(Note: The accuracy of this entry in the ledger-style death record is questionable. There are several discrepancies between the death record and the headstone, which shows his middle name as Kline and his death date as Jan 5 1900. The birth date appears to be Jul 3 1896, which would then make his age 3 yr 6 mo. No birth record was found for him.), DR p. 7-S. (9) Gilmer County Death Records, Glenville, WV.
