Notes for Eva Truesdell
Her maiden name was recorded as Truesdale on her daughter Edna’s death certificate, and as Trusell on her son Walter’s.
Her death certificate records Eva Turner, age 36, born Sept (year blank) in Ohio, father Byram Trusle, born in New York, mother’s maiden name Julia Blood, born in Ohio, cause of death ensanity for the last 5 weeks till April the 27th had a parylitic stroke from hemorhage of brain, informant J. T. Howerton, Clearfield, Ky, burial in Bradley Cemetery.
The informant J. T. Howerton was Eva’s brother-in-law-in-law, that is, he was the husband of Howard Turner’s sister Sadie.
Her gravestone, next to Howard’s, records her birthdate as 22 May 1881.

Notes for Howard Monroe & Eva (Family)
I cannot find a marriage record for them in Rowan Co., and records are fairly complete for the early 1900’s, so they were probably married in Bath, where they were living in 1910.
