Recently I have been working thru the typed memoirs of my GreatGrandmother Elizabeth Via Gochenour and came upon the following references to Koiners which might be of interest. "A stave mill moved into the Hollow [Sugar Hollow along Moormans River Albemarle County VA in the 1890s], bringing young men and married men with their wives....The stave mill brought many changes to the Hollow. So many people moved in that we needed a store. Plaine and Koiner put up a big store with living quarters upstairs. They sold most everything you could call for....Plaine and Koiner had a farm 5 miles north of Roanoke, and they asked Luther [Gochenour] to go out there and take it over [about Summer 1900]....We had a great big farmhouse with eight rooms....We had lovely neighbors: the Thrashers, the Carneys, the Woods and the Paces....Luther got only $20 a month in cash, but we could have all the garden we wanted and we almost always had a cow....In December 1902 we packed up and moved."
