Eustace.3. Ernest Arbogast (1.John1)Notes:

4. Ray Arbogast (1.John1)Notes:
Obit of Archie, White Sulphur Sprs, WV, 1938. Obit of father, 1937, name is
Ray, lived at Richwood, or is Ray a broter of Roy?
From Ronda Arbogast:
I believe it's Ray Arbogast my grandfather. It's unclear in the 1910 census, it could be Roy or Ray however I believe this to be my grandfather but it's difficult to confirm due to the errors made in the 1940 census. The 1940 census has my father's family, it lists my great grandmother, and then grandmother twice, once as wilma the daughter of Elizabeth Stalnaker (a female) then again as Wilma Arbogast (male) the son-in-law of Elizabeth Stalnaker. I believe the male Wilma Arbogast is Ray. The 1940 census includes both my uncle, Ray Allen Arbogast and my father Ronald (actually Ronal) Arbogast. I think the 1910 census helps support this as Ray's (Roy)age in 1910 as 7, then 30 years later during the 1940 census the person listed as the son-in-law is 37.5. Odie Arbogast (1.John1)Notes:
