(29) 1940 Census, Doddridge County, WV (New Milton District) Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in death record as Aug 15 1901, but in obituary and in "Doddridge County Cemeteries," Vol. III, as Aug 15 1903. Age 8 in the 1910 Census, age 17 in the 1920 Census, and age 26 in the 1930 Census, and age 38 in the 1940 Census would tend to support the 1903 date. Note (2) Although both his obituary and death record state that he was buried at Oxford Baptist Cemetery, "Doddridge County Cemeteries," Vol III, p. 65, reports that he was buried at the Michael (aka Oxford M.P.) Cemetery. However, the cited basis for that report was not an actual reading, but rather information provided by a particular individual.
