Exploratory Data Analysis : Cora Belle (Metzner) Haley (1868-1955)





Cora Belle (Metzner) Haley was my paternal great-grandmother.  What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical facts I have discovered about her.


1. Vital records


     1.1. Birth certificate


          Cora was born August 21, 1868 in Jay County, Indiana1. The State of Indiana didn't require statewide registrations of births until after 1907.  Prior to this date, they were only recorded in the counties where the event occurred.  The W.P.A. indexed births in Indiana after 1882.


          1.1.1. Birth notice in newspaper


          If Cora's birth was recorded in a local newspaper, it has been lost to history.  The Jay County Public Library has newspapers from the late 1880s, and the holdings of the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis do not indicate any newspapers of the period.


          1.1.2. Bible record


          I am not aware of any surviving Bible records of the Metzner family.


          1.1.3. Baptismal record


          The Metzner's were members of the Evangelical Assocation, but I do not know of any baptismal records.  


          1.1.4. Adoption record


          There is no indication that Cora was adopted.


     1.2. Marriage license


          Cora was married on July 21, 1888 in Jay County, Indiana to Eli Weldon Haley2.


          1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper


               I have not searched in newspapers of Jay County, Indiana to see if mention was made of Cora and Eli's nuptials.  Have added this to my "to-do" list for my next research trip.


          1.2.2. Anniversary notice


               Though I have copies of anniversary notices from the newspapers, they are not sourced, and I need to add that to my "to-do" list.  Need to determine if the notices come from the Portland Commercial-Review or the Graphic.


          1.2.3. Divorce decree


               There is no indication that a divorce ever occurred, and a recent search of court records during the time period did not turn up a divorce.


     1.3. Death certificate


          Cora died April 28, 1955 in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana1.  I need to obtain a copy of her official death certificate from the Jay County Health Department.  According to her obituary, she died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clarence (Vera) Stuber.


          1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper


               Cora's obituary appeared in the April 29, 1955 edition of the Portland Commercial-Review3.


          1.3.2. Funeral home record


               The funeral home record was the subject of a previous post.  Cora died at 6:40 p.m. and was 86 years of age.  She was buried in the Mt. Zion cemetery and her casket was manufactured by Hutton.


          1.3.3. Tombstone photograph


               Cora's tombstone in the Mt. Zion cemetery has been photographed.  It lists her as Cora B. 1868-1957, and her husband, Eli W. 1866-1957, is also listed4.


2. Census records


     2.1. Federal Census Records


          2.1.1. 1930 Federal Census


               On April 11, 1930, Cora was enumerated in the Eli W. Haley household in Noble Township, Jay County, Indiana5 as Cora B. Haley, wife, age 62, born in Indiana.  She was aged 19 at her marriage and could read and write.  Both her parents were born in Ohio.  She could speak English and listed no occupation.


          2.1.2. 1920 Federal Census


               On January 2, 1920, Cora was enumerated in the Eli W. Haley household in Noble Township, Jay County, Indiana6 as Cora B. Haley, wife, age 51, born in Indiana.  Both her parents were born in Ohio.  She could read and write and speak English.


          2.1.3. 1910 Federal Census


               On April 16, 1910, Cora was enumerated in the Eli W. Haley household in Noble Township, Jay County, Indiana7 as Cora B.

          2.1.4. 1900 Federal Census


               On June 16, 1900, Cora was enumerated in the Eli W. Haley household in Noble Township, Jay County, Indiana8 as Cora B. Haley, wife, age 30, born August 1869 in Indiana.  She had been married for 11 years and was the mother of 3 children, 2 of whom were living.  Both her parents were born in Ohio.  She could read and write and speak English.


          2.1.5. 1880 Federal Census


               One June 23, 1880, Cora was enumerated in the John A. Metzner household in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana9 as Cora B. Metzner, age 11, single, born in Indiana.  She had attended school within the year.  Her parents were both born in Ohio.


          2.1.6. 1870 Federal Census


               On July 4, 1870, Cora was enumerated in the John A. Metzner household in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana10 as Cora Metzner, age 1, born in Indiana.


     2.2. State Census Records


          The State of Indiana conducted state census in 1853, 1857, 1871, 1877, 1883, 1889, 1901, 1913, 1919 and 1931.  These however, were merely for the purposes of determining legislative apportionment.


     2.3. Agricultural Census Records


          I have not yet investigated these types of census records to see what information might be shed on the Haley farm.


3. Military Records


     3.1. Draft Registration


          Being female, these types of records do not apply.


     3.2. Pension Records


          There is no indication that her husband ever served in the military.  However, her father did serve in the Civil War, and there may be mention of her in his pension application.


     3.3. Service Records


          Not applicable.


4. Land Records


     4.1. Deed Records


          Deed records need to be searched more thoroughly in Jay County, Indiana.  The family lived most of their lives in Noble Township, though did live in Madison Township for awhile.


     4.2. Plat map / county map


          Jay County published a plat map in 1874, 1881, 1887, 1901, 1910 and 1920 that may be relevant to my search for Cora.  


5. Supplemental records


          Supplemental records available to research for Cora include county/city directories, court records and will and probate records.  Searching these will be on my next "to-do" list research trip to Jay County.

Wordless Wednesday : Piper & Grandpa

Piper and Grandpa, Evansville, Indiana 18 Feb 2012


Being a grandpa changes everything.  Piper reminds me so much of her mother when she was a baby.  I can't wait to see her again!  


I hope I'm around to teach her things and tell her about her heritage. Maybe one day she will read this blog.  My own grandfathers were gone when I was young, so young that I don't really remember them.

Wehrly Family, Portland, Indiana (1907)

Source: Complete Directory of Jay County, M & M Directory Co., Portland, Ind., 1907, p. 99


These listings of the WEHRLY family in Portland, Jay County, Indiana in 1907 are for my paternal relatives.


Charles WEHRLY with wife Rose is unidentified as a family member.  He was a laborer for the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad.


John William WEHRLY (1870-1954) with wife Esther L. WHITE was my paternal great-granduncle, and brother of my great grandmother, Barbara Isabel.  John was a jeweler.


John P. WEHRLY (1838-1910) with wife Katharine was my 2x great-granduncle. I usually have his wife's name spelled as Catherine with a "C".  She was a LEMASTERS, so I am related to both he and his wife.  He is shown as a laborer living at rural route 10 Portland.  In the 1900 census they were living in Madison Township, Jay County.


Lon WEHRLY (1880-1960) was the son of John P. above, his full name was Alonzo John Wehrly.  Interesting that his occupation was listed as salesman.  Later in life he would become sheriff of Jay County.  I do not know yet the maiden name of his wife, Bertha.

Sunday Supper: Memories of Simple Suppers

Mom emailed the following memory of her family's Sunday supper routine:


After watching a commercial for Campbell soup, I was reminded of the Sunday night suppers my mom made using Campbell's soup.   Growing up in the late 40's and 50's as a child,I recall that families usually spent their Sundays going to Sunday school, church and coming home for a Sunday dinner.  A favorite dinner was greasy pan fried chicken  and gravy with mashed potatoes.   Some families used Sunday as a day to visit with relatives.   Stores were not opened, farmers didn't work in the fields, and so Sunday was a day of relaxation.   Sunday night suppers were usually simple since we had had a big meal at noon.   Mom would heat up a can of Campbells' Cream of Chicken soup and add chopped boiled eggs.  She would pour this combination over toast.   Since tomato soup was a favorite of hers, she would serve us Campbell's tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwiches.    I can also remember that if we didn't have canned soup, she would take toast and break it into pieces and put the pieces into a glass.   Hot milk was poured over the toast and salt and pepper was added.
