About birth year for Susan. Susan does not appear in the 1860 Census. Which means, she was not born in 1859, which is on her grave marker. The first Census Susan appears in is the 1870 Census at age 10. The 1900 Census has Oct 1858. October is probably valid. But the year has to be 1860 not 1858 or 1859.

The above birth record for Dottie is the only record for this child. She does not appear on the 1910 Census, so it is assumed she died before then. I could find no death record for her between 1903 and 1910 in the WV records. However, there appears to be a gap in the death records for Randolph Co., between 1903 and 1909.

Accessed April 28, 2022

Lawrence �Tom� Clinton Isner, 86, passed away Wednesday, December 30, 2020, at TriPoint Medical Center. He was born January 19, 1934 in Belpre, Ohio, to Letitia (Knox) and Robert Isner. He met the love of his life, Doris Shreve, and they married 67 years ago, December 19, 1953.

Lawrence had been a warehouse manager and truck driver for Brown Furniture in Painesville, and retired from Lubrizol where he served as an electrician. He was a wood-worker and a strong fella with a high tolerance to pain, which only made him tougher, more stubborn, and a survivor. Lawrence was a Godly man and attended Willo-Hill Baptist Church. He was a loving husband and daddy.

He is survived by his loving wife, Doris; daughter, Tena (John) Kegg; sister, Charlene Starkey.

He is preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Bette Elder, Doraleen Bee, Susan Works; brothers, Arthur �Max� Isner, Robert Isner, Johnnie Isner, and Terry Isner.

Private family services will be observed. Final resting place will be at Perry Cemetery.

Accessed April 15, 2022

Joanna Samuelson officiating. Inurnment of Betty and her late husband, Chester, will follow in Newark Memorial Gardens.

Betty passed away on Friday, August 7, 2020 at Licking Memorial Hospital surrounded by family. She was born May 7, 1937 in Elkins, West Virginia, to the late Hanning and Nellie (Isner) Isner Murphy.

Betty enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was very social as a member of the Elks Ladies Auxiliary, Newark Mannerchor, a member of the Second Baptist Church on National Drive, and the First Baptist Church on Granville Road. Betty enjoyed listening to the radio for Red's baseball and KOOL 101.7.

Her winters sport was devoted to The Ohio State Buckeyes football team and their games. She was also a wonderful cook and baker, creating many wonderful dishes for her family and friends.

Betty was the co-owner of Merritt Nursery for over 50 years with her beloved husband, Chester. She and her late husband were caregivers to many children over the years, and affectionately earned the nicknames of "Nanny" and "Poppy".

She is survived by her two daughters, Rhonda S. Cochran and Mary Christine (James) Petty; four grandchildren, James Christopher Merritt Petty, Andrew Merritt Petty, Rhett Steven Merritt Cochran and Trevor Scott Merritt Cochran; nieces and nephews and their families held a special place in her heart. Betty's cousin, "Carol Louise", was more like a younger sister to her, and they had many adventures together.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Chester Merritt (2019); and a sister, Mary (Isner) Richardson.

Family and friends may call from 10-11 a.m. on Tuesday, October 6, at The Newark Chapel of Henderson-Van Atta-Stickle Funeral & Cremation Service, 59 North Fifth Street, Newark.

About Joseph Grahams father -- Some family trees on Ancestry have Joseph's father as William Elihue Graham. The first name of William comes from a genealogy book about the Canfield Family History (no author given) pg 66. That says that Celestia marries William Graham. This is the only place "William" appears and everyone has copied this information as the truth.

Looking at Joseph's delayed birth certificate, death certificate and his parents' 1880 Census, The first name was Alexander. Possible middle name of Elihue. Joseph's mother dies under her maiden name of Currence. Either Alexander died or was divorced before Celestia's death. There are two Alexander Graham born around 1852 Virginia that appear in the records. One that moved to and married in NY and the other did the same in MT.
