Event Notes Note (1) In 1900, listed as a servant in the household of the widowed Alvin Daubenspeck, b. Apr 1859 in Pennsylvania, an oil lease foreman. Listed in the household as a boarder was Fred Brown, b. Mar 1879, an oil roustabout. Note (2) Undated obituary clipping states that he was born on Dec 16 1892 and that he died at age 60 on Thursday, May 15th, year not specified. Based on the age, the year of death would be 1953 since he had not yet reached his 61st birthday, but May 15th fell on a Friday that year. May 15th fell on a Thursday in 1952. Note (3) Husband's obituary states marriage date as 1916. Note (4) Birth reported on WW I draft registration as Jan 9 1895 at Camp, Doddridge County, and date in his WW II draft registration and on his headstone is also Jan 9 1895. But the WV Birth Index shows it as Jan 9 1894 at Cabin Run, Doddridge County, and the 1900 Census also indicates a birth date of Jan 1894.Name Index
