George W. and Anna (Rodabough) Wiley

George Wiley and Anna Rodabough were married February 19, 1890, at Logansport, Indiana. They lived in Indiana until 1899, when they came first to Melville and to Carrington.

Mr. Wiley worked at the carpenter trade, and at the Putnam Lumber Yard. He also served as county surveyor for a few years.

Ws. Wiley is best remembered for her variety store which she opened in 1912 and operated until 1931. Children growing up in Carrington and vicinity between 1912 and 1931 can fondly remember going to Mrs. Wiley's for candy, marbles, school supplies and hair ribbons; and homemade ice cream in the summer.

The Wileys had one son: Ortho.

The Wileys are no longer living.
