The following was taken from a letter dated 17 May, 1977, to Marilyn Parker from Olive Sly Huff, daughter of Ernest Sly. "Papa (Ernest) always said that he was 5 years old when his father (Lorn Sly) left for the West and that he really didn't remember him. Papa was born in 1883, so his father would have left Michigan in 1888. Dick Smith was a roomer (boarder) in Elizabeth Sly's home . According to law, if a person disappeared and was not heard from for seven years, they were legally dead. So Dick and Elizabeth probably married in about 1895 in Michigan."
