Event Notes Note (1) Obituary states place of birth as Oxford (Doddridge Co, WV), but immediate family, marriage record and death certificate all indicate Wetzel Co, WV. Note (2) Death record reports date of death as July 25 1947. But details of the circumstances of the automobile accident show that it was in the early morning hours of July 26 1947, a date concurred with by the immediate family. His military gravestone incorrectly shows his death date as Aug 26 1947.
