Came across an interesting document from my mother-in-law's documents. It's a certification letter of some sort that states the birth dates of J.M. Cain's children. The text is as follows:
"Livingston County Court Clerk's Office
Gabe McCandless, Clerk
Smithland, Kentucky
State of Kentucky
Livingston County
I, Gabe McCandless, Clerk of the Livingston County Court, do certify that the children of J.M. Cain as born in Livingston County, Kentucky and the dates of their birth are as follows:
Ernest CainDec 18, 1891
Eula CainSept 7, 1894
Paul CainOct 5, 1896
Envil CainNov 3, 1899
Otto CainNov 14, 1901
The above mentioned names' birth record is of record in School Census Book #5, at page 188 of the Livingston County Court Clrek's office.
This October 13, 1944.
Signed by Gabe McCandless and impressed with the seal of the County Court."
I have not seen the School Census book referred to in the document, but I thought it odd that the document was created referencing the birth dates of children who would be in their 40's and 50's at the time. I have no idea why this would have been in question so long after their birth.
