Husk," b. Nov 15 1883, son of L. W. & Sarah E. Husk. His death record incorrectly states his birth date as Dec 2 1883, born in Blandville (Doddridge Co), son of Leander Wesley [sic] Husk & Sara McClain. BR Bk 1, p. 127. (16) WV State Dept of Health, Div of Vital Statistics, Death Certificate (http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_dcsearch.aspx) Event Notes Note (1) Reports of death date in 1948 are incorrect. Death record and headstone clearly show 1918. Note (2) Age reported at death would put birth at about 1842. But age 36 in 1880 Census puts it at about 1844, and age 25 in 1870 Census puts it at about 1845, while age 29 at time of Sep 1875 marriage puts it at about 1846. www.doddridgecountyroots.com Name Index
