Carrie, I'm not sure this is the same family, but I believe it may be. Maybe your grandfather was incorrect about Alma's marriage. Am hoping these are yours. In my files I have an Alma C. MORRIS, b. 10 Aug 1886, Coal Valley, Fayette Co., VA. She married Alva Hill O'DELL on 22 Oct 1913 in Fayette Co., WV. I have her parents listed as Charles B. MORRIS & Georgia A. _____.

She died September 14, 1967, in Huntington, WV. She married Erie Gabriel HATCHER of Odd, WV, around 1912 (most likely in Montgomery, but I am not sure). He was a railroad man in Huntington. I do not know anything about her parents or anything like that. She had 2 sisters that my grandfather remembers, Alma MORRIS, who married Woodrow O'DELL, >>

Hello, all, I wanted to add for those not familiar with Fayette Co. history: Coal Vally is an old name for Montgomery. It also has been known by Montgomery's Landing and Cannelton (there is still a community called Cannelton across the river).
