Hi Barbara and all: I've been watching for cousins for sometime....in
scrapbooks, etc. and haven't seen any potential cousins yet. Smith Headley
married Minerva Adele Sturgis thought to be daughter of Almond and Mary E.
Sturgess (Sturgis). They married at Chapinville, Crawford Co. Sept. 22, 1885
and had 4 children. Minerva later changed her name to Adele Minerva and had a
son, Lee, when she married Smith. Smith adopted Lee. Lee later had a son,
Ray, who was married to a Lucille ?. Lee took his own life in Youngstown OH
in 1932. Smith was a gandy dancer for the railroad (which line I do not
know.) The children were Stella b. Sept. 1886 (m. a Stacy and lived in
Ontario Canada, d. 1950), Ralph b. July 1888(m. a Lida ? and took his own life
in Youngstown OH about 1940), Lizzie b. Nov 1890 (Elizabeth m. a Smith and
lived in New York), Florence (married a Conaway) b. 1892 and Arthur Almon b.
May 14, 1896. They made their home in Titusville. Arthur was my father
and married first in PA and had two daughters by first wife?, then traveled to
Missouri and married there in 1931. He had five children by Geneva
Pendleton--AA Jr., Gloria Sue, Ralph Bruce (me), Larry Winslow and Mary Jane.

Smith and Adele divorced in Crawford Co. in 1905. Adele remarried to a Bishop
Hawthorne and Smith died in Trumbull Co. Ohio (his birthplace) October 26,
1928. Smith's parents were Winslow Headley and Elizabeth Smith of Trumbull
Co. Ohio.

I would like to know who Arthur A. married first in Pennsylvania and what his
two children's names were. I would also like to know more about the family or
the siblings and if anyone still lives in Crawford Co. from this family. I
would very much like to exchange correspondence with anyone who can help with
research on this family.
