| 43606 | While Ephraim W. Bee was away fighting in the Civil War, his wife "Ingaby was at their Roane County home taking care of the farm and the children. One cold February morning, the feared Jones Raiders (Confederate Army Troops detached to destroy railroad bridges, cut telegraph lines, and gather livestock and supplies for the Confederate Army) swooped upon the farm. The Raiders gleaned the farm of all blankets, food and livestock, with the exception of one sick old horse. As the bed covering was ripped from the bed, baby McClellan was thrown across the room and crippled for life. Ingaby knew she was left with no means to survive the harsh winter and bravely wrapped her children in what rags were left, put them on the old nag, and walked from Roane County to Doddridge County, where her husband's family lived."

| 43608 | While growing up in Clarksburg and Maple Lake, he was active in swimming and diving events. He was the last surviving member of the Maple Lake Aquacade of 1941. A great supporter of the youth of Clarksburg, he was a charter member of the Stealey Recreational Center, where he and others built and grew the membership. BG was the organizer and also coach (along with his friend John Routa) of the Stealey Swim Team. As the area swim teams started to develop, Mr. Gaston and the Board of Directors of Stealey Pool initiated the first annual Stealey Invitational Swim Meet, which is still going strong 50 years later. He also started, along with Katherine Williams, the Tri-County Swimming Association, which consisted of Harrison, Upshur and Marion counties. He will be remembered by the youth of Harrison County as the first "starter" at the swim meets dressed in white. Bill also coached youth church league basketball teams and also coached the Washington Irving Varsity Cheerleaders in gymnastic skills. Many of the youth from Stealey Pool will remember his diving exhibitions with John Routa and his brother, Jim Gaston. He was an excellent diver, gymnast and athlete. In 1969, Mr. Gaston was awarded the Clarksburg Jaycees Physical Fitness Leader of the Year. He went on to be the West Virginia Physical Fitness Leader and was one of 12 National Physical Fitness Leaders. He won a trip to Washington, D.C. to receive his award; his guide for the week was astronaut James Lovell of Apollo 13. He received many awards, but to him, the highest honor was a private meeting with President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson. | GASTON, Albert William "B.G." (I40599)

| 43609 | While her headstone shows a birth date of Apr 9 1828, researcher Don Norman states her birth as 1816, and grandson John Washington Hart, in a family information survey completed in 1931, reports it as Apr 9 1814. But those two dates are considered unlikely given the birth of her last child in 1871. | NUTTER, Melinda Ann (I309)
|
| 43610 | While his obituary and SSDI entry state that he was born Feb 23 1907 in West Union (Doddridge County), the record of his marriage to Goldie Ross in 1956 states his birth as Feb 22 1908 in Tyler County, WV. | UNDERWOOD, Artsel Merriwell "Abe" (I16938)

| 43618 | While working at the Whitehall Hotel in Harrisville as a young woman, Avalene was well known for her baking skills. As described by her stepmother, Edna Carpenter Reeves in Goldenseal Magazine, Winter 1999: "Avalene always was so great to bake, and she baked the best butterscotch pies. She was making the filling for these butterscotch pies in a great big skillet, and she reached around to get her vanilla, and she poured in how much vanilla she wanted in her butterscotch pie. But somebody had set a bottle of shampoo there, and she put shampoo in. It just started raising up. That stuff foamed all over that hot plate, all over the floor. It was boiling butterscotch and that shampoo in it. You never seen such a mess in all your life." | REEVES, Avalene Gwendolyn (I38039)

| 43622 | Widely reported in online genealogies is the family tradition that George Madison Lattea was stabbed to death in or near Marietta, Ohio on either 3 October 1892 or 9 March 1892, and that he was buried in an unmarked grave in Walnut Fork (formerly Bethel) Cemetery, near Vadis, Lewis Co, WV. But thorough research by more recent family historians has found no evidence to support that account, other than accepting the 1892 death year, since census records do reflect that he died between 1880 and 1900. http://www.latta.org/Branches/Branch%2017.htm | LATTEA, George Madison (I55238)

| 43639 | Wife Margaret's marital status in the 1900 Census of Doddridge County was widowed. But with name listed as Slaughter B. Nicols, b. Sep 1851, marital status single, he was enumerated in 1900 in the household of his sister & brother-in-law, Matilda & Bruce Corbin, in Rappahannock Co, Virginia.

|
| 43640 | Wife Martha was listed as a widow in the 1900 Census, clearly incorrect. He himself was living alone and listed as a widower in the 1940 Census. | COLLINS, Rufus N. (I57810)
|
| 43641 | Wife Nancy's marital status was given as widowed at the time of her remarriage in January 1862. However, since she was head of household with her daughter in the 1860 Census (enumerated on Aug 8 1860), it is reasonable to assume that he had already died at that time. No record of his death has been found. | DAVIS, Robert Washington (I113438)

|
| 43645 | Wife was identified in the ledger-style marriage record as Mary C. White, daughter of David & Micha. This was apparently a clerical error. Her name appears as Sarah in all other records, including the 1850 and 1860 censuses, which reflect no child of that family named Mary | Family F58182
|
| 43646 | Wife's marital status given as widowed in the 1910 and 1920 censuses., with surname Pritchard/Pritchett. But in the 1930 Census, she was listed as Minnie Persinger, divorced. | PRITCHARD, Andrew (I125779)

|
| 43649 | Wife's marital status listed as widowed at time of her Nov 1936 remarriage in Lewis Co to Hinzman. He was identified in wife's obituary as George Goodwin, an apparent misprint of Gooden as appears in his marriage record and in the record of his wife's remarriage. Additionally, his wife's obituary states his death date as Dec 22 1936, which cannot be correct. | GOODEN, George Washington (I29988)
|
| 43650 | Wife's marital status listed as widowed at time of her remarriage to Israel C. Williams on Jul 3 1872. We have found no death record for Albert G. Pierce. | PIERCE, Albert G. (I40272)
