His death certificate records Martin P. Sexton, age 15 years 3 days, born Nov 11 1912 in Bath Co., Ky, died 12 Nov 1912 in Forge Hill precinct, Bath Co., Ky, father Lewis S. Sexton, mother’s maiden name Lucy Willson, both born in Ky, cause of death peritonitis, informant Harv Sexton, burial in Old Virginia.

The death date (or one day before) was incorrectly entered into the birth date field. (The placement is non-standard, with 11 on the line by the day caption, and 1912 on the line by the month caption, nothing by the year caption, and “Nov” below the line, beneath and to the left of 11. So it may be that 11 was originally entered as a numerical version of the month, rather than the day.)
