KINGSBURY February 15, 1899 Breckinridge County KyArchives Obituaries Breckinridge News, Cloverport, Ky., Wednesday, February 22, 1899 Death Notice, Page 1 FUNERAL IN CLOVERPORT LAST THURSDAY: William KINGSBURY, who died of old age last Wednesday (February 16, 1899). He only lacked a few days of being 95, and was Breckinridge County's oldest inhabitant. He left to mourn him one daughter, Mrs. Charles LISHEN, and two sons, Eugene KINGSBURY of Cloverport, and Wallace KINGSBURY of Louisville (Jefferson County), Ky. The funeral was preached by the Reverend RUTLEDGE. He was buried beside his wife at the old Oglesby Cemetery.

If he was a few days from being 95 years old, then either the transcribers got the dates wrong, or this can't be him. KINGSBURY, William H. Sept 12, 1848 -- Nov 21, 1881 husband of Mary C. His dates should be: born Feb 1804 died Feb 15, 1899. I thought he could be a son, but Mary C. is identified as wife of William H. The only way to solve this dilemma is to visit the cemetery.
