Notes for Seward Henry Hill
His death certificate records Henry Seward Hill, age 52 years 1 month 22 days, born 19 Oct 1899 in West Virginia, died 11 Dec 1951 in Madison, Boone Co., West Virginia, occupation coal miner, married, father Robert Hill, mother’s maiden name Leota Miller, cause of death cerebral hemorrhage, informant Elsie Hill, burial in Madison Memorial.
His gravestone (which has his name as Seward Henry Hill) also has the birthdate 19 Oct 1899, but the year is very likely incorrect, since in the 1900 census, Leota is listed as single, with her parents, and Seward does not appear with any family, and in the 1910 census, his age is given as 9.
