Married Jan 1 1890. (22) 1860 Census, Doddridge County, (W)VA. (23) Death record of wife, His own obituary incorrectly states his middle name as Irwin. Both his death record and that of his wife show it as Irvin. (24) 1910 Census, Doddridge County, WV (New Milton District) Event Notes Note (1) Birth place given as Akron, Ohio, in daughter's death record, but the 1900 Census shows her birth place as West Virginia. Note (2) in household of daughter Susan (Susie) and son-in-law Irvin I. Prunty Note (3) Age 30 at time of Jan 1890 marriage would put birth in about 1859. But age 7 in the 1860 Census would put it in about 1853, age 58y 8m 25d in death record would put it at Jun 11 1851, and age 47 with a birth date of July 1852 was given in the 1900 Census. The latter appears to be the most accurate. But Ramage's "Doddridge County Cemeteries Vol. I," p. 23, citing her obituary, reports a birth date of Jul 14 1851. Her death date, however, is reported one day later, Mar 9 1910.
