	Wallace and Rose Crandal Molby lived on a homestead about a mile and half from my father's homestead.  You will note that Wallace Molby died quite early.  His widow, Rose, returned to the East and married a man by the name of Blakesley, or Blakeslee.  They lived at Corry, Pennsylvania; she and he parted and she again came to live on the homestead in Kansas, bringing Alba Molby and a daughter, Ada Blakeslee, with her.  They had been there 1891-2, only a year when Alba died, as they said of a brain fever.  Alba died May 31 or June 1, 1892.  His grave is near the graves of his father and of several uncles and aunts.
