born. May 11, 1845, Dec. June 24, 1921."

of her son Willie Durham, age 44, in the 1920 Census for Casey County, Kentucky.

"Willie" DURHAM was born on 14 Jul 1875 in Kentucky.36,41,44,45 There
is a William H. Durham, age 54 and "single", who I believe may be the
same "Willie" Durham, age 44 and "single" living in the 1920
census for Casey County, Kentucky with mother "Permelia, age 75".
The only thing is that this William H. Durham lists his birth place as "Indiana".
