Clarence O. Haley - Chicago IL

I found couin Clarence O. Haley, son of Andrew Frank and Emma (Leonhard) Haley, in the 1920 census of Chicago, Cook Co., IL. He was living on Clifton Park Ave. in the 12th ward and his occupation was a physician.

He married Julia M. ________ who was born ca. 1889 Illinois and whose mother and father were both from Germany.

Clarence and Julia had a son, William L., who was 1 year 2 months old at the time of the 1920 census.

Benjamin H. Haley Family - Erie Co., OH

Today I've sourced the data for the Benjamin H. Haley family in the 1900-1920 census of Erie Co., OH. Benjamin is my paternal 2nd-great granduncle, and the son of George J. & Rachel (Gary) Haley.

Benjamin H. HALEY b. June 1858 Ohio, d. after 1920 census, m. before 1880 Louisa HUTTENBOCKER. Louisa b. March 1860 Ohio, d. after 1920 census. Benjamin's occupation was listed as either farmer or laborer in a fish house.

I learned of the existence of a grandson, Wellman Pippenger in the 1920 census, and the fact that daughter Eva was divorced, at least by 1920, if not by 1910 census. I need to track down the children in the later census records. The family also apparently bounced back and forth between Ohio and Jay Co., IN - also daughter Bessie shows born in Tennessee.
