He retired from Willow Island Power Plant as head of the carpenter's shop. In earlier years he and his family worked the farm with cattle and a large garden. As his children finished high school he and his wife, Evelyn, built Peass Homes for eight years to sell and most proudly produced four oil and gas wells to send each child through college, plus the granddaughter. He loved his work. He would always say, "There was never a day of work that I didn't enjoy." | NICHOLS, Clarence Alvador "Fuzzy" (I135876)

| 15453 | His first marriage, her second, per 1910 Census. | Family: Samuel S. STOUT / Elizabeth Jane MUSGRAVE (F39143)
|
| 15454 | His first two children, Mary Martha and William Andrew, were by his first wife, Mary Hemphill. Hanna states that Alexander Rosborough II had a total of six sons and two daughters by his second wife, Janet Porter, but identifies only the five children listed here. | ROSBOROUGH, Alexander II (I3356)
|
| 15455 | His headstone indicates age 75 at the time of his Dec 23 1868 death, putting his birth in about 1793. But ages 51 and 61 in the 1850 and 1860 censuses put it in about 1799. The name on his headstone is Israel Steadman, while the headstone of his first wife identifies her as Elizabeth, wife of Israel Stedman. We have found no record of his second wife, Permelia Andrews, after the 1860 Census. | STEADMAN, Israel (I121764)
|
| 15456 | His headstone states that he was born and died on 9 Dec 1930. But his death record shows that he was born on 8 (or 9) Dec 1930 and died on 11 Dec 1930, age 3 days. | FORRESTER, William Junior (I23162)
|
| 15457 | His life's work was dedicated to education and the students of Doddridge County. Throughout a distinguished career spanning several decades, Jack first as a principal/teacher and over the years served as a history, driver's education, and health teacher as well as then becoming a principal. He later retired as Director of Supportive Services for Doddridge County Schools, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, integrity, and unwavering commitment to public education. Education was never simply a career for Jack -- it was his life's calling. He believed deeply in the potential of every student and worked tirelessly to ensure young people had every opportunity to succeed. Even after retirement, his passion for education continued as he faithfully served on the Doddridge County Board of Education, helping shape the future of the schools and the community he loved. His influence reached generations of students, teachers, administrators, and families whose lives were enriched by his guidance, encouragement, and vision. Jack also devoted countless hours to athletics, serving for many years as Athletic Director while coaching both football and basketball. He understood that lessons learned on the field and court were just as valuable as those taught in the classroom, mentoring young athletes with the same dedication and care he gave his students. | BELL, Roger Lee "Jack" (I141008)

| 15459 | His marital status widowed, hers single. Nonetheless unclear if Cunningham her maiden name or previous married name. | Family: Thornton M. NORMAN / Rachel R. CUNNINGHAM (F50035)
|
| 15460 | His marriage record and census records consistently put his birth in about 1874 or 1875. But the birth date on his headstone is 1869 and his death record specified Dec 20 1869. This conforms to age 66 stated in his obituary. | AULT, Charles John (I124622)
|
| 15461 | His marriage record clearly identifies him as Arden Arnold Nutter, repeating the name later as Arden A. Nutter. But his birth record just as clearly identifies him as Arden Ronald Nutter. His obituary identifies him as Arden Ronald Nutter, also stating it as Arden R. Nutter. The 1920 Census identifies him as Ardin R. Nutter, as does the 1930 Census. His SSDI entry shows him only as Arden Nutter, but he is identified in the online Ohio death index as Arden R. Nutter. | NUTTER, Arden Ronald (I21028)
|
| 15462 | His marriage record indicates his birth as Nov 9 1854 in Pleasants County, but his birth record shows it as Nov 29 1854 in Wood County. | PRIDE, Alvades Monroe (I129449)
|
| 15463 | His marriage record states his birthplace as Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indians, son of Clarence Rheinhardt & Jean Eileen Enlow. But his birth record shows it as Holland, Dubois County, Indiana, son of Emogean Eileen Enlow, father not identified. | RHEINHARDT, Gary Arden (I42339)

|
| 15468 | His military marker incorrectly shows his death date as 1903, but his obituary (Decorah Republican Decorah; Winneshiek Co., IA Thur 8 Feb 1906 p7 c2-3) states that he "died at the home of his sister Mrs. Musser, Thursday, Feb. 1, 1906." His marker also has a birth date of 1839, which is inconsistent with census and other records. The 1900 Census shows his birth date as Apr 1846, while his obituary states Apr 20 1843. | FOX, Samuel H. (I99758)
|
| 15469 | His military records indicate that he was born in Tyler County, but his marriage record state Marion County. His siblings are also known to have been born in Marion County. | KNIGHT, Alexander (I80529)
|
| 15470 | His military records, identifying him as Jasper W. Davidson, give his birthplace as Barbour County. His headstone also shows his name as Jasper W. Davidson, inconsistent with other records. He was one of eight children. The others: Oscar F. (b. 1827), Joseph, John, Elishe (m. Hester Ann Arahood; went west after Civil War), Cordelia, Barbara Ann (1832-1891), and Mary Emza. | DAVISSON, Jasper W. (I2913)

Relationships not stated. He was again with Martha and her family in the 1880 Census of Grant District, Doddridge County, this time correctly listed as grandson James W. Harris, age 14. | HARRIS, James William (I71548)
|
| 15473 | His name appears as Marshal A. Neel in most records, as well as on his headstone. | NEAL, Marshall A. (I36082)
|
| 15474 | His name appears in the 1880 Census as Harvy White, and in the 1900 Census as Harvey J. White, but in his death record as Harry J. White. The name on his headstone is H. J. White. | WHITE, Harvey J. (I101907)
|
| 15475 | His name given as "Clarence Edward (Ellis) Thompson" in marriage record of son Clarence Jr., but as "Ellis Edward Thompson" in birth record of daughter Mildred Ruth Thompson. His headstone reads "Ellis E. Thompson." | THOMPSON, Clarence Edward Ellis (I18849)
|
| 15476 | His name has appeared in various forms. The typewritten entry in his birth record was simply the last name Hileman, with "Doctor G." later added with pen. In the 1900 Census, he was listed as D. Grant Hileman. Both his death record and obituary identify him as Grant "Doc" Hileman. His headstone, shared with his brother Walter, gives his name as "D. G. 'Dock' Hileman." He was identified in son Lee's birth record as Martin Grant Hileman. The Hileman Genealogy, self-published in 1981 by his half-sisters Edna Pearl Hileman Cooper & Alma Maysel Hileman Pierce, reports his name as Doctor Martin Grant Hileman, stating that he was named for the family doctor, E. M. Martin of Oxford. Although born as the seventh child rather than the seventh son, his name was probably also inspired by the folk practice of the time, especially in the American South, of naming a seventh son "Doctor" because seventh sons were believed to be natural healers. | HILEMAN, Doctor Martin Grant "Dock" (I5297)
|
| 15477 | His name is consistently spelled "Jesse" in all census and other records. It is not until his death record and headstone that the "Jessie" spelling is found. | PAYNE, Jesse W. (I113838)
