Identified in obituaries of E. Wilson Osborne and W. Frank Osborne as Mrs. Freda Haught of Akron, a surviving sister. But she was identified in obituary of Frank's sister Rella Osborne Snider as Mrs. Harry (Freda) Haught of Akron, a surviving foster sister, and she was identified in obituary of Annetta "Nettie" Cole Osburn as Mrs. Harry (Freda) Haught of Akron, a surviving foster daughter. It would thus appear that Freda, whose mother died in 1919 when Freda was just 4, was raised in the family of Jacob M. and Annetta "Nettie" Cole Osburn. She was listed in their household as a lodger in the 1920 Census. Relationship between the Davis/Britton and Osborne/Cole families, if any, is not known. Confusingly, the obituary of her foster sister, Mary Osborne Gaston, states that she was predeceased by "three sisters, Rella Snider, Freda Haught and Freda Osborne." No birth record for Freda Davis was found in Doddridge County.

From a newspaper clipping in 1949: "Weather forecasts for the next two days indicate nothing to compare with the terribly cold weather in Clarksburg and its vicinity of about fifty years ago. Marion Husk, Route 3, is our authority for the fact that on February 10, 1899, the bottom practically dropped out of the thermometer to a gruesome forty-two degrees below zero. 'How is this for winter?' Mr. Husk asks in a letter. 'Just fifty years ago tonight, February 10 1899, a schoolmate of mine passed away. A few minutes before he died, he asked me to select his burial outfit. Granting his wish, I chose to walk nine miles to West Union, starting at 7 o'clock. When I left the house, the thermometer reading was thirty-eight degrees below zero, and when I arrived at West Union about the middle of the night, it was forty-two degrees below zero.' Mr. Husk recalls that on that particular errand, he did not stop to rest! He also says that with the help of a friend, he opened a grave for his schoolmate at the Powell graveyard on Buckeye, the mercury at the time sagging to thirty-eight below zero."^{^[522]}

For eleven years, Paul Warren Brown was an inspector for the state of West Virginia, contracting jobs for the Department of Highways. He was Sunday School superintendant at Calvary United Methodist Church for 16 years, and in January 1976 he became lay leader of the church. The author of Christian poems and songs, he had one book published, entitled "From the Master's Hand." One of his poems was translated into seven different languages. His death was the result of drowning. He had entered the West Fork River in Harrison County in a boat, searching for another boat, when his own vessel capsized. He was able to hang on to a tree until a rescue team from the West Milford VFD arrived in another boat. But he lost his footing on the tree when the rescue boat was beside him. He then grabbed for the rescue boat and it flipped over, sending him and the three rescuers into the water. The firefighters were able to make it to safety, but he was not, and his body was not recovered until two months later.⁸¹

Samuel Ross.], resided 1944 in New Milton, Doddridge Co, WV,¹³⁹ census 1900 in Coal District, Harrison Co, WV.

Some researchers have identified George A. Ross (1859-1951), buried at Blandville, Doddridge Co, as the husband of Margaret Lucretia Husk. This is incorrect, as evidenced by courthouse records, by information in "The History of Doddridge County," p. 76, by her headstone identifying her as the wife of J. S. Ross, and by the obituary of James Samuel Ross, son of the George A. Ross in question. Margaret Lucretia Husk's husband was actually this James Samuel Ross. Following Margaret's death, James Samuel Ross married Cansada Skinner, who was previously married to George Riley Ross, who was born ca 1865 in Bath Co, VA and whose relationship to this Ross family is unknown. Doddridge County marriage records also show that the George A. Ross in question, who also was born in Bath Co, VA, married at least twice: First to Emma Elizabeth Putnam (or Putman) in 1881, then to Brida Sutton in 1897, and then to Sarah Melissa Greathouse in 1920.

Her birthdate is stated as Mar 4 1875 in death record and obituary, and that conforms to the 1875 date on her headstone. Age 92 stated in obituary is in error, as it conflicts with the other dates given there. No birth record for her was found in Doddridge County. DR Bk 5, p. 20-A.

(Note: Childbed fever is more properly known as puerperal fever, a bacterial infection contracted by women during childbirth or miscarriage. It can develop into puerperal sepsis, which is a serious form of septicaemia. If untreated, it is often fatal. From the 1600s through the mid to late 1800s, the majority of childbed fever cases were caused by the doctors themselves. With no knowledge of germs, doctors did not believe hand washing was needed. Statements like that of Dr. Charles Meigs, a leading obstetrician and teacher from Philadelphia, were the attitude of the time: "Doctors are gentlemen, and gentlemen’s hands are clean."
