RESPONSE: I am looking at the annotated 1880 Clay Co. Fed. Census right now and it may be from the information listed here that Josie STEWART may or may not have been his mother. I am not related. Simply passing on the information from the census as follows: Dwelling 316-316 WAGES, John, 32, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Jane, 38, wife, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Patsy, 7, b. KY . .Julius, 3, b. KY (I this is your Ulyses) . .Susan, 1, b. KY John WAGES married lst to Josephine STEWART abt. 1870 and married 2nd to Jane HOLLIN on 11-16-1876 in Clay Co., KY I don't know anything about the Kentucky State Hospital at Boyle Co. However, he might have had tuberculosis or something like that that required a long stay back then. What was the medical diagnosis on the death cert? Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA Message text written by INTERNET:KYCLAY-L@rootsweb.com >I need help. I just got the death certificate for my greatgrandfather Ulyses Wagers. It shows his mother as Josie Stewart. I am having problems reading the fathers first name. It starts with a Jo and the rest can be left to the imagination. Ulyses was born in Clay County in 1875. He died in the Kentucky State Hospital in Boyle County. Does anyone know what kind of hospital this was? The certificate shows him being there 8 months. Bev <
