The CCCP has recently been updated. _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ccpp/pioneer/index.htm_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ccpp/pioneer/index.htm) It's hard to believe when we first started putting the Pioneer Project online that we had 30,000 identified individuals from Claiborne County. They now have OVER 98,000! We're approaching almost 200,000 website hits. Thanks to Denny and Marla Brubaker and their dedication to maintaining the ever changing database. And Thanks to Dusti (Eileen Myers) for updating and keeping the site running for us all. This update was incredibly difficult for Dusti, her house had just burned down and they lost everything they own except for one badly out of date laptop computer and I think some contents of her wallet were able to be salvaged. The laptop was a bit melted and slow but she managed to get the site updated for us anyways. I'm attaching the article about the fire for anyone interested in reading it. If you'd like to send your good wishes to Dusti (Eileen Myers) please contact me OFF LIST and I'll put you in contact with her. She could use some friendly words of encouragement. Family Homeless Child alerts family of 14 to burning Little Orleans home Jeff Alderton Cumberland Times-News LITTLE ORLEANS - A family of 14 was left homeless when an apparent accidental fire raged through its single-story residence at 11505 Price Road shortly before 6 a.m. Thursday. Two of the occupants suffered smoke inhalation and were taken to Memorial Hospital. Three vehicles were heavily damaged or destroyed in the 5:55 a.m. fire at the Dennis and Eileen Myers residence. The loss to the structure, contents and vehicles was estimated at $175,000, according to Orleans Volunteer Fire Capt. John Clingerman, who said the family had no insurance to cover the loss. Also left homeless were Richard and April Davis and their children, Evelyn, 7, Richard, 4, and Amy, 1. They resided in a two-bedroom apartment in the basement of the wood frame home. Richard is Myers' son. Kenneth and Dona Bishop, Myers' daughter, and their children, Kenneth Jr., 17; Alexander, 15; Aaron, 14; Hannah, 10; and Zachery, 9, were also displaced by the fire. Dona Bishop and April Davis were taken to Memorial Hospital where they were treated for smoke inhalation. Davis also was treated for a burn to her hand that she suffered while attempting to extinguish the fire. A 911 call from the residence where the fire occurred prompted alert of Orleans, Hancock, Flintstone, Clear Spring and Berkeley Springs, W.Va., volunteer fire companies. The Clarysville air truck also responded, as did Baltimore Pike Volunteer Fire Company, which stood by for Flintstone during the emergency. Flintstone and Hancock ambulance squads also responded. The fire was contained as of 7:23 a.m., according to a dispatcher at the Allegany County 911 Joint Communications Division. "When we arrived, three-fourths of the dwelling was engulfed in fire," said Clingerman, who directed the fire operation, which involved at least 30 firefighters. "We used a tanker shuttle, pumps froze up, firefighters were falling on the ice, but fortunately there were no injuries. The fire companies did a good job, like they always do, working together," said Clingerman. Firefighters were able to save a portion of the 12-by-60-foot mobile home with addition and some personal property, including a laptop computer and Eileen Myers' wallet, although it was scorched. The cause and origin of the fire are being investigated by the State Fire Marshal's Office, which said the blaze originated in a child's bedroom in the basement. Eileen Myers said one of the children discovered the fire in the basement apartment. "She found fire in her room and woke everybody up. She's our little hero," she said, noting that smoke alarms activated throughout the residence when the fire broke out. Myers said she went back into the home after the family evacuated to try to save the family pets. "I saved our three Welsh Corgis and our ferrets. We lost our pet cat and one ferret that was sick," she said. The American Red Cross responded to the scene to provide immediate assistance to the victims. "We lost everything. We have no insurance. We just went to the store yesterday. We lost two freezers and two refrigerators. My husband has leukemia and is on the list for a bone marrow transplant. He's on some new medicine but he's still on the list for a transplant. He's a patient at the Hershey (Pa.) Cancer Medical Center. "We have to find a place to live, with at least three bedrooms. We lost all our household furnishings, all our clothing, everything. It's tough to lose everything," said Eileen. "It's all gone, but fortunately we all got out."
