First wife Louisa Ledbetter, second wife Sallie Bowles and third wife, Rosie "Rosa" Stout.
Chesley and Louisa had a daughter named Susan. We can't find anything about her and she only shows up on one census so we assume she died young.
His other son James A and his wife Cora V Holt Adams are buried in Salem Cemetery also.
The man standing beside his tombstone is his great great grandson Van Adams. On his death certificate it says he was born around 1866 which would make more sense because supposedly his parents got married in 1866. But I also have dates of 1853 and of course his tombstone says 1858. Does that mean Jennie Cook was not his mother and James had been married more than once?
