    W. Claude Craighead, Jan. 9, 1877 - Nov. 6, 1955. Zella Fewell, 1885 - Jun. 17, 1937. William Nathan "Claude" Craighead was a son of Mark Anthony Craghead & Barbara Ann Debo.

  • Notes 
    • William N. Craghead Miss Zella Fewell 22 Nov 1903 H469

      At the time of his death he lived at 512 Bluff Street, Fulton. He died at home, three days after suffering a stroke. He was a widower. He was a retired farmer, and was never in the military. William Noble Craighead signed his death certificate.

      He spelled his name Craighead.

      There is some confusion about his name. On all census before 1920, his name is William N. Craghead. His marriage record shows the name William. His death certificate shows William. On the 1920 and 1930 census he is Claude. On his son's obituary he is Claude. William had a younger brother named Claude, who died in 1902. I have found no further records on this brother.

      William and Zella were together on all census, living with or next door to William Noble. In 1900, William Craghead was working on Willliam Noble's farm, and Zella Fewell was listed as the adopted daughter of the Nobles. William/Claude Craghead and Zella Fewell Craghead named their son who was born in 1920, William Noble Craghead. William and Zella are buried at Unity church. I have no idea why he changed his name, but everything I have found points to this conclusion.

      However, I could be totally wrong.
