HENRY FRANKLIN SHELLEY


b. 07 May 1834, Brothertown, Calumet Co., WI; d. 27 Sep 1902, Unity, Clark Co., WI. We don't know where Henry Shelley is buried. Some of my family members were buried on a private farm cemetery owned by Joe and Dorothy Chapman and although it was written in the original sale papers of the farm that the family burial site not be farmed over, later owners of the land did indeed farm over the land and all records were lost.
