* Notice this is his second marriage. I found this listing for a William Ervin on Find A Grave in Earlham Cemetery in Wayne County that lists his birth date as 1859 and death date of Aug 10, 1915. The stone also shows a wife, Margaret F who looks to be born 1863 and died 1899, 1 year prior to the second marriage referenced above. This could be our William and his first wife. I also found this death record that seems to fit as well.
