What the source supports

That Mrs. William Licklider was named in 1923 as a daughter of John W. Boyd of Rocks Ferry.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. She is known here only from her father's obituary, which gives her only by her husband's name. The place "of Clarke county" follows her name directly. Her father has no record here, so no kinship record is made.
