(33) West Virginia Deaths Index, 1853-1973 [database on-line], Ancestry.com. (34) 1900 Census, Doddridge County, WV (Grant District) Event Notes Note (1) in household with son Seth in 1900 Note (2) John Shinn's marital status listed as widowed. Note (3) The California Death Index correctly shows Edith M. (Shinn) Wilson's death date as July 12 1916, but it incorrectly reflects her place of death as Los Angeles County, California. Basis for this entry is presumably because Los Angeles had been her most recent residence. But her obituary clearly states that she had traveled east to visit her daughter in Dewar, Oklahoma, and that she died there at her daughter's home. Note (4) Birth record indicates a birth date of Dec 2 1853, but both his death record, obituary and headstone all show it as Dec 21 1853. Note (5) Birth date on headstone is 1862. All other records indicate 1861.
