    4. [S1554] Doddridge County Marriage Records, West Union, WV, MR p. 309.
      Identified as J. W. Dotson, 37, b. & res. in Ritchie Co; and Mary Prim, 34, b. & res. in Doddridge Co. Married Aug 17 1905 "at or near Stanley, W.Va." (Note: The community of Stanley is just over the county line in Tyler County, so it would be possible to be "near" Stanley but still be in Doddridge County. Wife's obituary incorrectly states marriage date as Aug 16 1905.)
