Jay I understand that you are in Ohio BUT if you ever go or know someone near Hinton, WV the library there on Temple St has a micro film series by last names on news articles especially obits in their genealogy section. I have gotten a lot of mine from there. Also I still do not understand what that second series of dates with the question mark in the cemetery book refered to; it can not be from his parents as they werer both born in the 1800s. "1912/1970?" Could these be his correct birth/death dates? Also I have always found the funeral parlors in Hinton are staffed with very friendly people if you can contact them -only two I believe. Did you get into Charleston Gazette obits? They do run Beckly & other section obits as well.
