Notes for Zella C. Lambert
The Kentucky Birth Index lists Zella C. Lambert, born 12 Oct 1915 in Breathitt Co. (a misindexing of Rowan Co.11), mother’s maiden name Rachel Mauk.
She may be the Zella C. Lambert listed in the West Virginia death index as died 28 Sep 1918 in Herndon, Wyoming Co., West Virginia, age 1 year 1 month, mother’s name Rachel Lambert. The reported age would imply a birthdate in Aug 1917, though. On 28 Sep 1918 this Zella would have been 2 years 11 months, which seems like a very large discrepancy. One possibility is that she died before 1917, and Oliver and Rachel had another daughter in 1917 whom they gave the same name. Sometimes parents do this when the first child of a given name dies in infancy.
