  • Name Orval Earl PERINE 
    Born 14 Jun 1890  Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2
    • Age 21 given at time of Oct 1912 marriage would put birth date at about 1891, while age 33 at time of the 1920 Census would put birth date at about 1887, and the date on his headstone is Oct 2 1887. But the 1900 Census gives his birth date as 1890, and his birth record specifies Jun 14 1890. Birth date of 1899 on his death certificate is clearly incorrect. Likewise, the death date of Jun 1 1933 on his headstone is incorrect, based on the May 31 1933 date on his death record. And his headstone is incorrectly engraved with the middle initial "O." His name appears regularly in records as Orval E. Perine, and his birth record show his middle name to be Earl.
