• Name	Eva M. LEESON
  Born	Oct 1883	Doddridge Co, WV   [1, 2, 3]
  	Birth date given as Oct 4 1883 in obituary, but Oct 14 1883 in death record, and headstone also shows birth date as 1883. But age 17 in Jan 1899 would put birth in about 1881 or 1882, and 1900 Census states birth date as Oct 1881, age 18.
