|
| 4252 | A grave marker for Alvadore Stutler (1868-1930) was listed on the 18 June 1933 WPA reading of this cemetery, but it is no longer readable or is missing. A marker for him is found at the Masonic Cemetery at Crystal Lake, West Union. | STUTLER, Alvadore (I46288)
|
| 4253 | A grave marker for her is also located alongside her first husband's grave in Bel Air, MD, with her name Leevine Sweeney, her birth date 1923, and no death date. | STOUT, Leevine (I51539)
|
| 4254 | A grave marker for Nora Pauline Swisher (1914-1934) at Lewis County Memorial Gardens is presumably a cenotaph, as her death record indicates burial at Snider Cemetery. | MORGAN, Nora Pauline (I17042)
|

|
| 4256 | A handwritten letter was found by family members in a box of personal effects belonging to Okey Leeson's aunt, Nancy "Babe" Haught Brown, who was his late mother's sister. The envelope was addressed to Mrs. Babe Brown, West Union, West Virginia, U.S.A. Written in the envelope's upper left corner was the return address: "from Bug. Okey Leeson, Battery D, 314 F.a., American E.F." In the upper right corner, rather than postage was the handwritten notation "Soldiers Mail." The complete text of the letter follows, with minor corrections to spelling, grammar and capitalization for ease of understanding: "France, Aug. 4, 1918 Mrs. Babe Brown Dear Aunt, After a long time of delay, I will now answer your letter received back in the States. This leaves me feeling fine, am in good health and sincerely hope for this to find each of you well and enjoying life. Well, this is certainly a grand country with all its beauty, and my but there are lots of pretty girls here. But I have one back in the States awaiting on me, so I don't try to get acquainted with them here. This has been a nice bright sunshiny Sabbath, and I have written the most of the day. Has Chauncey Riddle returned back home yet? How is business around town? How is Brown's health? Is he as fat as ever? Tell him I am as I ever was, that Army life hasn't learnt me any bad habits yet and I expect to be the same as long as I live. Tell him hello for me and I hope to see him in the near future. How are the children? Well, Babe, don't wait too long to answer. So with love, best wishes to all, I will close. From Bugler Okey Leeson Battery D, 314 F a American Expeditionary Forces Via Port New York." | LEESON, Okey (I5561)

| 4257 | A handwritten list of the Lewis T. Davis' students in the year 1852 was signed by him in 1914 and placed in a frame. Many years later, it was donated to the Doddridge County Historical Society by Marsha Leggett, a distant cousin. | DAVIS, Lewis Townsend (I51750)
|
| 4258 | A headstone (flat marker) for Martha Trough is located at the Seventh Day Baptist Church Cemetery in Salem, with birth-death dates of 1833-1918. Although the 1833 birth date is consistent with census records, the 1918 death date is clearly incorrect. In the 1920 Census of Hamilton County, Ohio, she was listed as mother-in-law Martha Trough, 87, b. WVa, widowed, in the household of her married daughter Flora Smith and her family. Ohio death records show that she died in Gallia County on Feb 19 1924. | DAVISSON, Martha (I59005)
|
| 4259 | A headstone at Center Point Christian Church Cemetery for Lenna Swiger, 1903-1908, has been reported as being that of this Lena Monie Swiger, which is clearly not the case. Lena Monie Swiger appeared in the census with her family in 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940. Her Social Security Death Index, with birth date matching her birth record, shows her death date as Jun 25 1993, with last residence in Baltimore where some of her family members are known to have settled. No birth or death record identifiable with the Lenna Swiger buried at Center Point has been found. | SWIGER, Lena Monie (I103590)
|
| 4260 | A headstone at Keys Cemetery at Big Flint, Doddridge County, is for Lennie E. Smith (1898-1948) and his wife M. Alma Smith. The headstone has wife's birth year 1903, but no death date. This is because she is not buried at Keys Cemetery. Rather, she is entombed in a mausoleum in Weirton with her second husband, George A. Riley (1909-1988), with her name shown as Mary A. Riley. Her second husband's name and birth date also appear on a headstone in Harrisvile where his first wife Avis Hupp (1901-1950) is buried. | BAKER, Mary Alma (I51942)
|
| 4261 | A headstone at the Gaston-Hart Cemetery reads "Lucy M., wife of Jesse S. Gaston, born Jan 15 1868, d. May 1 1891." But a double headstone at the nearby Gaston Family Cemetery reads "GASTON - Jessie S., June 12 1860 - May 4 1943 --- Lucy Swiger, Jan 15 1858 - May 1 1891." According to their grandson, Samuel Hileman, Lucy's name was placed on the double headstone, despite the different burial location, simply to identify her as Jesse Smith Gaston's wife. Reasons for the variations in dates and name spelling are not known. | SWIGER, Lucy May (I284)
|
| 4262 | A headstone for Famie T. Smith is located at the South Fork Baptist Church Cemetery, near those of her parents and brother. It bears only her name and birth date. It is unclear as to whether she was actually buried there. Name listed in SSDI as Famie T. Smith, so she presumably never married. | SMITH, Famie T. (I29582)
|
| 4263 | A headstone shared by her, her husband (d. 1921), and their son Carroll (d. Feb 1924), has her birth date but no death date. Name on headstone: N. L. James. | RIPLEY, Nancy L. (I117541)
|
| 4264 | A highly respected employee at Dominion Transmission, he was honored in 2010 with the naming of the new E. L. Morgan Gas Measurement Training & Testing Center on Davisson Run Road in Clarksburg. | MORGAN, Edward Lee "Eddie" (I17689)
|
| 4265 | A land grant dated Sep 1 1856 of property in Doddridge County was in the names of "William Sandy, Jane Bell Sandy, Mary Sandy, James Sandy, Sarah Elizabeth Sandy, Melinda Sandy and John Sandy, only children and heirs at law of Vincent A. Sandy, dec'd." http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/F/15AP465BAL62R6LNARFCR238A3KN3VGJQ146UQG72GLGNJV3GI-13769?func=full-set-set&set_number=002839&set_entry=000043&format=999 | SANDY, Vincent A. (I60977)
|
| 4266 | A law suit captioned "Jesse S. Gaston, et al, vs. John M. Gaston, et al," filed in November 1911 in the Doddridge County Circuit Court, listed Blanche Richards, nee Blanche Strother, as a surviving child of the late Hannah Strother. | STROTHER, Blanche M. (I13981)
|
| 4267 | A letter to the editor, "West Union Record," Thursday, Feb 3 1916, quoted here in its entirety: INTERESTING LETTER IS RECEIVED FROM CALIFORNIA READER The following letter, which will be of considerable interest to many of the readers of the Record, was received last week from Edwin S. Gibson, who now lives at Covelo, California, but formerly a resident of Doddridge County. Editor of the West Union Record - Enclosed you will find two dollars for a continuance of the Record, of which I have been a subscriber almost continuously for over thirty years. I left West Virginia thirty years ago last March, and it was then when I first began to read the news of West Virginia through the columns of your paper. The news of old Doddridge has always been of interest to me, as I began life in Doddridge County at the age of nine years. At the time, I came with my parents from Lewis County to Indian Fork, where the whole country was in woods. We settled near where Avon now is, which was then in woods for miles in all directions. As we had moved from Lewis County, for a few years we bought our merchandise from J. J. Gibson, of Freemansburg, Lewis County, he being an uncle of mine and also as there was no store between our place and Freemansburg. It was a distance of about sixteen miles. In the course of a few years, Tom Highland opened a store at New Milton, which was a distance of six miles from our home in another direction. There was a blacksmith shop there too, as I remember having taken a horse to the shop to have him shod and having to wait by the hour, if someone else happened to be ahead of me, for the blacksmith to make the shoe nails to fasten the shoes on with, as they all had to do in those days. I was also the telephone in those days, and whenever my father wanted to send a message in to Lewis County or anywhere else, I would have to get on a horse, sometimes bare backed, and deliver the message. While this method was not so quick as you deliver a message today, it was just as sure. They had a grist mill at New Milton. I remember being there once during a presidential campaign. There was a man by the name of Abner Davis, Creed, Herman and Ed Davis' father, running the mill. There was a flag hoisted and Mr. Davis told some of the boys that were with me, that if when we got our grists and as we rode under the flag, we would hurrah for Grant and Colfax, he would give us a piece of pie. We did as he suggested and he gave us the pie, and I remember that it was mighty good, and I have voted the Republican ticket ever since. I was the regular mill boy, my brother Enoch, being older had to do harder work. In Missouri when they went to mill, they put their corn in one end of the sack and some rocks in the other end to balance it, but as we were a little smarter in West Virginia, we put the grist across the horse's back and balanced it with the grain. After the mill burned down at New Milton, I used to go to Jim Steel's mill near Smithton, regularly about every Friday, I would occasionally to to West Union to mill. I think that it was Robert McConnell who runs the mill there. I also went to an overshot mill on Sand Fork, also to a horse mill on Johnsons Fork, where they hitched a horse that went in a circle, grinding about three grains an hour. This is a sketch of how the people has to russel (sic) in the hills of West Virginia to get their corn ground. In those days we had only three months of school in a year. The first school I attended was on Indian Fork. It was in a round log cabin, with a chimney in one and provided with an old time fireplace. Whenever we had a fire in it, we had smoke, and lots of it, all through the house. Our seats were made of saplings with holes through them and sticks driven through them for legs. Coxs, Nicholsons, Dennisons and the McClain boys made up the school. I remember Ed Cox as being first choice in all the ball games. Six years later we moved down to Snake Run and at school time attended what was called the Snider school. Sniders, Meeks, Boyces, Pratts and Nute Coxes were those that attended this school. There I was classed with Mart Snider and his brother Fillmore. During all this time the school term was only three months. I had to be out at least half of the time, and at the age of sixteen I had to quit school altogether. I worked eight years for R. T. Lowens, those days it took at least thirteen hours to make a days work, for eight years I worked up and down from the M. I. [Middle Island] junction near Smithton to the head of Meathouse Fork. I knew everybody along the line, and everybody seemed to be a special friend of mine, and after leaving and coming west for many years, I have spent many lonesome hours. Almost all of this time I have read the Record. West Union was like the schools and most everything else when I left there thirty years ago; it was behind the times, it was regular shack of a town. Most all of the buildings were old shacks, and if there was anything like a bank there, I don't remember it. But when I dropped in there in 1907, I was amazed at West Union, so many of the old shacks were gone and brick buildings had sprung up in all directions and three banks, made it appear like quite a different town. The whole country was much changed. The country is cleared up and good buildings are most everywhere, and many people who could hardly make a living in my days they are in good circumstances. This I was glad to see, and now by wishing them all good luck and prosperity, I close. Yours truly, Ed Gibson | GIBSON, Edwin S. (I104704)

| 4287 | A miscellaneous document in Doddridge County Chancery Court records is proof that John Sommerville had a residence in present-day Doddridge County in 1818, then part of Harrison County. The document was a letter from plaintiff attorney Nathan Davis (a Doddridge County founding father) to defending attorney John Kennedy stating Davis's intention to take depositions from witnesses at the "dwelling house" of John Sommerville on Middle Island Creek. That description indicates the location as being at or near present-day Sherwood, Smithburg or Long Run in present-day Doddridge County. John Sommerville's primary residence at that time is thought to have been in or near Clarksburg, Harrison County, with a secondary residence as an inn or tavern stand in the community then known as Middle Island in present-day Doddridge County. The handwritten letter from Nathan Davis to John Kennedy is transcribed as follows: "Mr. John Kenedy, Take notice that on the 14th 15th 16th days of May 1818 at the dwelling house of Major John Sommerville on Middle Island Creek in Harrison County, I shall proceed to take the depositions of sundry witnesses to be read as evidence in the suit now depending in the Superior Court of Chancery at Clarksburg wherein I am complainant and you are defendant. -- 8th May 1818.
