Riley loved his big family and was quite proud of them.
On May 14, 1872, Riley's 21st birthday, his parents conveyed 60 acres of
land to him in Sec. 31 for one dollar and their love for him. His occupation
was farming.

Riley is buried in Read Cemetery next to his two wives Mary Ellen and
Nannie.(Source: Deb Dennis)
