The alarm was quickly given but a few moments and the four tons of unbaled hay was a mass of flames and nothing could be done to save either the building or its contents. "A valuable pair of young horses worth $40 to $500 were burned to death. In all some nine or ten tons of hay, about 100 bushels of unthrashed oats, and about 100 bushels of unthrashed wheat was destroyed. Mr. Shannon also lost all of his working and driving harness.

She was born on May 30, 1914, in Washington, D.C., the elder child of Susan Maxwell Abel of Clarksburg, West Virginia, and Colonel Charles Abel and was the granddaughter of William Brent Maxwell and Emma Williams Maxwell of Clarksburg. Emily grew up in Santa Barbara, where she attended Howard School in Montecito, and in New York where she graduated from Emma Willard School in Troy. She attended Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, and graduated from the Royal Academy in London, England, where she studied acting. Always treasuring her West Virginia roots, she was a very generous donor to Alderson-Broaddus College, endowing the Maxwell Chair in the Humanities, as well as the Alderson-Broaddus College Scholarship Fund, established in memory of Emily's mother, Susan Alice Maxwell Tutenberg. During her acting career she appeared on the New York stage and toured with Katherine Cornell in "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" as Henrietta. That tour included an extended overseas engagement with the USO, performing before military audiences during World War II. Among her many theatrical credits were Portia in "Julius Caesar" and Kathleen in "The Prescott Proposals." She performed professionally under the stage name of Emily Lawrence. Mrs. Newton was first married to Robert Lawrence Balzar of Los Angeles and then to Theodore Newton, also a stage and screen actor, who preceded her in death on February 28, 1963. Thereafter, she resided in Santa Barbara near her mother, Susan Tutenberg, who died in 1970. She cared deeply for her fellow man and was a generous supporter of social and environmental causes throughout her lifetime, including Santa Barbara Rehabilitation Foundation, Santa Barbara County United Way, Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara, Planned Parenthood, Laguna Cottages for Seniors, Santa Barbara Foundation, Santa Barbara County Mental Health Assn., Santa Barbara Symphony Orchestra Assn., Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse Assn., Community Action Commission, KCET, Santa Barbara Humane Society, Environmental Defense Center, Community Environmental Council and G.O.O. (Get Oil Out), among many others. Emily is survived by her brother, Brent Maxwell Abel and his wife, Corinne, of San Rafael, California; a stepson, David Newton of Northampton, Massachusetts; two step-grandchildren, Hillary and Peter Newton; a niece, Molly Abel Warner of Monterey, California; and a nephew, Brent M.

| 20871 | No birth or death record for Ralph Hurst has been found. He is one of several infants of Luther & Hester Hurst buried as Cascara Cemetery. | HURST, Ralph (I124779)
|
| 20872 | No birth record found. Her birth date is given in her death record as Oct 4 1897. But the 1900 Census shows it as Oct 1896, one year older than sister Bertha. Her headstone has only the year 1896. | CROOK, Maude Myrtle (I53188)
|
| 20873 | No birth record had been found for James W. Davis. Birth date reported by "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 68, as 4 March 1858. But age 8 in the 1860 Census would put his birth in about 1852, while age 14 in the 1870 Census and age 24 in his 1880 marriage record puts it in about 1856. The date on his headstone is 4 December 1856, conflicting with the 7 Sep 1856 birth date of his brother George. | DAVIS, James W. (I41701)

|
| 20889 | No death record found. It is likely that her death occurred in late December 1914, based on the following newspaper article and the 1914 date on her headstone: Local news item, Doddridge County Republican, Thursday, January 14, 1915, in its entirety: "The sad news comes to us that Icy, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hufford of Industrial has been taken to the Kessler Hospital at Clarksburg to have one of her feet amputated. About a year ago, she sustained a fracture from a fall; an operation was performed at that time, but since, tubercular infection developed, rendering the amputation necessary." | HUFFORD, Icie L. (I135054)
|
| 20890 | No death record has been found for William Richards. In her account of his parents and siblings, Minnie Kendall Lowther says only that "William Richards settled on the Rev. E. J. Taylor farm, where he passed from earth." ["History of Ritchie County," p. 362] | RICHARDS, William Mason (I116184)
|
| 20891 | No death record has been found. However, the following notice appeared on the front page of The Daily Telegram newspaper, Clarksburg, WV, on 14 May 1907: "J. W. Fowler took out papers of administration on the personal estate of Sophronia Fowler, deceased, with bond at $500 and J. F. Johnson surety. J. F. Johnson, Geo. L. Duncan and H. B. F. Post were appointed appraisers of the estate." | COTTRILL, Sophronia (I139768)
|
| 20892 | No death record in Doddridge Co. | SNIDER, Iva Agnes (I17829)
|
| 20893 | No entry for Nancy (Hughes) Holcomb has been found in the 1870 Census. She was not with her husband and their older children in the 1870 Census, the last record found for him. She was listed as widowed in the 1880 Census. It appears likely that they had separated or divorced prior to 1870. | HUGHES, Nancy (I138816)
|
| 20894 | No entry for Thomas W. Crislip/Chrislip and/or his family has been found in the 1880 Census. Family tradition states that they settled on Brushy Fork in New Milton, Doddridge County, in or about 1878. | CRISLIP, Thomas W. (I95160)
|
| 20895 | No grave marker except the engraved initials "T. G." on a field stone, located next to the grave of James A. Gaston. | GASTON, Thomas Logan (I36457)
|
| 20896 | No headstone, but a small homemade wooden marker gives age at death as 92y 1m 24d. | HUSK, Absalom (I768)
|
| 20897 | No headstone. Age 82y 11m in death record would put birth date in 1851, but date on funeral home grave marker is 1852. | VINCENT, Isaac F. (I77969)
|
| 20898 | No information regarding the parents of Rulina Lowther has been found. A copy of her obituary was located, but although it specified her birth as Aug 12 1825 in Harrison County, it made no mention of parents or siblings. Harrison County in 1825 encompassed a much larger area than it does now, so her birthplace may actually have been in present-day Doddridge County, which was created in 1845 from parts of Harrison, Tyler, Ritchie and Lewis Counties. A reference in one printing of her obituary to her and husband Eli having "20 children" was clearly a typographical error intended to be "10," as another printing stated that they had "ten children." It was once thought that her actual first name was Pauline, but that is now considered doubtful and was probably the result of a clerical error. The original handwritten death record for her son John Morris Gaston, on file at the WV State Archives, identifies his mother as Rulina Lowther, while the corresponding typed death record for him on file in Harrison County identifies her as Pauline Lowther. Since this was the only time that the name "Pauline" has been noted in original records, it was presumably a misreading by the typist of "Rulina" on the original handwritten document. Similarly, the obituary of her son Eli Clark Gaston identified her as Rebecca Lowther, the only time that that name has been noted and is presumably a misprint intended to be Rulina. With these two exceptions, all other references to her are as Rulina (misspelled Relina in her handwritten marriage record). The only reference we have found of her middle initial was in the 1910 Census, which clearly identified her as Rulina A. Family information sheets completed by her son David Dow Gaston and grandson Ira Dow Gaston identified her as Rulina Lowther, born Aug 12 1825 in Harrison Co, died Sep 30 1911. The space for the names of her parents was left blank on the form filled out by David, while Ira's stated that she was the daughter of "Unknown." The only photograph we have of Rulina Lowther was found among other family photographs. Three of her grandchildren and one niece were named Rulina. | LOWTHER, Rulina A. (I245)

| 20899 | No marriage record found SOMETHING IS OFF HERE - Local news item, "West Union Herald," Thursday, Oct 24 1918, in its entirety: "The two-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cavins died at the home of its grandfather, Alf Collins, Saturday morning at 3:30, and interment was made at the Ruley cemetery at 10 a.m. Sunday. A. J. Osborne, funeral director, was in charge." | Family: Charles Leonard CAVINS / Bessie COLLINS (F35218)
