    Notes 

    • Birth Record
      Name: ...le Shaffer (assuming it is Merle)
      Birth Date: page is torn & bottom corner is missing- last date that shows is 10/3/1915, she is down 3 lines. Dates on page range from 1/25/1915 to 4/1/1916 and are not in order
      Birth Place: Clay Co, West Virginia
      Sex: Female
      Mother: V. Shaffer
      Father: W. S. Shaffer
      Because she is 5 in 1920 (census taken 8 Jan 1920) and 15 in 1930 (census taken 4/15/1930), I think she was probably born in 1914, but could be 1915, but not 1916 as shows on the SS App
