Ransom Church; born on 10 Oct 1882; died on 17 may 1917; buried in Lusk
Cemetery, Wyoming Co, WV.
Do not believe Ransom and Allen were same person; since Allen Belcher was
at age 21 (indicates he was a son of John and Charlotte Lusk Belcher) and
Ransom Church's grave stone indicates he was a son of Joseph and Charlotte
Lusk Church.
