      Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County Deaths" incorrectly reports death date as Nov 11 1934. The death certificate clearly shows the death date as Dec 26 1934 at age 30y 2m 21d, with burial on Dec 27 1934. A notation on the death record states "they had no doctor but the county nurse gave brights disease as cause of death."
