  • Name Lucy V. SMITH 
    Born 23 Jul 1887  Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3] 
    • "History of Doddridge County," p. 362, incorrectly states her birth as Jul 23 1889. The obituary of her death on Jul 14 1951 lists birth date as Jul 23 1887 and her age as 64 (that actually would make her nine days short of her 64th birthday), and her birth record also shows she was born on Jul 23 1887. Her grave marker indicates her birth only as the year 1887.
