Hi Jane, Thank you for the information. Another lister gave me your wvculture web site, and I will be spending some time there. Elizabeth Kessler (nee Brumbaugh) Donovan was born 7/19/1875 to William Brumbaugh and Elizabeth Kessler in VA. I think. She was married to Charles Franklin Donovan in 1898 at Hudsons Crossroads in Shenondoah county, VA.. Your Houston may be a cousin to Elizabeth since they are both from VA., but it would require a search of both their parents to see if they are related.Thanks Again.

There is a Death Record for Elizabeth at the WV Archives but it appears they have not yet microfilmed her full death cert. so this record does not say where she is buried, but it does give you her dod. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=4770690&Type=Death Just today I discovered a Brumbaugh, in a branch of my Hartman family, with the place of birth listed as Virginia. He is listed as Houston Curtis Brumbaugh b. 8 Dec 1897, according to his WWI Draft Reg. Card, and who m. Nellie Virginia Hartman b. 1898 in Upshur Co. WV and died in Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN (if I've found the right one.) According to Nellie's Mother's 1938 obituary, Mrs. H.C. Brumbaugh was living in Morgantown, WV. According to the 1900 Census, Houston C. Brumbough b. VA was living at Ryans Glade, Garrett Co., MD with parents listed as Joseph W. b. Jun 1861 VA and Anni E. b. Jun 1866.
