Notes for Edward Lands
There was also an Edward Lands born Sep 1881 in Franklin Co., Ohio. Be careful not to get them confused.
His WW I draft registration card, filed Sep 1918, records Ed Lands, age 35, residence Nelsonville, Athens Co., Ohio, born 25 May 1883, employer Pittsburg Coal Co., Nelsonville, Athens Co., Ohio, nearest relative Mrs. Sousa Lands, Nelsonville, Athens Co., Ohio.
His WW II draft registration card records Ed Lands, age 59, residence Marion township, 3 miles east of Alger, Hardin Co., Ohio, born 25 May 1882 in Athens Co., Ohio, contact Nora Shadley, Alger, Ohio.
His death certificate records Edward Lands, age 69, born 25 May 1881 in Ohio, died 15 Mar 1951 in Manton, Floyd Co., Ky, occupation mining and farmng, divorced, father Bill Lands, mother’s maiden name Sophie Johnson, cause of death found dead in bed (illegible phrase) carcinoma of rectum, informant Ted Meadows, burial in Clark May Cemetery, Manton, Ky.
I cannot find any community named Manton in Floyd Co., Ky. There is a Martin, Ky there, but this certificate pretty clearly says Manton. It even has Martin, Ky as the address of the funeral director, and the words Manton and Martin are very near each other and look quite different. It was probably a coal mining camp.
