Whitely, Mary

Miss Mary Whitely was Mrs. Mary Cleaver, the first wife of William Cleaver.

They had three children: son, William Henry, who resided in Terra Haute, Indiana; daughter, Jane Josephine, the widow of Thomas Swann, of Chicago; and son Francis Charles Cleaver, who was the superintendent of motive power of the Vandalia Railway at Princeton, Indiana. In his later years, William delighted his children with tales that he told about the perils and trials through which he had passed.
