(10) 1930 Census, Doddridge County, WV (West Union District). Event Notes Note (1) Birthplace given in death record as Maryland, but marriage record states Butler County, Pennsylvania. Note (2) Burial location given in death record simply as Lorain, presumably referring to Lorain County, Ohio, since that was his residence at the time of his 1912 marriage. But his headstone is at the IOOF section of Blockhouse Hill Cemetery. The monument prominently bears the logo "B of LF&E," the fraternal society and trade union Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.
