My grandmother was given up for adoption probably around 1917 or 1918. She lived in
Lawrence Co. In. with her parents in 1910. Her biological parents names were George Willis
Dalton b. in Indiana and Martha Elizabeth Armstrong not sure of her place of birth. My
grandmother was residing with Catherine Haley in 1918. I was able to retreave a picture of
her from Marvin at the Starke County Historical society of her with the entire 8th grade
graduating class of all the children in Starke Co. and the 8th grade program with my
grandmothers name in it. I thought maybe that someone here who may be related to the Haley
family might know something about my grandmother or even have pictures of her with
Catherine on the farm. When my grandmother married my grandfather and moved to Dayton,
Ohio. She gave birth to 6 children and in 1934 she died of kidney failure. My grandfather
didn't keep in touch with Miss Haley after my grandmothers passing. I have a picture
of Miss Haley's grave and !
her parents and brother Michaels graves in Plymouth, Indiana if anyone is interested..

The attachments that I included are of 8th grade graduating class and then a close up of
my grandmother in that picture and the program of all the names of children of all the
townships in starke county. My grandmother is listed in Oregon Twp, and I was told by
Marvin that Evelyn Godfrey was Catherines neice. Catherines obit and a picture of my
grandmother as a grown woman standing in the middle and the child she has her hand on is
her first born my Aunt Juanita.
