(14) Harrison County Marriage Records, Clarksburg, WV. (15) Obituary - At home. (16) Doddridge County Death Records, West Union, WV, There are two entries for this death, on consecutive lines in the handwritten ledger: (1) Myrle Boyce, white female, married, died Nov 13 1914, age 34, cause of death female trouble; informant Francis Douglass, undertaker. (2) Myrtle Boyce, white female, married, occupation housewife, died Nov 13 1914, age 38y 5m 5d, cause of death louck (?) of bowels; informant H. Orrahood, M.D. In either case, the age must be considered incorrect, based on her age 6 in the 1880 Census and birth date Jun 1873 in the 1900 Census. Age 26 at her Feb 1901 marriage is also more in alignment with her census age. DR p. 7. (17) Polly Walker Kreaps, Walker WV 26180,
