Ellen McCrea's 2nd Husband


From a January, 2012, post about Ellen (McCrea) Audley, Ellen McCrea Was Mrs. Beltz Before She Was Mrs. Audley:  I knew her as Ellen (McCrea) Audley.   (Ellen was the daughter of Isabelle CAMERON McCrea).  ...haven't identified the first name of Ellen's second husband, Mr. Audley. I'm hoping the 1940 census will reveal that information next year when it's released.
The 1940 census DID identify the name of Ellen's second husband:
United States Census, 1940
Name: Ellen M Audley
Ward 15, Waukesha City, Waukesha, Wisconsin
Head John B Audley M 77 Wisconsin
Wife Ellen M Audley F 57 Michigan
Servant Marie Kimpel F 63 France

In 1940 Ellen's 2nd husband, John B. Audley, was 77 years old with no occupation.  Ellen, age 57, was a physical therapist in the V.A. Hospital.

According to FindAGrave, John B. Audley died in 1941:

John B Audley
Birth: Jan. 4, 1863
Death: Dec. 3, 1941

Burial: Prairie Home Cemetery
Waukesha, Waukesha County, Wisconsin, USA
Plot: Sec 3, Blk 1, Lot 186, Sp 5

 John B. Audley's 1st wife, Julia (1869-1924), is buried next to him.


Apparently the probate situation of John B. Audley's estate did not go smoothly.

William H. Taft & the Cameron Case

From the Law Bulletin: Cameron Adm'x v. Heister and Heister

Superior Court of Cincinnati, General Term, November 1889

Anna Cameron, Adm'x v. John Heister and Michael Heister

The plaintiff sought to recover damages for the death of her husband, Robert Cameron, at their dwelling at Court and Linn Streets in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Cameron died as a result of injuries he received after being struck by a rocket discharged on the pavement in front of the Heister residence by Michael Heister, a minor.

John Heister (a widower) kept a saloon and residence at the southeast corner of Court and Linn Streets. His family included a daughter, age 15, defendant Michael, age 18, and son William who was employed away from home during the day and helped his father in the saloon at night.



John Heister was dismissed from the action; however the Superior Court ruled that the judgment of non-suit as to John Heister is reversed and cause remanded.

Taft* and Moore, JJ, concur
William H. Pope for Plaintiff
J. J. Glidden and A. C. Grube for Defendants

*William Howard Taft was a Cincinnati Judge before he was President and a Supreme Court Justice

In 1900 John, Michael and Adelaide Heister were living in Bellevue, Campbell Co., Kentucky. John was a saloonkeeper and Michael (who was born in Ohio) was an architect. I believe (although I do not know for sure) that this is the same family involved in the court case.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to further identify the Camerons in the court case.
