may have two different Hallerts, .holleys need to check further as birth dates do not match.

The last note that I sent had a wrong date about Halley's death date, he died on the 26 of Aug. 1925 in Kalamazoo City, Mi. He is buried in the Westside Lake City Cemetary. Eunice O. Morford married Halley on the 23 of Dec. 1876 in Reeder Twp. Missaukee County,Mi. They had three sons Harvey A. Corwin born ?, died on the 22 of feb. 1900(21yrs.-5mons-27days) in Forest Twp. Missaukee County,Mi. Never Married. Warner W. Corwin born on the 11 of Apr? 1880 or 1881, died on the 19 of July 1946 buried in the Westside Lake City Cemetary. Married to Lulu ?? then divorced(all in the Missaukee County). Ervey L. Corwin (my great grandfather)born on the 11 of Feb. 1882 in Forest Twp. Missaukee County. Died on the 31 of Jan. 1960 in Lake City, Mi. Married in Aug. 1906 to Laura Ellen Foss. Eunice and Halley divorced on the 23 of Aug. 1892(affadavit filed) in Missaukee County. 2nd wife,Della P. Allen-born in 1858 in Indiana married Halley on the 15 of June 1893 in Missaukee County. No children. Divorced on the 24 of Jan 1894(decree entered) in Missaukee County. Died don't know. 3rd wife-Emma Filson-born 1875, married Halley on the 9 of Feb 1894 in Missaukee County. She had one baby-a little girl named LenaBell Corwin on the 19 of Oct. 1894 in Forest Twp. I think that this baby died after they divorced. I found in Allegan County, Mi. that a Belle Corwin died on the 10 of Feb. 1897(2yrs-2mons-10days),which sort of fits but the father is listed as a Eugene Corwin and the mother as Emma. Emma and Halley divorced on the 21 of June 1895 in Missaukee County.
I'm still looking for more information on any of them. I'm tring to find where the Corwin name is from. Thank-you Wendy Corwin


Eunice Orilla Morford

Eunice did in fact marry both Halley and Frank who were cousins. It looks like Halley had several wife.
Eunice married Halley first and had 2 children with him (Harvey and Warner) and then had two more with Frank (Ruby and Rufus).
