I was born in Rowlesburg, WV and lived with my mother and father till I was in 7th grade. My parents moved to Tunnelton and I wanted to stay in Rowlsburg to graduate with my friends. I moved in with Alfred and Martha Braithwood and lived with them till I graduated in 1955. At that time I went to the Washington, DC Area where I remained till the time I retired in March 2001. We moved to Terra Alta, WV in April 2001. Alfred and Martha had 4 little Braithwoods; Margaret (Wotring), my mother Martha Lorraine (Sheets), James Braithwood, and Charlotte (Sypolt). All of them have passed away.
