Feb 3 1900 in Doddridge Co, dau of Marion & Ella (Adams) Gaston, this being the mother's second child. The original typed entry in the ledger-type birth record had the child's first name as Caddie (or Gaddie), and the father's first name as Martin, but those were lined out and changed by hand to read as above.

Event Notes Note (1) Obituary of Luella Adams Gaston states that she died at her home in Oxford after an illness of 18 months. No death record found for her in Doddridge County, but Lewis County death records (DR 7-132) show that her death occurred in Lewis County, so obituary was in error. www.doddridgecountyroots.com Name Index
