Death record specifies birth date as May 10 1888. Note (2) Name appears on upright headstone as L. Zellie Jones, and on flat military grave marker as Leonard Anzella Jones. Note (3) Birthplace is given in obituary as Tyler County, but is shown in the WV Births Index as Pleasants County. Note (4) Birthplace given in marriage record as Doddridge County. But WV Birth Index shows it as North View (Clarksburg), Harrison County. Birth date in death record is given as Nov 19 1916, but birth record and headstone show it as Nov 18 1916.Name Index
