may have used their step-father's name of KOOB. Anyone with any possible information, please post it here or contact me direct.
