Event Notes Note (1) Age 18 at 1920 Census would put birth in about 1902, but SSDI specifies Oct 14 1900. Note (2) Social Security card issued in West Virginia before 1951. Note (3) Birthplace given in obituary as Doddridge County. But 1930 Census states Montana, and son Alvin's birth record indicates Idaho. Note (4) In 1920, in household of paternal grandparents, Andrew & Sarah Gaskins. In 1930, location specified as Howell's Run, and in 1940 as Big Flint. Note (5) Obituary for Marcelene Powell Nicholson states that she was born on July 5 1923 and died on July 5 2003 at age 79, which would be mathematically incorrect. Her SSDI entry lists her birthdate as Jul 5 1924, which is presumed to be correct.
