Wife: Mary Rightley∼THERE USED TO BE TWO DIFFERENT MEMORIALS FOR THIS MAN WITH TWO DIFFERENT SPELLINGS OF REICHLEY & RIGHTLEY, BUT FINDAGRAVE ADMIN COMBINED THEM INTO JUST THIS ONE, WHICH IS pseudo-CORRECT...SEE SPELLING OF PARENTS, OLDER CHILDREN, SIBLINGS.
killed in mining accident
There is no marker for the name Reichley, but is surely the same person as Alva Edward who has a New Mexico family purposely not connected (by me) at this time until relationships can be positively determined. How lovely it would be to scarf up some matching pictures!
Since Alva Edward Reichley disappeared from Ohio in 1915, I'm making this memorial to connect him back to his mother and siblings who could never determine what happened to him.
His Ohio wife, Mary, consulted three fortune tellers to try to find him. They all replied Alva was "in the water" so they thought he had drowned. Mary filed for divorce in 1917, but I cannot determine if it was granted as her death certificate says she was a widow. Perhaps both, which would not be the strangest family conundrum I've ever seen!
