  • Name Matilda M. DICKS
    Birth 1 May 1842  Harrison Co, (W)VA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2] 
    Gender Female
    Residence 1864  Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [2] 
    Death 13 May 1918  Market, Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [3, 4] 
    • Entry in Doddridge County death record gives death date as May 13 1918, age 77 yrs 12 days, place of death Market. But the corresponding death certificate at the WV Bureau of Vital Statistics states death date as May 21 1918, also age 77 yrs 12 days, and also at Market. Cause of death given in both records as "old age." Although age at death would put her birth date in May 1841, the 1900 Census shows it as May 1842. "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol. IV," p. 24, reports dates as May 1 1842 - May 13 1913 (sic), presumably from a reading of the headstone. The 1913 death year would appear to be with a misreading or a typographical error.
