In 1870 he was a laborer at Camp Harney, Grant County, Oregon, located in the eastern half of the state.  This military outpost (which would later become Fort Harney and the area would become part of Harney County, Oregon) was counted on one census page with the following divisions: lumber camp, haying camp, garrison, officers' families.  Will was one of the seven men in the haying camp.  (Some web authors have connected the wrong William Huntley (born in Missouri) to John and Louisa.  That William Huntley did happen to be counted immediately following John in 1870, but he was not John and Louisa's son.)

In 1877 Will married Mrs. Mary Jane Malone (nee Siepel), a divorcee with two young sons. Mary Jane had also grown up in Hancock Township.  She was born February 23, 1849, in Shenandoah County, Virginia.  Her parents, Philip Siepel and Eliza A. Fawver, had brought their family to Illinois in the early 1850s.

Will's residence at the time of the marriage was recorded as Ellensburg, Curry County, Oregon.  He and Mary Jane were married in Hancock County on June 14.  Follow the link to Mary Jane to view their wedding portrait and marriage license.

Will and Mary Jane and her boys returned to Oregon.  Will and Mary Jane became parents of a son the following year.

i.	John Stanley Huntley, born February 22, 1878, Oregon.  (Most records support this date of birth.)  He died March 13 or 14, 1948, in Castro Valley, Alameda County, California.  He was cremated and his ashes placed in Chapel of the Chimes, Oakland, California.

At the time of the 1880 Federal Census, Will and his father were mining in Pleasant Hill Precinct, Curry County, while Mary Jane and her three little boys were counted in Rogue River Precinct, Curry County.  Will and Mary Jane divorced sometime between June 1, 1880, and March 23, 1882. Will left Oregon about 1881 and moved to California.

In 1900 Will and his son, John Stanley, were residing in Sanel Township, Mendocino County, California.  Will had given up the rough life of a miner and become a notary public and (if not then, later) a Justice of the Peace.

Will remained in Sanel Township for the rest of his life.  He died September 5, 1925, at Ukiah, also in Mendocino County.  Death Certificate

Judge Wm. Huntley died at the county hospital here Saturday following an illness of long standing. Mr. Huntley resided for many years at Hopland, serving that community as justice of the peace. He was 81 years old and is survived by a son and a daughter.  Judge Huntley was a graduate of Harvard University and well known in Mendocino county.  He was buried in the local cemetery.

We are unable to account for the daughter mentioned in the obituary.
