Wesley Sanford (1938)

Wesley Howard Sanford (1863-1938) obituary in the The Jersey Journal on April 23, 1938. Wesley Howard Sanford (1863-1938) appears living in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey in the 1905 New Jersey census and all subsequent censuses. This would be a minimum of 33 years of residency, not the 14 years of residency reported in the news article. In the 1875 New York census he is living in Kingston, Ulster County, New York. He has not been found in the 1880 or 1900 censuses yet, so he may have lived in Jersey City even earlier.
