Family of Merrill (Merle) BARKLEY and Lulu Mae BARKLEY

Merrill (Merle) BARKLEY b. 1889 Jun¹¹⁵⁴ at Starkey, New York²²¹. d. 1961 May 21¹¹⁶⁴. bd. Prospect Lawn Cem., Hamburg, New York¹¹⁶⁴.
Lulu Mae BARKLEY b. 1886 Aug 11¹¹⁶⁴ at Illinois¹¹⁷⁴. d. 1956 Jan 29¹¹⁶⁴ at Hamburg, New York. bd. Prospect Lawn Cem., Hamburg, New York¹¹⁶⁴.

Married¹¹⁷⁴ 1920~¹¹⁷⁴.

On his World War One draft registration card, Merle listed his name as "Merrill" but signed the card "Merle." On that draft registration card, he lists his mother as a dependant, and himself as single.

In 1910, Merle is boarding in Cleveland in the household of Claude Knapp and family. Claude is a railroad engineer and Merle is a railroad fireman. By 1918, he is working as a carpenter, a self-employed building constructor.

In 1930, Merle F Barclay is listed with a wife of ten years, Lulu M Barclay, age 42 (born ~1888). The Prospect Lawn Cemetery index¹¹⁶⁴ lists Lulu Mae Barclay, died 29 Jan 1956 at the age of 69y 5m 18d. That implies a birth date of 11 Aug 1886, which is listed herein for want of a better source. I.e., the accuracy of the cemetery index leaves some doubt as it also lists her birth year as 1880.
