  • Notes 
    • 1910 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District, Town of West Union), enumerated in Apr 1910:
      Benjimine W. Foley, 55, married 8 yrs; wife Clara V. Foley, 42, mother of 3 children (all still living); mother-in-law Malissa Bee, 73, widowed.
      (Note: We have no record of any of Clara Bee Foley's children, and it is puzzling why they would not be present in the household for this census. It is noted that Melissa was also enumerated for this census in the household of another daughter, Catherine Bee Stutler, in Washington DC.)
