Hi Sharon, Here we go again--another common ancestor. If you find out anything about the family of James Reed Anderson, please let me know. He is buried in the Elkview Cemetery on Chestnut St and is my husbands great grandfather. I don't know too much about him but maybe we could share some information. James Reed's father was Thomas Anderson from (I think) Maryland.

Sharon, Are you also related to the WEST family? I am wondering which West family might be in this book. I am descended from Thomas West, son of James West who lived on White Day Creek, Marion Co.

When I sent my notes last night on the Christmas party there was one most important gift that I forgot to tell you about. Eva Newlon and I worked for Imperial Ice Cream, Div. of Fairmont Foods, back in the early 1950's. Some time ago we were talking about that and she said she had gotten some old milk bottles from that company. I never thought anymore about it but when she came to the party yesterday she handed me a gift bag and said it was for me. I sat it on the floor and didn't open it at that time and later on, she said for me to look to see what was in that bag. She had brought me one of those Imperial quart milk bottles and I certainly do thank her for it. Sometimes we get surprises that we think will never happen. Thanks Eva. Ruby
Oh no. I will never look at glue or an envelope the same again.

The WVHCGS Web Site is up to date with pictures and Notes from the Christmas Dinner. Merry Christmas Dick http://www.wvhcgs.com
The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their annual Christmas dinner at the Parkette Restaurant with 18 persons in attendance. I have already told Diana how much I appreciated all of the extra effort she went to. to make this dinner a very special one. She got us all reindeer horns, Santa Claus hats, or elves hats and everyone looked cute in their headgear. When Diana wore hers, we wore ours and when she took hers off, we had to do the same. Bertha helped Diana so we want to thank her also. She had several jars of candy for us to guess how many pieces were in each jar. Roger sure had a knack for doing that. She had a large stocking with 17 items in it that pertained to Christmas and my granddaughter had 9 of the 17 items in the stocking. We had no idea what was in that stocking, just something about Christmas. When we exchanged gifts she read a new way of doing it. We all got what we brought to start out with and the bag she had at each place setting had a number on it and when she read about that number, we were to do what it said. That was neat. Those in attendance were John Jones, Bertha Webb, Betty Waugh, ???? Dennison, Betty Rinehart, Diana Johnson, Polly Dennison, Patricia Dennison, Ted Wolfe, (president) June Conrad, Judy Nicholson, Bobbi Jean Tidd, Jeff Tidd, Ruby Casto, Bobby Casto, Eva Newlon, Roger House and Susan House. Dick has the picture up on the webpage and Diana took separate pictures so she will probably send them to Dick and he can use them also. Ruby

WVU Football I thought I might be suffering football withdrawal today. I switched on ESPN and it said they were showing the first of 33 bowl games today. Then the next interview was with former WVU coach Rich Rod. Whatever you think about his loyalty, he was a good coach. Let’s hope the new WVU coaches can recruit more winning teams like the talent we enjoyed this past season. Except for some unfortunate injuries, this was arguably the best WVU football team ever. We will get to see them one more time on 12/29 as they play Syracuse For more detail see: http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa-12/big-east/2012-west-virginia-mountaineers-football-schedule.php WVU basketball is playing No. 3 Michigan tonight.

I am responding to this because of an advertisement on the side of this message offering an insurance policy for $500,000. In case our members do not know this: NEVER BUY A POLICY from anyone who cannot do business in New York as NY has the highest standards in the nation. I learned this from my father-in-law who sold insurance.

This is the reminder of our annual Christmas Dinner. It will be tomorrow, Saturday, December 15th at 2:00 P.M. at the Parkette Restaurant. Hope to see you there. Even if you were not sure you could come and didn't let us know, please come and join us. Looks like the weather is going to co-operate. Feel welcome to bring someone with you, like we say the more the merrier. Diana has planned for 30 with her entertainment. Ruby

We live in Tx and we lease our mineral rights to gas drillers. They came to our neighborhoods and offered everyone money. We signed for a 3 year lease deal. Wells were put up and some produced and some did not and were capped. They send checks every few months...not much money. They paid us to sign with them and it went by how much land we had. We live in the suburbs so we don't have alot of land. Hope this helps you. It is different in every state. I would contact neighbors in the area and see what they say.
