Nationwide Gravesite Locator, U.S. Veterans Gravesites (www.ancestry.com) Event Notes Note (1) Birthplace given in marriage record as Wetzel County. Note (2) Birth date in death record and on headstone is Jan 11 1889. But age 23, 36 and 40 in the 1920, 1930 and 1940 censuses would put her birth in about 1897, 1894 or 1900 respectively. Age given in her marriage record would put it in about 1889. The most reliable record appears to be the 1900 Census, in which she was age 8, with a birth date of Jan 1892. Birthplace given in daughter Ocie's death record as Marion County. Note (3) Birthplace given in marriage record as Pennsylvania. But other records indicate West Virginia. Note (4) Birth date on grave marker is 1917.
