| 22113 | Ritchie County Superintendent, 1980-1986; Middle School Principal, Pleasants County Schools, 1975; Elementary Principal, Pleasants County Schools, 1960; County Superintendent, Ritchie County Schools, 1950; Teacher, Ritchie County Schools, 1943; Retired School Administrator. City Council Member, Harrisville, 1950-1954. Beginning in Nov 1986, elected for nine consecutive terms as a Republican to the West Virginia House of Delegates for the 7th District, representing Ritchie and Pleasants Counties. He spent the majority of his life living in St. Marys, West Virginia and moved to Elkview with his wife later in life to be near family. Born the youngest son in a large family, he showed an early interest in education which would become a defining feature of his life and propel him to professional success. From travelling four miles to catch the bus to a one room school, to ultimately graduating from Glenville State College with a B.A. and West Virginia University with a Masters Degree, his journey in education was only beginning. He went on to teach in a one room school in Doddridge County, West Virginia. He also served as a teacher in schools in Ritchie, Wood and Pleasants counties. As his career progressed, he served as a principal at McFarland Elementary School, Pleasant Valley Elementary School, Park School and St. Marys Elementary School. Additionally, he served as the Superintendent of Schools for Ritchie County, ultimately retiring with his wife after forty two years of faithful service. The lives improved and strengthened by this career in education can only be imagined, but his popularity would become evident a short time after retirement. In 1986, Otis Leggett, sought a seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates from Pleasants County. He prevailed in that election and would go on to win every election until his retirement in 2006. Always a champion for his constituents, well respected by his peers, and valued for his vast experience in the field of education, he served with distinction, ultimately being awarded as a Distinguished West Virginian by Governor Joe Manchin in 2006. His proudest moment was the fight he led to preserve a rehabilitation center at Colin Anderson in Pleasants County by filibuster. He was a long time member of the St. Marys Methodist Church, dearly loved his farm The Summers Place in Doddridge County and enjoyed farming. He began a family tradition of fishing in Canada which spanned more than fifty consecutive years of his life, surrounded by his family. His family will always remember the quiet patience of the fisherman in Canada, the stories will live on. Otis Leggett will be remembered as a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. His life was a blessing to all who knew him. Well done, thy good and faithful servant.

A. Murphy's eye, for which he had gone to Baltimore to consult a specialist. Since his return, Mr. Murphy informs us that the reason an operation was not performed is that it was not considered necessary at this time." Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, September 7 1916, in its entirety: "R. A.

| 22133 | Robert W. Harper was a retired farmer, as well as a former employee of the B&O Railroad Company, Carbon Gas Company, and the "lampblack factory located near here years ago." Local news item, "West Union Record," Friday, Jun 15 1900, in its entirety: "Robert Harper, the faithful B & O track walker on the Smithton-Long Run section, was in town Saturday evening attending the Mason lodge. He has only missed one day from his work in the past year." An article on the front page of "The Doddridge County Republicen," Mar 8 1923, quoted in its entirety: "STILL IN SERIOUS CONDITION Robert Harper, who fell from the railroad bridge east of Smithton a few days since which resulted in a broken back and other very serious injuries, is still lying in a most critical condition in a Parkersburg hospital, with little hopes of his recovery. Mr. Harper was working on the bridge at the time of the accident and was knocked off with a swinging crane and fell quite a distance to the bed of the stream below." | HARPER, Robert W. (I16140)

| 22135 | Robert was a teen-ager when he arrived with his family in America from Ireland. He refused to become a Quaker, which led to his being disowned and disinherited by his father. His wife, Aquilla Reese, was a Quaker, and when she was married in a Presbyterian church, she was cast out by her family. Robert and Aquilla moved south to what is now Albemarle County, Virginia, then moved to Harrison County, Virginia (now W.Va.) in about 1785. | Family: Robert LOWTHER / Aquilla REESE (F12592)

| 22136 | Robert Williams' birthplace was England, possibly in Norwich, County Norfolk. He arrived in Boston with his wife Elizabeth and several children in 1637. By the end of that year, they had joined the neighboring settlement of Roxbury. Robert was made a freeman there on May 2nd of the following year. As a signer of the Petition to the Governor of the Colony, 1672, in censure of Harvard College, it is clear that Robert Williams was a staunch and typical Puritan, who refused to conform to the tenets of the Established Church of England during the intolerant reign of the first King Charles. It was for that reason that he left England for the Massachusetts Bay, where he could more freely exercise his rights of conscience and religion beliefs. Roxbury town records show that Robert Williams was one of the five townsmen or selectmen in 1647 and 1653. He took an active interest in the early founding of schools in Roxbury. Ellis' "History of the Town of Roxbury" refers to him as "one of the most influential men in town affairs." Farmer's "Genealogical Register of the First Settlers in New England" calls him "the common ancestor of the divines, civilians and warriors of the name who have honored the country of their birth." His Last Will and Testament is dated Nov 26 1685, and was probated on Sep 29 1693. He died in Roxbury on Sep 1 1693, age 100. | WILLIAMS, Robert (I73012)

The jaw members are pivoted together intermediate their ends and one end of each is pivotally connected one to the power cylinder opposite the free end of the piston and the other to the free end of the piston. A release valve provides instant return displacement of hydraulic medium via a by-pass communi-cation from the cylinder to the reservoir to relieve the acti-vating pressure on the cutter blade and restore it promptly to normal position. Interchangeable tool members are provided. https://books.google.com/books?id=5jXHvzCEdnAC&lpg=PA1768&ots=6RWyBBoOPu&dq=ronald%20keigley%20hydraulic%20tool&pg=PA1768#v=onepage&q=ronald%20keigley%20hydraulic%20tool&f=false | KEIGLEY, Ronald Eugene (I32944)
