Peggy, Here is an image of his death record. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=5273252&Type=Death -----Original Message----- From: wvmason-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:wvmason-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of PALarge@aol.com Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 2:06 PM To: WVMASON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WVMASON] how do I get a death certificate in WV I need some information. Any help appreciated. Last year some nice listers responded to my query about the death of Thomas Drew Nov. 27, 1898. I know he was buried in Lone Oak Cemetery and was given the information that he is the only Drew in that cemetery. I have seen that there is a Lone Oak Cemetary and an addition. Are they at the same site? Thomas Drew's place of death was listed as Lock 11 or Lock H. There seems to be a little dot between the two 1's that looks like a crossbar. I've googled both an all I am coming up with is Byrd and a lock at Gallopoli Ferry but even the old part is listed as built in the 1920's or 30's which is too new for Thomas to have worked there. He was a mason so that would be a logical place for him to work. I would really like to get a specific place if I could. It meant something in 1898. I would like to get the death certificate to see what the original says. Someone must have given information. Someone buried him even if it was the county. Would someone have that address? Thomas is my great great grandfather and abandoned his family in Canada to run off and start another family. We knew this but didn't know where other than somewhere south on the east coast. I know he ended up with family and someone called me but got the answer to their question and hung up before I could say anything. Thomas' death cause was listed as drunkeness. I doubt he was living with anyone at that time but someone knows the rest of the story. Thank you for reading.
