Sources: (1) WV State Dept of Health, Div of Vital Statistics, Death Certificate (http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_dcsearch.aspx). Identified as Walter Melville Vincent, son of David B. Vincent & Susannah Kerr, b. May 30 1874, d. Feb 24 1955, age 81y 8m 25d. There is thus a discrepancy in his age or date of birth, as the age would put his birth date at May 30 1873; conversely, the 1874 birth date would make his age one year younger. The more likely scenario is a miscalculation in the age.
