At age 7, Clarence died on 13 October 1904 at Rosby's Rock, Marshall County, West Virginia. According to the official Register of Deaths, he died after ten days of bowel trouble.²

According to family, Clarence died in a horse-related accident at a very young age. However, I've heard multiple versions: One version is that Clarence was jumping a horse over a gate - the horse fell and threw him off, breaking his neck.³ Per another version, Clarence was doing flips on the back of a horse when he fell off and broke his neck⁴. A third version recounts that the fall happened along the road (Aston Ridge) just below the family home when the horse was stung by a bee and jumped.⁵

A nephew of Clarence told me that the family never talked about Clarence much at all³ - presumably because it was so upsetting that he died at such a young age. He was interred on 15 October 1904 in the Oak Grove United Methodist Church Cemetery, Fork Ridge Road, Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia; his name appears on the gravestone as "Clarence E. Aston."²

There are discrepancies as to her name: while she seems to have used Emma as her first name, it may have been a shortened form of Emily based on her death certificate. I have seen her middle name spelled as Eveline and as Evelyn, both of which could be pronounced the same. So which is correct: Emma Eveline or Emily Evelyn? I'm not sure, so for now I have opted to (1) treat Emily as her first name, (2) simply use a middle initial for Eveline/Evelyn , and (3) treat Emma as a nickname or commonly used name by placing it in quotes.¹

Emily married Isaac Newton Ryan, son of David Ryan.

At the time of Emma's death, her address was R.D. 2, Moundsville, Meade District, Marshall County, West Virginia.¹ She died at age 74 on 10 April 1950 at that same rural address, which may or may not mean she died at home.¹ She was interred on 13 April 1950 in the Salem Church of Christ Cemetery, Bowman Ridge, Glen Easton, Marshall County, West Virginia.¹
