The Harrison County Genealogical Society Web Site has been updated with: Ruby's notes from the meeting Ruby's notes from the picnic Pictures of the meeting and picnic are up on the site....Just below the picture of Waldo more...click on Picnic link and also a link can be found in Ruby's notes We had a great time at the picnic... All the best, Dick Web Master http://www.wvhcgs.com

The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their annual picnic right after our meeting today and we all found our way to Diana Johnson's house. There were 21 in attendance and we want to thank, Diana, Bertha Webb and Diana's son Manny for preparing most of the food. It was a very beautiful day and without the high humidity that we have been having. Betty Waugh prayed the grace before we ate. If anyone went away hungry it was not because there was not enough food. We had hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, baked beans, brownies, cheese cake pie, chips and dip and drinks. I think everyone enjoyed themselves very much and we appreciate each one that attended. Of course Dick took pictures for the web page. Those attending were: Ruby Casto, David Houchin, Patricia Dennison, Diana Johnson, French Earl Johnson, Joann Sandy, Betty Rinehart, Darla Everley, Ray Everley, John Hines, Samantha Hines, Ted Wolfe, Nancy Rohrer, John Rohrer, Jacob Rohrer, Richard Bailey, Betty Waugh, Betty Williams, Retta West, Bertha Webb and Dick Wilt. I don't think I missed anyone. The next annual function will be our Christmas dinner. Ruby

The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this date with 21 persons in attendance. We had Floridians with us today, French Earl Johnson and Betty Williams. Karah Swiger is the other student receiving the scholarship and she was at the meeting along with her mother Joyce Swiger. Betty Williams told us how she missed coming to her one meeting last year due to breaking her shoulder and that she was proud to be a member of our group and for us all to keep up the good work. She enjoys reading the newsletter. Mr. Boggess from Florida put all of the graves in the Point Pleasant Cemetery on Find A Grave and made a book out of it and donated one to the society. Gary G. West donated an old family Bible to the society that had belonged to the Eli J. West family from Duck Creek. Dick Wilt said he still needs stories for the webpage and Diana can also use information for the newsletter. The trip to DC was discussed. It will be October 5th and the cost will be $40.00 as the cost of getting the bus has gone up this year. A deposit has to be made by the September meeting, so if you are planning on going we need to know right away so we can confirm that enough will be going. The bus will leave from the parking lot behind the library at 5:00 a.m. You also will have to pay for parking your car for the day as we can not take up all of the library's parking spots. It is something like $2.00. We also have a member that will need to be picked up in Morgantown. A stop for breakfast will be somewhere around Frostburg, Maryland. The bus will stop at the DAR and the National Archives. It will be your responsibility to get back to the Archives from wherever you are dropped off or if you plan on just going sightseeing. Everyone needs to be back at the Archives before 5:00 P.M. for the return trip back to Clarksburg. A stop for dinner will be made somewhere in Maryland on the way back. The approximate time of getting back to Clarksburg is around 1:00 A.M. We did not discuss if we were going to keep the bus to do other sightseeing. It will be discussed more thoroughly at the September meeting. We all went to Diana Johnson's for the annual picnic. The September meeting will be on 11th as the first Saturday in September is the Italian Festival in Clarksburg along with Labor Day weekend. Ruby

Ruby I had every thought about coming to day but we had a terriable wind and rain storm and a branch hit my house roof and a man is coming to fix it and that means I must stay here eat a hot dog for me ok and enjoy sorry Diana glad I mailed you the genealogy papers.

The Stonewall United Methodist Church in Stonewood has 851 pieces of pottery and a lot of it is McNicol. Most local members will know about McNicol Pottery. We would like to sell this pottery but we would not be able to pay for shipping cost. If anyone has an interest in it, please let me know. Thanks, Ruby

The Harrison County Genealogical Society sends our deepest sympathy to our member Charlotte Fleming who's husband Dick died this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlotte and her family. Ruby

Just another reminder of the meeting tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M. on the second floor of the Waldomore. If you are going to the picnic you might want to bring along a folding chair or two. If you would like to help Diana in anyway to get ready for the picnic I'm sure she would appreciate the help. [email protected] I know how hard it is for one person to think of everything. Thanks, Ruby

Ruby, Marjorie and I will be in NC baby-sitting this week end. I hope the picnic is a great success.

Dave, I plan on going on this DC trip in Oct 5th,2010 Esther -----Original Message----- From: David Houchin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, Jul 31, 2010 5:49 pm Subject: Re: [HCGS] DC Trip Linda, John, listers all... e can't do a two-day trip without quite a bit of planning, and for this year's rip it's too late to change the design. As for the cost, I'd like to keep it ow, but without making the society take too bit a hit. And frankly, it would e nice to break even. f we had 40 riders at $40 dollars each we would pay for the bus and have a ittle left over for parking fees. At the other end of the the scale, if we had 0 riders at $30 each the society would be subsidizing the trip to the tune of ore than $600--and at that point someone would surely object. ut the best way to have a low price is to fill up the bus. It seats 47. If we an get that many commitments (or nearly) we can lower the price to $35 and the rip will still pay for itself. If we fall a little short, the subsidy will till be small and no one would object. So let's put some names on a list. avid H. -- On Sat, 7/31/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: rom: [email protected] <[email protected]> ubject: Re: [HCGS] DC Trip o: [email protected] ate: Saturday, July 31, 2010, 2:37 PM ust thinking: A tour of D.

A 25% increase would bring it to $37.50. If we rounded this up to $40, do you think people would be deterred? The society has always been willing to take a hit on the cost of the rip, but these things are hard to predict.
