Obituary for Cynthia Blakely (d. 4 Jul 1915)
Mrs. Cynthia Blakely Mallory
Mrs. Cynthia Blakely Mallory died July 4 at the residence of her son, Warren B. Mallory, in Kimball township, at the age of 96, being born in Castleton, Ontario, March 5, 1819. She was united in marriage to Caleb J. Mallory July 4, 184[3], her death occurring on the seventy-first anniversary of her marriage. Her husband died twenty-two years ago. They settled in Kimball township at what was then known as Bartlett’s Mills, about two miles east of Smith’s Creek.
Mrs. Mallory is survived by six children as follows: Digene Mallory, of Campus, Kansas; Warren B. Mallory, of Miles City, Montana **1**; former sheriff of St. Clair county; Mrs. J. D. Palmer, of Thermopolis, Wyoming; Mrs. Richard Hubble, of Smith’s Creek and Mrs. M. V. McFarland, of Omaha, Nebraska; also one sister Mrs. R. S. Little, of Port Huron, who is now eighty-five years of age.
Mrs. Mallory resided in Kimball township sixty-four years. Funeral services will be held from the residence of Warren B. Mallory, on Griswold street Tuesday morning at 10:30 local time. Burial in Mallory cemetery. This cemetery is situated on property formerly belonging to the Mallory family near the old Mallory mills, east of Smith’s Cree, which were built and operated by Caleb J. Mallory in the early lumbering days of Michigan.
So it would appear that Cynthia has a sister:
also one sister Mrs. R. S. Little, of Port Huron, who is now eighty-five years of age [b ~1830] (Obituary of Mrs. Cynthia Mallory, date unknown)
I will also need to check for the censuses for Digene Mallory, of Campus, Kansas; Warren B. Mallory [supposed to be George E.?], of Miles City, Montana; former sheriff of St. Clair county; Mrs. J. D. Palmer, of Thermopolis, Wyoming; Mrs. Richard Hubble, of Smith’s Creek and Mrs. M. V. McFarland, of Omaha, Nebraska, because the 1920 and 1930 censuses provide a lot of information. Not necessarily about grandparents, but it will flesh out the family. Problem is, I can’t seem to find any of them in the 1910 or 1920 (or 1930) censuses.
But to start, I’m looking for her sister, Mrs. R. S. Little of Port Huron.

| Ester Little | 82 |
Doesn’t seem to be a matchup between Mary E Little and Ester Little. Or perhaps she married again. The Esther Little married to Theodore W. Little in 1880 in Chesterfield, was 52 at the time, and Theodore was 53, which eliminates them.
