      Identified as Sylvanus Davis, single, 41, b. Doddridge Co, res. Tucker Co, son of Paulina & Absalom Davis; and Elizabeth A. Smith, single, 28, b. Upshur Co, res. Tucker Co, dau of John & Elizabeth A. Smith. Married Jul 24 1887 in Tucker County. (Note: "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 128, specifies location as the city of Davis, and identifies wife's mother as Charlotte Hyde. Wife is identified in husband's death record as Anna Fleming, possibly resulting from the fact that their residence in Summit Park was on Fleming Street.)
