The delayed birth certificate is of my grandfather Benjamin Franklin Howard the age of 79 refers to the Dr. who was a non relative affidant. Aunt Bertha is Bertha Howard daughter of Benjamin granddaughter of Elhannon and Jane A. Howard. Aunt Varilla is a daughter of Elhannon and Jane A. Howard. Death date of 29 Jan 1908 is the death date of Elhannon Howard. Sorry for any and all confusion. gloria
