His death certificate records Amos Gee, age 57 years 11 months 27 days, born 2 Sep 1872 in Carter Co., Ky, died 26 Aug 1930 in Haldeman, Rowan Co., Ky, occupation brick maker, married, husband of Myrtille Gee, father Champ Gee, born in Ky, mother’s maiden name Mandy Littleton, born in Carter Co., Ky, cause of death adenoma of prostate gland, informant Champ Gee, Olive Hill, Ky, burial in Gee Cemetery.

His gravestone must have been erected long enough after his death that the year was forgotten, because it gives his dates as 1872 - 1929. It is a double one with Myrtle, and her lifespan is given as 1877 - 1952.

Her death certificate records Myrtle Gee, age 75 years 6 months 9 days, born 13 Dec 1875 in Elliott Co., Ky, died 2 July 1952 in Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, widowed, father James Roe, mother’s maiden name Mary Brown, cause of death chronic myocarditis, informant Mandy Boyd, burial in Gee Cemetery, rural Carter Co., Ky.

The birthdate in the death certificate is off by two years. She was recorded as age 2 in the 1880 census. Her gravestone, a double one with Amos, is inscribed Myrtle Gee, 1877 - 1952.

I am not related to this family. I am entering them and their descendants into my database in response to a query from their great-granddaughter Susan Dehart York, daughter of Curtis Dehart and Eulamae Gee.
