"Aunt Charity" was a sister to my Great-Grandfather, Richard W. Nelson .. Below are notes re. her .. Della 1-23-2012

NOTE:
I have, to date, not found a death record for her; Jacob died in 1929 as widower - where is Charity? .. In 1913, as a widower, he married "Nettie" Romans; thus, it is assumed that "Aunt Charity" died sometime before 1913 .. Della 1-23-2012

I have, to date, found data re:
1. Meredith A. Elkins

3. Daniel C. Elkins
(DOB: 3-21-1885 in Wayne Co., WV,
(S/O Jacob & Charity Elkins - Have, to date, found no other data* re. Daniel.)

*If Jacob and Charity are age 37 in 1897, ages of 15 & 17 shown on marriage record may be "in error"?? .. Della 1-23-2012

Until I learn otherwise, I think burial place of Jacob & Charity may be Solomon "Sol" Perry Cemetery, perhaps unmarked graves ..Della 1-23-2012

Looking forward to learning more re. this family .. Della 1-23-2012
