Can anyone help me find info on Nancy Ellen Haley Canfield?

Question

Hello!  I am trying to locate information on Nancy Ellen Haley Canfield.  I discovered profiles of her siblings that cited a publication called The Canfield Family Association  [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/150915632?memorialUpdated=Yes], but I can only find this publication available through the Hathi Trust, with limited access to guests.  Does anyone have access to the Hathi Trust or other information?  

Confirmed info: married to Amos Canfield in Linn Co, MO in 1880

Unconfirmed info: born January 13, 1850, buried in Meadville. MO

Unknown: birth location, death date/location and parent names.

Comments

Thank you, Pat!  I found two other Nancy E Haleys in Missouri in 1860, but the information on those censuses did not match as closely as the one you have found.

Actually, I was able to find some information I had previously overlooked in the 1900 Census.  Here is a clip from what I wrote on Nancy's page:

"There have been four Nancy Haleys found in the 1860 and 1870 Missouri censuses. The 1900 census^[3]gives us a few facts that connect us to the daughter of James and Judy. First, she is located in the same county she would be married and buried in. Second, her parents (at least one of them) should have been from Kentucky. Third, she was born about 1857. Lastly, she was illiterate as an adult, which would likely mean that her parents and siblings would have also been unable to read and write."
