    Melvina, 38, married at age 17, born KY, parents KY
    Cleveland, 20, born KY - farm laborer
    Noah, 7, born KY

    Delphia, 1/12, born KY

NOTE: The ages of marriage on the census form are on wrong lines. Ben has no age, Melvina's says 17, and son Cleveland who is 20 was married at 23. It seems that the age 23 should be on Ben's line. Based on this assumption, they were married about 1905.

NOTE: I did not have Cleveland listed originally, but will add him.
