Sharon, I'm sure Diana appreciates your kind words about the newsletter. She has been a very busy person. Besides having two active sons at home her mother is sick and in a Nursing Home. If anyone has any old newspaper clippings that they would like to have included in the newsletter please send them to Diana at wvhb1@hotmail.com I'm sure she would appreciate any and all help she can get. How about the two members in Alaska letting me know when they get their newsletters. Just curious about how long it takes them to get there. Thanks, Ruby

Just wanted to say "Nice job!" on the newsletter, you all. I just got mine here in the greater Cleveland area. An enjoyable read. I appreciate the time it takes to put these together. Thanks! <Sharon><

My Great Grandmother, Mary Ann Elder( 1847-1938) married James Radabaugh(1848-1890). They had two children Icie M. ( married Carl Binns -Fairmont) and Okie. Okie married Rosie ???? and livid in Shinnston. Went back to that area many years ago with my Father , who showed me among other things the house in Shinnston where his Uncle Okie lived. All I remember is it had the name RADABAUGH in the stone on the front of the house. Does anyone know where in Shinnston the house is, and is it still standing? What originated all these questions is conversation with brother, asking about the origin of the name Okie. Do know Icie is a W.Va. name, ran across it a few times, but never an Okie. Anyone have an answer? Could it be a family name? Thanks, Jean Smith

Jim, why go to Canada? One of my sons, from Hilliard, Ohio and 7 friends from other places, go for a week every year, to WV to fish. This year they went to Richwood and fished in the Cranberry and Cherry rivers. -----Original Message----- From: BUCKYK3LIE@aol.com <BUCKYK3LIE@aol.com> To: HCGS-L@rootsweb.com <HCGS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 6:38 PM Subject: Re: [HCGS] *Tues@library - Dau of the Elm* >Hi ALL, I talked with Ross this morning and he was getting ready to visit >Clarksburg.

Hi ALL, I talked with Ross this morning and he was getting ready to visit Clarksburg. I ordered the tapes and CD's he has advertised. I wanted to know if they were in stock to ship. I am leaving for a long drive, 15 hours to Canada for my annual Fly In Fishing Trip. Be a good way to pass time in car. I will be leaving June 20th and returning the 30th. No Electric, No Running Water, No Email, No Women. Just 6 guys in the wilderness, they fly us in, drop us off and come back in 7 days to pick us up. This should be my 23rd year of GREAT FISHING. Love U All, Jim COTTRILL

Just wanted to remind those interested in "Daughter of the Elm" - Ross Ballard II will be at the Clarksburg library tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday, June 11) with audiobooks. The location was changed from the Waldomore to the Main Library 2nd floor due to the heat. <Sharon><

Hi I would like a copy of Daughter of the Elm. I saved Ross Ballard's address from a previous mailing. Does anyone know how much the video costs? Could I send a check to the Harrison County Library and have a copy mailed? I couldn't get the tape at the local Barnes and Nobel in central Pa. Thanks, Jean Smith

Hi, Sharon has made the CD of "Daughter of the Elm" sound like a must-have for anyone interested in Harrison Co. lore. I live in Alaska so I won't be able to make the party on the 11th. Does anyone know how folks like me could order the new CD of "Daughter of the Elm"? I checked this website (http://newrivergorge.com) but was unable to get into its links. Sheryl in Sitka

Once again we had a good turnout for the meeting with 16 members present. We voted to buy the two books on the John Pierce Duvall family which is being written by Diane Dieterle of Salt Lake City, UT. She has been in this area twice collecting and documenting information on the Duvall family and Bob and I met her both times. Darrell had information on the RICHMOND, VA trip which is to be September 17th-19th. Instead of taking a bus there will be two vans going and they can handle about 26 people. The cost per person will be $90.00 and that includes transportation and lodging, 2 nights. If you are interested in going or have told Darrell that you were going please contact him again so he can start his list over as some of the ones that signed up thought they were going by bus. His e-mail address is dew38@msn.com As of right now he is in contact with Super 8 Motel, but that could change. Darrell also had information on a Micro Film reader. We voted to buy a reconditioned one with the same guarantee as a new one, but if it is not available at this time, we will buy the new one. The reconditioned one will be around $750.00 and a new one $1950.00, plus S&H. We want to thank Barbara Hamilton and Dottie Riffle for getting the obits up to date. They did the year 2001 besides what was in two notebooks for 1983 and 1984 and have the 2002 caught up to date. Dottie also put the spirals on the Clark District Cemetery books which was desperately needed and we really do appreciate that. Every little bit helps to make an organiztion run smoothly. The annual picnic has been confirmed as being on Tuesday, August 13th at Lake Floyd which is on RT 50 West of Clarksburg. We meet around 5:00 P.M. and eat at 5:30 P.M. It is a covered dish affair with the society furnishing the hotdogs and hamburgers. Patricia Dennison mentioned a workshop and it was discussed with her being named as the chairperson. We would like to have it sometime in October since the Richmond trip is in September. If anyone has any ideas for classes or speakers, please get in touch with Patricia. Her e-mail address is triciad20@cs.com It was also discussed that we might hold it somewhere else other than the Waldomore and invite other groups to set up tables to sell their books. Dr. Gordon mentioned the shape that the Odd Fellows Cemetery on Chestnut Street is in and how many monuments have been thrown over. It needs to be restored to help beautify the city of Clarksburg. My thoughts, it would be nice if there was a committee gotten together and set a work day for the men and women of Clarksburg and the surrounding areas to work on a Saturday or a designated day to help clean up this cemetery. The date of the July meeting has been changed to July 12th since the first Friday is the 5th and so close to the 4th of July. John Hines gave the society more CD's to work with Family Tree Maker and also "Virginia Militia in the Revolution" and "Virginia Wills 1632-1800." Thanks John. There is a lot of work being done around the Waldomore and I'm sure when they get done it will look a lot better and be a more secure building. We want to see this beautiful old building preserved. Ruby Casto Membership Chairman of HCGS

Just a reminder of the regular meeting of the Harrison County Genealogical Society, Clarksburg, WV, at the Waldomore, tomorrow, Friday, June 7th at 10:00 A.M. Ruby Casto Membership Chairman

This is urgent, we need to get this conspiracy stopped! Have you ever noticed that when you're of a certain age, everything seems uphill from where you are? Stairs are steeper. Groceries are heavier. And everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become! And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message. They think I am a lip reader? I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me. I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own refection... Well, REALLY, NOW... even mirrors are not made the way they used to be! Another thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking life and limb if you just happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror. Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? Just who do these people think they're fooling? I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but.... the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in here! All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon "everyone" will have to suffer these awful indignities. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED A Little Humor every once in a while helps.

I'm sure he will have a stack of them.

Thank you for this. How exciting. Can we purchase the book at the Library? Sherry
