Roy family of Wilsey Kansas

Roy homestead in Kansas

William Henry Roy was born on Jan 26, 1858 in Lagrange County, Indiana.
His parents were James Roy and Mary Ann McKinney.
He had 3 half-siblings and 3 full siblings. His father had married before, but I'll get to that later.

William married Eva May Lloyd on March 3, 1880 in Jesup, Iowa.
He had lived in Indiana, Iowa and finally settled in Kansas. That is where he raised a family.
William and Eva had 5 children and adopted 1. I will be forever grateful that they adopted that one. That one child was my great grandmother, who would have surely died had they not taken her.

To William and Eva the following children were born:
Wilfred (or Fred) James
Jessie Irene
Ethel Reba
Frank Lloyd
Veldeva Grace
and the adopted child was Flossie

Flossie was adopted by Eva when her own baby died.
Ethel Reba Roy was born on 17 Jun, 1890 in Wilsey Kansas and died 6 Feb, 1893.

Ethel's headstone
taken in 1893

 Ethel is buried in the Wilsey Cemetery.
On Jun 30th, 1894, Eva was given an 8 month old, 13 pound baby. Flossie. She was malnourished and sickly.

From Eva's own journal. The arrival of Flossie.
