Oct 12 1926 in Industrial, dau of Fred Husk (age 40, occupation laborer, resident of Industrial) & Ila Davisson (age 30, resident of Industrial), this being the mother's 5th child, of whom 4 now living. Report of birth filed on Oct 15 1926. The community of Industrial, located on the county line separating Doddridge and Harrison Counties, is sometimes considered to be in Doddridge rather than Harrison as indicated here. BR Bk 13, p. 98. (18) Harrison County Marriage Records, Clarksburg, WV. (19) Harrison County Birth Records, Clarksburg, WV, Identified as Naomi Bernadine Husk, b. (date not specified, but entry is made on page for births occurring in 1928) at Salem WV, dau of Fred Husk, age 31, and Ila Davisson, age 31. Age of mother is consistent with her established birthdate, but stated age of father (who died Jul 17 1927) makes him about nine years younger than is correct. Her marriage record states her birthdate exactly two years earlier, Feb 17 1926, not only at variance with her birth record, but also just eight months before the documented birth of her sister Willena.
