    3. Per OH Deaths 1908-1953 found on Family Search.org: Mrs. Nellie WISE b. 21 July 1899 d. Bethesda Hospital, Zanesville, OH, 2am 29 March 1934 age 34y 8m 8d. Married, caucasian, occupation: at home. Spouse: V.J. WISE Father: J.R. BEST (sic) b. Morgan Co, OH. Mother: Lulu DANIEL b. Morgan Co, OH Informant: J.R. BEST, Malta, OH Cause of death: puerperal fever for 4 days after childbirth-no cause located. Child b. 22 March 1934 with easy, uncomplicated labor. Burial: 31 March 1934 Malta Cemetery There is real confusion here, as Lulu DANIEL m. #1 Charles R. NEWBERRY 15 Oct 1898 Morgan Co, OH. Per Morgan Co BIRTHS Vol 1, Nellie May NEWBERRY b. 20 July 1899 Morganville, Union Twp, Morgan Co, OH-her parents recorded as Charles R. NEWBERRY & Lulu DANIEL. Lulu DANIEL NEWBERRY "once prev married/divorced" m. #2 Joseph Reverdy (J.R.) BEST 26 Sep 1908 Morgan Co, OH. When Nellie married Vivian James WISE 11 March 1922 Morgan Co, OH, her name is recorded in the marriage record as Nelly Mae BEST, father Reverdy BEST & mother Lulu DANIEL. And the burial record for Nellie May in Malta Union Cemetery, Malta Twp, Morgan Co, OH show WISE, Nellie May BEST wife of N.J.[sic] WISE 1899-1934. On Nellie's d. cert (viewed on the website you directed me to) her father is named as J.R. BEST, mother, Lulu DANIEL. J.R. BEST of Malta, OH is the informant for the info on Nellie's d. cert. Now I have to find out if J.R. BEST actually adopted Nellie May NEWBERRY...she would have been age 9y when her mother married BEST. Or, maybe she assumed her stepfather's surname when her mother remarried. Ahh, the challenge of the search.... Nellie May and Vivian James WISE were parents of 4 children: Robert L. WISE b. ca 1923; Clarence N. WISE b. 2 Apr 1927; Ina M. WISE (m. Frank PORTER) b. ca 1930; Wayne A. WISE b. 22 March 1934. Please contact me if you recognize any of these names. I am connected to the DANIEL line and can share additional info.
