Individual Details
Euple Ahart
(10 Apr 1905 - 4 Aug 1925)
The Kentucky Death Index has her name as Eifie Ahort and the date as the same as the baby's date of death - August 4th. The Ledbetter cemetery information gives a date of death as August 6th.
There is also a discrepancy in the birth date of Euple. It is Apr 10, 1905 on her death certificate and that also shows the date of death as 4 Aug 1925 and the cause as Eclampsia [complication of childbirth]. Strangely enought the death certificate says that the doctor last saw her alive on the 6th of August - yet it was signed on the 4th of August.. He gave the duration of her illness as three days. The burial date is given a August 5th. Her death certificate shows her as married but then gives her name as Euple S. Ahort, disregarding her husband's surname. Arie Vance was listed as the father and the informant for the birth certificate of her stillborn son. The doctor, L. D. Hall, was the informant for the death certificate of Euple. Euple's father's name was given as Ed Ahort, the mother as Euple O. Ahort. I have no doubt the doctor was a little hasty and perhaps made several errors.
The search for Euple Ahart Vance. The 1920 Calloway Co Census for Liberty has the following:
Edd Ahart, head of household, age 40, born in Kentucky as were his parents.
Wife, Alpha, age 36, also born in KY as were her parents.
?Aubie L., son, age 18
Ouple B., daughter, age 14
Troy, son, age 12
The family was indexed as "Abert". They had the 14-year-old daughter as "Verle B."
Alpha S. Ahart is in the Kentucky death indexed. She died 8 Mar 1962 at age 79.
In 1930, Liberty, Calloway Co:
Edd Ahart, age 50, married at age 19. Alpha, wife, age 47, married at age 16. No children at home.
This census reveals that the older son was perhaps Autrie L. In the household of James W. Williams and wife Margaret is:
Plum F. Ahart, dau, age 27, married at age 18.
L. Autrie Ahart, son-in-law, age 28, married at 19.
Earnestine, grand-daughter, age 8. Edwin, grandson, age 6. Ardith, grand-daughter, age 2 and 4/12.
With additional family names, I was able to find the family in 1910 in Trigg Co, Kentucky, Magisterial District 1. This census is very faded but I could read the following:
Household 63
Edd Ahart, age 30, married for 11 years, born Kentucky as were his parents.
Alpha, age 27, had 4 children, 3 are living, born Kentucky as were her parents.
Aubrey, son, age 8.
Euple, daughter, age 4
Troy, son, age 2
