    1. [S1774] Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937, (Wes Cochran, 156 Gihon Meadows, Apt 150, Parkersburg, WV 26101 (Jan 1993)).
      Identified as Sheridan G. Greathouse, 38, of Doddridge Co; and Ruth Rosier, 22, b. Wood Co, res. Doddridge Co. Married Mar 8 1934. NOTE: Wife's obituary, identifying husband as Sherd Greathouse, provides marriage date as Mar 18 1934 and states her birth as Feb 12 1917 in Rosemont (Taylor County). Husband's SSDI entry, also identifying him as Sherd Greathouse, shows birth date as May 27 1887. So it appears that both parties altered their ages to make the age difference seem not as great.
