Subject: SPIKER/SPEICHER, WOLFE - Garrett Co, MD, Mineral Co, WV
Charles Blaine SPIKER/SPEICHER & Mary Hannah WOLFE
The obituary for Charles Blaine SPIKER/SPEICHER, death due to acute congestive heart failure, 11 Mar 1946, of Garrett County, MD (died Keyser, New Creek Dist, Mineral Co, WV), has some incorrect information. Alice WOLFE MOOMAU was the sister of Charles' wife Mary Hannah WOLFE, not his sister.
The James WOLFE noted in Charles Blaine's obituary was Alice's son. Alice WOLFE had James prior to her marriage to William MOOMAU, she did not marry James' father.
***********************************
NOTE: This helps explain why two of the children had the name "Wolf" written by their names in the 1930 census. The entry appears that it was done as an after thought.
