Death of Jane E. Hartley

Jane "Jennie" (Denby) Hartley is likely the dark haired woman on the far left in the back, standing next to husband George Henry Hartley and his family.  I have to get a better quality image of this photo from my Hartley cousin Sarah who sent me this rare glimpse of Jennie.  Jennie died soon after her son, James Denby Hartley (later the Hartley patriarch), was born.

Before my great grandfather George Henry Hartley married my great grandmother Minnie Nosler, he was married to Jane "Jennie" Denby (born in 1879 in Tunbridge, Kent, England).
