(10) Doddridge County Death Records, West Union, WV, Age 53 given at time of marriage in 1930 would put birth at about 1877, but this is at variance with all other information. Immediate family members have given her birthdate as Mar 4 1874, but this is also apparently incorrect. Her birthdate is stated as Mar 4 1875 in death record and obituary, and that conforms to the 1875 date on her headstone. Age 92 stated in obituary is in error, as it conflicts with the other dates given there. No birth record for her was found in Doddridge County. DR Bk 5, p. 20-A.
