I am forwarding this by copying and pasting this. I believe this is valuable to all genealogy searchers whether living in this town or not. I hope all the administers will approve this and pass this on. Everyone should sign and save any part of history of our ancestors! Don't you agree? Thank you, Faith I know that you're all interested in some way or another with WV history and/or cemeteries in WV. A friend of ours from Charleston, WV brought this online petition to our attention where folks can voice their support for saving a Civil War battlefield and burial ground located in Fayetteville, WV in preference to building a retail complex on the site. We know that this is a "win-able" situation if as many as possible voice their opinions. In our own city, just a few months ago, a planned K-Mart was moved to a different location when local citizens discovered that the city's plans were to fill in one of the last remaining natural lakes within city limits in order to build the new shopping complex on top of it. With enough signatures they were able to get the cause placed on the ballot at the next election, and it won overwhelming favor from the community in favor of saving the lake and sending the developers to another part of town that was more acceptable to the city residents. Enough voices heard together can make quite a noticeable noise! To view the petition and make a choice whether or not to make your opinion heard (and you don't need to be a WV resident to take part), visit http://www.PetitionOnline.com/faybat04/petition.html Thanks for taking the time to read this, Donna Duprey
