**********************************

Charles Franklin Hadley was the son of Washington and Naomi (Henley) Hadley. He married Arabella Sarah Cronkite on Sept. 15, 1870 in Douglas County, Kansas. After Charles died, Belle married Joseph Hoag Newlin and they moved to California.

According to a 1941 historical newspaper article written in the "Lawrence Journal - World", Charles was walking home at night after the First Kansas Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. 3000 Quakers from Kansas had finished meeting together on Monday night, Oct. 28, 1872, in a large new church built for that very purpose. Workers had dug a deep ditch in which to lay a gas pipe and there were no warning lights.

Grave for Charles Franklin Hadley was located in Lawrence, Douglas, Kansas by Cate Daley.
