I hope this can help. Josephine never had children. She died in 1984 or so in Lansing Michigan. The children listed our her brother Harry Edison Hadley and Ruby Barnett Hadley. Ruby died 1926. Their children were split between the Hadley's and Barnetts. Josephine actually lived with Juanita Hadley until her death. I remember visiting Josephine when I was a kid. She was tough. I am almost 100% sure she never had children. I have a lot of this info on geni.com. Just to give a little info of where I fit in. Ruby and Edison had a son Gail E. That is my GrandFather.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eugene CRAWFORD which was taken at a studio in Galesburg, Michigan. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Eugene likely in his 30's at the time it was taken. The photograph was recovered with others belonging to the HAMILTON Family of Michigan. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Eugene and his family: Eugene CRAWFORD was b. in MI in 1850 or 1851 to parents E. W. CRAWFORD (b. in NY) and Mary A. HAMILTON (b. in MI Territory). I am hoping to locate someone from Eugene's family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
