Co; and Mrs. Annie Lipscomb, age 32, b. (blank), res. Doddridge Co.  Married Apr 24 1918 "at County Farm," officiated by 
Charles P. Reinhard, a Christian Minister. 
(NOTE:  There is no mention of this marriage in husband's obituary.  In the 1920 Census at the Doddridge County 
Infirmary (poor farm), the wife was listed as an "inmate," identified as Anna M. Lipscomb, 33, widowed, along with 
several of her children.  So it seems likely that this couple were soon divorced or the marriage annulled.  She 
remarried in 1921.), MR p. 210 :
