James Grier Cleveland married a 2nd time a Hannah Maria Risbridger in Battle Creek 07 Jan 1882. They relocated to Madison, Madison, NE where they had a daughter, Verbia Imo and 2 other children that died as babies. In James obit in 1917 it says that only two children from both marriages was still alive. Zella who was adopted and Verbia. If that is correct than Charles Asa died before 1917?

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lyman COOLEY which was taken at the Markham Studio in Michigan. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Lyman likely in his 30's or 40's at the time it was taken. There is no location indicated on the photograph, however, because another photograph indicates that it was taken at the Elmer COOLEY house in Bellevue, Michigan, I'm guessing that this photograph originated from the same location. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Lyman and his family: Lyman F. COOLEY was b. Apr 1857 in MI to parents Levi COOLEY (b. 9 Jul 1825 in Genesee, NY) and Jane E. VAN OCKER (b. 19 Sept 1837 in MI).
