Kate’s notes:  George A. Gilliland, despite the fact that his funeral and burial took place at Charleston,  West Virginia, was of Kentucky birth, as were his parents. He and wife Highland, also of Kentucky heritage, had two children, Paul and Nellie L.  At this time I do not know why George was buried at Charleston.
   The surname of George’s grandson, given as Smith in the obituary, appears as Smythe in the 1930 Louisville, Kentucky census.
