- From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of August 15th, 2007
I attempted to find Glenn C. Nelson I181562. After having no luck with him, I started to make some educated guesses and there is no doubt in my mind that Glenn C. Nelson, I181562, is in fact Glenn C. Hawley, the product of Aurilla's other husband. The problem is that I first found him at the age of 8 residing with relatives. Aurilla was not to be found and I have a feeling that perhaps she had died or disappeared by 1900. The stone for Glenn C. I181562 is adjacent to his mother's stone and reads: Glenn C. 1892 – 1937 Sgt. Co. E 7th Supply Train Motor.
It is worth noting that the Sprague family stone for Sabra S. H., Martha L., and J. Oliver Sprague has only the word SPRAGUE on the face of the family stone and the headstones actually contain the names and dates of these individuals. On the back side of this same Sprague family stone is inscribed the words HAWLEY and NELSON and in the ground on that side of the stone is where Aurilla and Glenn C. have their headstones containing their names and dates. This is obviously the source for the Beaverkill Valley book that Aurilla married both a Hawley and a Nelson. I think they just picked the wrong spouse for Glenn C.
So here is why I believe Glenn C. I181562 was a Hawley and not a Nelson:
1900 Census Town of Hancock, Delaware County, New York, USA.
Date of Census: June 27, 1900. Dwelling 417 – Family 468.
Residing in the residence of Eugene Howard, 40, and his wife Mary Howard, 34, is:
Hawley, Glenn, Nephew, M, W, Feb. 1892, 8, Single, PA, NY, NY.
Glenn was not living with this family in 1910 and in fact I could not find him any place in 1910 or 1920.
1930 Census Fort Davis, Cristobal District, Panama Canal Zone.
Date of Census: April 9, 1930. 79th Brigade. Dwelling 5, Family 5.
Hawley, Glenn C., Soldier, M, W, 38, Divorced, PA, NY, NY, Soldier Motor Transport.
Note: This is obviously a military barracks as a great number of soldiers are residing here. [2]
