Notes for Stella Petitt
The Jesse Petitt bible1 has entry: "Stella Petitt B. Dec 11, 1912 Married Norman Skaggs Nov. 28, 1931 Stella Died Aug. 12, 1932"
Her birth and death certificates give slightly different dates.
The index to Kentucky Vital Statistics in Frankfort lists birth of Stella Petitt on 31 Dec 1912 in Breathitt Co., mother's maiden name Emma Clark. She was really born in Rowan Co.; for some reason all births in Rowan Co. in the period 1912-1917 are indexed as Breathitt Co. even when the birth certificate says Rowan Co.
Her death certificate states Stella Scaggs, age 19 years 7 months 16 days, born 31 Dec 1912 in Rowan Co., died 16 Aug 1932 in Hogtown precinct, Rowan Co., Ky, married, wife of Morman Scagg, father Jessie Petitt, mother Emma Clark, both born in Rowan Co., cause of death typhoid fever, informant Emma Petitt, Crix, Ky, burial in Pennington Cemetery.

Notes for Norman & Stella (Family)
Rowan Co., Ky marriage book 35, p. 78, records the marriage of Norman Scaggs, farmer, age 23, son of Joe and Ida Scaggs, and Stella Pettitt, age 17, daughter of Jesse and Emma Petitt, both spouses born in and residents of Rowan Co., on 16 Oct 1931 at Morehead by G. W. Hall. (The minister’s return section was apparently initially left blank, because it has been filled in with the data - including names of bride and groom - corresponding to the license on p. 79, which was then partially erased (as well as can be done with ink) and entered on the next page under the correct license.)
