MRS. B. HANDLEY. Tiro; was born in Stark Co., Ohio. April 5, 1835. She is a daughter of Frederick and Mary
(Mundz) Staley. Her father was born in Germany, December, 1800, and her mother, in January 1797. They were
married in the United States, and came to Cranberry Township in 1841. They were the parents of six children -
Ann U., Christina C., Barbara S., Anna C., Frederick and Elizabeth. Ann, Christina and Anna are dead. Mrs.
Handley's parents were farmers, and she was reared and educated in the county. On the 6th of December, 1856,
she was united in marriage with John Handley, son of William and Jane (McDermott) Handley, who came to
Sandusky Township in 1822. To this union were born three children - Emma E., born Oct. 10, 1857: Cassius H.,
born July 8, 1860: Jessie A., born Sep. 3, 1863. Emma died Feb. 9, 1875,. Cassius and Jessie are single and live
with their mother in Auburn Township. Mr. Handley died in Cranberry Township Jan. 16, 1865. He was a man of
good education, and of moral and upright character.

The following is a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Sandusky Literary Association on the death of Mr.
Handley:
"Resolved That in the death of Mr. Handley, this society has lost an exemplary and influential member. As a
member he was amiable, kind and courteous: he was a moat humorist and a keen satirist: as a debater he,
excelled: as a citizen he, ardently loved his country: he expended liberally in the suppression of the recent
rebellion: he was the soldier's fast friend. As an individual, he was honest and obliging: he was an affectionate
husband and a kind father."
In addition to the above, we could add that Mr. Handley was a man beloved by all who knew him, and no name
could be better spoken of than that of John Handley. His family live in the little village of Mechanicsburg, where
they are well known and highly respected by all who know them
