I have not been back to Huntington in years. I am going in four weeks. Would anyone have the address for the Herald and the library? I want to go to both while there and look up the newspaper articles for the Silver Bridge. Thanks EVERYONE for all you responses and help. I know you have heard this hundreds of times in emails, but everyone does appreciate all the hard work that has been put in and the responses. It helps those who are so far away. Again, thanks! Cassandra

I also have a question about old newspapers.........but I can't go to the library in Huntington........ About 1977, a Doris C. Miller was writing genealogical articles called "Treesearching" in the Press Observer. Does anyone know if that newspaper is online with copies of those articles? Thank you. Helen in Florida...waiting for Tropical Depression # 1

Cabell Co. library has files back next to the copiers in research room. About the Silver Bridge Collapse could be in there. I have seen alot of files on Huntington in them.Linda

Hey just thought of something else. I live in Florida too and have contacted the Cabell Library a couple of times and they have helped me with things. You might want to try that place also. Let me know how it goes. Pat in Hillsborough

I was working at the Herald Dispatch during the time that the bridge collapsed. I know that that newspaper in Huntington is still there and they would have the articles in their archives. I just also put in Silver Bridge Collapse in GOOGLE.COM and came up with several articles. Have you given that a try? Pat

I wanted to know if anyone has access to an old newspaper from when the silver bridge collapsed on December 15,1967. I am looking for an interview with William Murphy or Gene Murphy. I heard that someone on Rt 2 has it hanging in a store. Not sure what newspaper ran the article. Cassandra Florida

Hi Pat, I can't help with the Holton family, but I do know that across the Ohio River in Gallia County, Ohio, there was a newspaper that was active then. Perhaps there might be a newspaper article about the murder. In my experience with the old newspapers, there was frequently news about neighboring counties, and Cabell County would have been considered a neighboring county. That little old river didn't cause anyone to think of Cabell County as far away. I wouldn't know how to narrow down the search (1840 - 1844) through the newspapers, but if you had the time, you could potentially search through them yourself on microfilm. You could potentially request this microfilm through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) from the Ohio Historical Society (OHS). I have done this many times myself, and it works great. I can give you more details if you're interested. - Jean Griesan Colorado -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 7:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WVCABELL] Early Cabell Holton Family Hello, I am hoping that someone who has some Cabell material can do some checking for me please? I am trying to trace down the Holton familiy sometimes it was Holten and sometimes even Holt. There was a Nathaniel Holton who was murdered apparently after 1840 and before 1844. I would like to know what happened to him if possible. He married Saarah Pierson on April 29, 1841 in Cabell and the same day Belinda Holton married William Pierson I am wondering if these were brother and sister. I have the Fee book for Cabell County. There are several mentions in the book of money being paid to take care of Rebecca Holten. They seem to begin in about 1846 and continue through 1861. But I cannot find a Rebecca Holten on the Census. I am hoping someone can help me with these families. I have The Fee Book for Cabell and also the Will Book and Deed Book so have information from those but this family seems very hard to keep track of or find out about. They also married into the Braggs. Thanks so much hope someone else out there is also researching this family and can shed some light on these people.

I have a Vera Maude Rose married to Charles Wesley Floyd born 10/29/1891 Cabell Co., WV. died 11/11/1973 d/o Lewis and Elizabeth Templeton Rose. Linda

Hello Patrick, !860 Cabell County Annotated Census page 127 , has Louis (sp) Midkiff, 52yrs., as son of Heramham Midkiff and Epha (Dalton) Midkiff (mispelled name of Abraham and "Ipha" (Dalton") Midkiff). Page 145, has Spencer Midkiff, 50yrs., as son of Abraham and "Ipha" (Dalton) Midkiff. Barbara.

Hi Charlie, No, I have never heard of the name Vera Rose. County boundaries changed so much --- I am surprised we find half of our ancestors. My Rose family would have lived out in the country maybe on Twelve Pole Creek and would have been included in Wayne Co. VA/WV when it was formed about 1840 from Cabell Co. By 1850, Joseph Rose was listed in the 1850 Tazewell Co. VA Census at the end of household of his son Andrew Rose. In 1850 they were actually living in area of Tug River in McDowell Co. WV which was formed in 1858 from Tazewell Co. VA. I have searched the existing records at Charleston Archives and Library but it seems that no records exist for Wayne Co. VA before 1853. Thanks, Doug
