    • A local news item in the West Union Herald of Thursday, June 11 1914, quoted in its entirety:
      "Tom B. Grant, a well known oil well driller, received some serious injuries about the head recently by being thrown from a buggy when the horses became frightened and ran away."

      News article, "West Union Record," Thursday, Jan 13 1916, in its entirety:
      SMALL BLAZE DOES CONSIDERABLE DAMAGES AT T. B. GRANT'S RESIDENCE
      Last Friday morning the residence of T. B. Grant in Block House Hill addition came near burning when Thomas, the little two-year-old son, carried a burning stick into the bedroom and set fire to the window curtains and bed clothing. The fire got a pretty good start, but quick work extinguished it without much loss."

      Notice in "West Union Herald," Thursday, April 13 1916, in its entirety, first the notice as reprinted from the Tyler Star, then the editorial comment by the Herald:
      INFORMATION WANTED
      Some sixteen years ago at Alvy, Charles Sackett was married to a widow, Mrs. Weekley by name, with one daughter Cordelia. Mr. Sackett was killed in Panama in 1914 and left an estate which is due his widow, if she can be found. Any information as to her daughter will be gladly received.
      Address: R. A. Williamson, Federal, W.Va. --- Tyler Star.
      The above named Charles Sackett formerly made his headquarters in West Union, while drilling in the Stout and McElroy fields, and was well known here. He worked in the oil fields with T. B. Grant and Dick Platt, who were well acquainted with him. He went from here to Oklahoma.
