Looking for an obituary or any information on Charles Franklin Meadows, born September 5, 1895 in Summers County, WV; died November 1975 in Richmond.

I am trying to determine if his father George Meadows was a son of Madison and Mary Ann Garten Meadows.

Any help appreciated.

Did some digging. Found in charles WW1 draft. reg. he was bornin Hinton WV. this is also found in his WW2 draft.
In the WW2 draft it shows him living in Norfolk Va, with nearest relative bring Blanche Meadows of Fredericksburg Va

In the 1900 WVA census shows Charles with family.

Thank you. I am trying to determine if George was a son of Madison C. Meadows and Mary Ann Garten Meadows (if the Mary A. in the 1900 census is Mary Ann Garten Meadows). The marriage record for George and his second wife Bertie Keatley lists the parents of George as M.C. and MAA. Meadows.

Madison C. Meadows left Summers County, WV, where Hinton is located, and moved to Virginia and later Mt. Airy, NC. He was married a second time. The 1900 census says that the Mary in the household of George was a widow but I believe that to be incorrect (unless she married a second time after her marriage to Madison).

I have located George and Charles in Alleghany County, VA in the 1910 and 1920 census' but not in the 1930 census. I am looking for any information that will tie Charles, and George, to Madison and Mary Ann Meadows.

Thanks again for your help.
Arley
