Son of Robert Marsh and Frances V. Griffith Gifford
He married Nannie Mills on 10 July 1904 in Harrison County, West Virginia. Nannie was a daughter of W.C. and Mary Mills. I have not been able to locate a death certificate for her. I have found that George and her are not living together in the 1940 census. I have included hers after his on this memorial. They are both still listed as married, it seems that George my have been away from home and Nannie stayed during the time that the census was taken. I'm unsure at this time.
Mr. Gifford was a coffin maker.
