HARVEY A. HEADLEY, farmer, section 35, Ashland Township, was born Oct. 6, 
1840, in De Kalb Co., Ind., and 

is a son of John and Celia (Coburn) Headley, both of whom were natives of New

60 acres of land in 

Ashland Township, where they have since resided.

He was married in 

Casanovia Township, Muskegon Co., Mich., Dec. 23, 1863. to Elnora, daughter of

New York, removing after 

their marriage to Ohio and finally settling in Medina County, where the 
daughter was born Sept. 11, 1846.

another move to Muskegon 

Co., Mich.

the improvements begun by 

his father, adding considerably to the cleared acreage, and has erected good 
buildings.  He is a
