Additional Comments:
Written by the submitter. Can answer genealogical questions about both his maternal 
and paternal lines. Not sure if this is the exact published version, but is the exact 
submitted to the newspaper, and was published there in late August/early September. 
His first cousin, Joseph Tolliver Whaley, died and had an obituary in the paper the 
same week as Irvin's was published. Irvin lived in Bath County and in Ashland, Kentucky 
before moving to Prince Georges County, MD.
