Note (2) Age given in marriage record and in 1920 and 1930 Censuses would put birth in about 1881 or 1882, and 1900 Census states July 1881, age 18. But birth date is given in birth record and obituary as Jul 17 1879, and date on headstone is also 1879. Although her parents were married in 1878, an entry for them in the 1880 Census could not be found. Note (3) Birth date on headstone is 1909, but SSDI shows it as Feb 12 1907. Age in 1910 Census was three. Note (4) Enumerated on Apr 3 1940, the census showed Ralph H. Miller, 30, single, b. WVa, Private in the US Army, among the many soldiers assigned to the "Casual Army Detachment" at the Fort McDowell Military Reservation, located on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. His residence in April 1935 was listed as rural Doddridge County, WVa. During World War II, Fort McDowell served as part of the huge San Francisco Port of Embarkation. The fort became a staging center for "casuals" (unassigned enlisted men) being sent as replacements to the Pacific Theater of War. The installation was deactivated in 1946 and is now a part of Angel Island State Park. www.angelisland.org http://www.militarymuseum.org/CpReynolds.html
