Notes for Jasper A. Amburgey
His WW I draft registration, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Jasper Amburgey, age 45, residence Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, born 28 April 1873, farmer, self-employed, nearest relative Ettie Amburgey, wife.
His death certificate records Jasper Amburgey, age 76 years 5 months 30 days, born 1873 in Kentucky, died 14 Sep 1949 at St. Joe Hosp, Lexington, Fayette Co., Ky, residence Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, widowed, laborer, father Elige Amburgey, mother’s maiden name Lou Ann Steward, cause of death intestinal obstruction due to incarcerated hernia, informant Everett Amburgey, burial in Brown Cem, Morehead.
The reported age at death implies a birthdate of 15 March 1873, but I am going by the date on his draft registration, since he reported that himself. (His gravestone just has the year 1873.)
