DR. JOHN O. HANDLEY

mary,
My great aunt, Avis Geneva Baird, was married at one time to one of the sons of Dr. Handley.Im not really sure of his first name, but will be glad to check into it for you. Im not sure of the duration of the marriage, but it ended in divorce with no children involved.
Avis was the sister of Mary B. Cobb, who was married to Tyrus H. Cobb Sr. Her mother's name was Namer Lee Baird.
I dont know if Dr. Handley's son remarried or not. Avis did not, she is buried in the cemetary in Sycamore along side her mother.
I also know that Dr. Handley delivered most, if not all, of Ty and Mary's children, and throughout my childhood, although most details are sadly forgotten, I heard stories of Dr. Handley, maybe some of my aunts and uncles can recall some of the details.
Good Luck in your search!!
