Notes:  Abraham Haley, known as Abe, married Marion Detwiller on 4 Apr 1865 in the Avonbank Presbyterian Church, Downie Twp., Perth, Ontario.  They both were residents of Fullarton Twp.  Their witnesses were John Butter, a neighbor, and Mary Detwiller, Marion's younger sister.  The marriage was by license for $2.00.

Marion and Abe had a total of twelve children.  Nicholas James was born 7 Aug 1865, William Henry was born 24 Jul 1867, and Marion Agnes (Minnie) was born 27 Jul 1869.  All three were probably born in Fullarton Twp.  In late 1870, the family moved to Kansas, settling on a homestead in Logan Township, Ottawa County, eight miles northeast of Minneapolis.  Their first home was a sod dugout, but Abe later built a stone house.

The rest of the children were born in Logan Twp, Ottawa, Kansas.  Mary Rosa (Rose) was born in Jul 1873, Hannah Maria (Hattie) on 15 Feb 1875, Elizabeth Jane on 27 Dec 1877, and Susan May on 13 Dec 1879.  There was also an unnamed child that died.  In the 1880 census, the family consisted of Nicholas, William, Minnie, Rose, Hattie, Elizabeth, and Susan age 5 months.  Susan died later that same year.

John Alexander and Nettie Pauline, twins, were born 12 Dec 1881.  John died 30 Jul 1882.  Hattie had died in Dec 1881.  Ethel G. was born 10 Feb 1884.  Their last son, Abraham Earl was born 13 Feb 1888, but died in November of that same year.

By 1900, Abe and Marion had only two children living at home, Nicholas and Ethel.  Abe and Nicholas were both listed as farmers. Abe owned the farm free of a mortgage.  Marion had had twelve children, but now only seven were still living.  It was about 1909 that Abe and Marion moved into the town of Minneapolis.  Their son William died 15 Aug 1909.  In 1910, they were living on Third Street.  Only Nicholas was living with them.

Abe died 27 Aug 1915, and Nicholas died 6 Dec 1918.  When Marion died 30 Sep 1920, she had five children still living, sixteen grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.  Funeral services for Marion Abe and Marion are buried in the family plot in the Highland Cemetery located about 1/2 mile east of Minneapolis.
