MRS. MARY J. CILLEY, widow of the late Augustus D. Cilley, 
was born in Northumberland County, Penn. The family were from England 
originally, her grandfather being during his life time an extensive land owner 
and prominent man in that part of Pennsylvania. Her father, James Silverwood, 
came to Michigan in 1845, settling in Wayne County, about eighteen miles from 
Detroit. He was engaged in farming, and also transacted other business. Miss 
Silverwood was married to Mr. Cilley in 1859. At the time of her marriage Mrs. 
C.'s husband was in business in the village of Canton, but left there and went 
to Detroit, and from there he removed to Tuscola County. Since his death Mrs. C. 
has been extensively engaged in business, such as lumbering, farming and stock 
raising, also running a grist-mill- She has had three daughters, but two of whom 
are living, the eldest dying shortly after the removal of the family to Tuscola 
County.
