      Identified as Thos. Powell, age (obscured, second digit 2), married, farmer; died Jan 28 1906, cause of death consumption. (Note: Headstone of H. T. Powell at Keys Cemetery has dates Apr 2 1840 - Feb 10 1906, age 65. The reverse side of the headstone indicates the burial of Martha Powell, May 11 1845 - Feb 15 1924, "Wife of H.T." "Doddridge County Cemeteries," Vol I, p. 70, correctly reports this headstone information, noting also that H. T. Powell's obituary appeared in the West Union Record of Feb 23 1906. Based on the obituary date, the correct death date is probably Feb 10, with the Jan 28 entry in the handwritten ledger-style death record a likely clerical error.)
