There appear to be two entries for this death: (1) DR p. 99 identifies the deceased as E. Hess, female, age 39, married, b. at Blandville, died Jan 10 1896 at Blandville, cause of death consumption, buried Jan 11 1896 at Blandville, undertaker R. Harshbarger, West Union. (2) DR p. 54 identifies the deceased as Eliza Hess, 39, dau of Richard & J. Bland, wife of Peter Hess, died Feb 19 1897 in Blandville, cause of death consumption, informant Peter Hess, husband. While the first entry appears to have been made soon after the death, the second entry is found in an alphabetical listing apparently made some time later. The headstone for Lizar M. Hess, wife of Peter Hess, at the Blandville Cemetery shows her date of death as Jan 10 1896. - [S1774] Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937, (Wes Cochran, 156 Gihon Meadows, Apt 150, Parkersburg, WV 26101 (Jan 1993)).
