His death certificate records John D. Caudill, age 78 years 26 days, born 18 June 1860 in Rowan Co., Ky, died 13 Feb 1938 in Fleming Co., Ky, widowed, farmer, father David Caudill, mother’s maiden name Rosana Christian, both born in Rowan Co., Ky, (although that is incorrect), cause of death lobar pneumonia, informant Roy L. Carter, Colfax, Ky, burial in Fairview.

Since he was listed as 5 months old in the 1860 census, at a visit taken on June 11, he cannot have been born on 18 June 1860. Also 26 days before Feb 13 is Jan 18. This death certificate is typed. Perhaps the original source was from handwritten notes, and “Jan” was misread as “Jun”.

Her gravestone says Elizabeth C. Caudill, 1860 - 1898

Since John and Elizabeth married after 1880 and she died before 1900, they do not appear on any censuses together.
