Records:
Dates on Headstone
1872-1874
Births in Jackson County, Ohio
Ovid Sherman Harrell
May 2, 1871
to Abijah Harrell and Mary Brunton
Deaths in Jackson County, Ohio
Abel Sherman Hearell
February 18, 1873
Scioto Township
Aged 10 months 16 days
Names were not consistent in the records but I opted to use the full name given on the death record. Monument indicates he was called by his middle name.
The records as to years of birth and death are inconsistent as well. The only thing that matches exactly is the 16 days. The Jackson County records were not compiled in chronological order so accuracy is not guaranteed. The handwriting suggests that they were compiled from notes.
I have chosen the birth and death years to be consistent with age at time of death. The monument was not constructed until at least 20 years after his death and so a guess may have been made on dates.
