Nationwide Gravesite Locator, U.S. Veterans Gravesites (www.ancestry.com) Event Notes Note (1) There are two conficting records of this birth, both of them delayed entries filed by her brother Milburn. The filing on Jun 29 1951 states that she was born to Mack Bircher and Martha Jenkins at Central Station on Jun 6 1896. This is the same birth date that she gave at the time of her marriage, and which is given in the 1900 Census. But another delayed entry was filed on Oct 1 1956, stating that she was born in Doddridge County on Jun 6 1895, which is the date given in the Social Security Death Index. In both cases, she was the 6th child born to her mother. It is noted that the June 1895 date would conflict with the January 1895 birth date of her sister, if that date itself is accurate. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2625307&Type=Birth http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2625044&Type=Birth Note (2) Marriage date given in wife's obituary and on headstone as Aug 3 1946, but marriage record shows it as Aug 4 1946.
