GEORGE E. STRALEY, . . .
He was born on a farm near Ripley, December 2, 1884. His great-grandfather, Christian Straley, was a native of Germany and founded the family in West Virginia, in Lewis County, where he was a farmer and where he lived out his life. Stephen Straley, his son, was born in Lewis County in 1801, and as a young man moved to Jackson County and founded the Straley homestead a mile and a half north of Ripley, where he continued to live until his death in 1885. He married Mary Alkire, who was born in Lewis County in 1813 and died in 1875. Of their family of three daughters and four sons the only survivor is Charles P. Straley, who still lives at the old homestead north of Ripley, where he was born October 9, 1856. He has been a farmer in that community all his life, and is a democrat and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He married Lucy Ramey, who was born in Jackson County in September, 1856. George E. Straley is the oldest of their children. Paul is unmarried and helps operate the home farm. Mary is a teacher in Marion County and has done advanced work in summer sessions of the State University. Charles V. is a student in the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia.
. . . . In 1910, at Ripley, Mr. Straley married Miss Madaline Taylor, daughter of William and Alice (Riley) Taylor, the latter a resident of Akron, Ohio. Her father died on his farm near Ripley. Mr. and Mrs. Straley have two children, Marguerite, born July 1, 1912, and Robert, born September 1, 1916.
