Alda Vangilder..Granddaughter..Oct 1889..10..West Virginia

NOTE - With a surname of Vangilder one would expect the grand-daughter to be from one of Martin's sons but Alda's birth date was only Oct 1889 making Martin's sons too young to be Alda's father. Therefore, Alda was probably an illegitimate daughter born to one of Martin's daughters or perhaps just a daughter from another close relative and the description of grand-daughter is not correct. The gravestone for Alda reveals the true parent: Margaret Vangilder.
