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 
England.  When the son was 

16 years of age they removed from De Kalb County to Michigan and settled on 60 
acres of land in Ashland 

Township, where they have since resided.

Mr. Headley was the assistant of his father upon the farm until his 
marrriage.  He was married in 

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

(Loomis) Moore.  The parents were natives respectively of Massachusetts and 
New York, removing after their 

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

she was six months old they went to De Kalb Co., Ind., and in 1854 made 
another remove to Muskegon Co., 

Mich.

After his marriage Mr. Headley purchased the family homestead, and continued 
the improvements begun by his 

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

political principle and himself and wife are members of the Christian Church. 
The family includes an 

adopted daughter, Mary E. Childs, born March 25, 1875.  The brother of the 
last mentioned, Julius A. 

Childs, was born Sept. 8, 1868, and has lived with the family since he was 
seven years of age.
