Cordelia Ann Bay
Cordelia Ann Bay (maiden name: Shell) was born on February 1, 1838, in Knox County, Ohio, to John and Nancy Shell. Her father was a farmer who owned $1,800 of real estate by 1850. She grew up and attended school in Canaan, Ohio. She married Hugh Bay on August 28, 1856, and they had three children: Nancy, born on July 16, 1858; Sarah, born on July 18, 1860; and Mary, born on May 1, 1862. They lived in St. Marys Township, Indiana, and her husband worked as a farmer. By 1860, they owned $150 of personal property.
 
Her husband served in the Union army, and he died on December 16, 1864. She applied for a federal pension in January 1865 and eventually received one. She remained in St. Marys with her daughters, and by 1870, she owned $25 of personal property. By 1900, she was helping care for two of her grandchildren. By 1920, she was living in her daughter Mary’s household in Willshire, Ohio. She died of a “uremic coma” in St. Marys on March 28, 1920.
