  Notes	1920 Census, Wetzel Co, WV (city of New Martinsville), enumerated on Jan 9 1920 at 420 (?) Ohio Street: William R. Dayton, 50, insurance agent; wife Elsie M, 31; son Waldo G, 10; dau Helen L, 7. 1930 Census, Ohio Co, WV (city of Wheeling): Elsie M. Dayton, 43, seamstress, widowed; son George Waldow, 21, machinist, single; dau Helen Waldow, 17, stenographer, single. (Note: Elsie's marital status as widowed is incorrect and should have been either separated or divorced. Husband William, who died in 1946, was not found in this census. The enumerator also erred by entering son George's middle name as his surname, carrying the error over to his sister Helen. George's marital status is also misleading, since he had married in 1928 and was divorced by the time of his 1934 remarriage.)
