I believe that this is the right Sylvester B. Cooley, as a widower, except
John W is not listed. :

Is this John W Cooley? I haven't yet found a connection to this family but
could there be a connection to Partlow :

I found a family tree where Sylvester's first wife, Lucinda Ellen Partlow,
died 29 Jun 1870, Terre Haute, Vigo Co., IN & is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery
in Terre Haute, IN. She is not listed on Find A Grave, though there are
other Cooley graves there.
