An article in The History of Doddridge County written by a grandson (Raymond Squires) puts the death date at Jan 9 1894, which conflicts with this death record. There is, however, another record on file for James Squires indicating death date as Jan 1 1894. The death record gives age at death as 70, which does not correspond with anything else and is considered to be an error. DR Bk 1, p. 76. (10) Headstone.
