Hello Charlette and Listers, I checked the Greenbrier Co. VA. Family Heritage 1997. There are three pages wih Houck family info in them. I only have p. 169. perhaps some of the other Greenbrier Researchers with the book, might be able to look at the other two pages for you, to see if any of it, might have any reference to your people. P. 169, gives information about Malvern Terrell and family, which includes Helen Frances Terrell who was b. in 1921. The family moved to Ronceverte, WV in 1917 to oversee the construction of a steam plant owned by Virginia Western Power Co. There is more about Mr. Terrell, and his wife Dorcas Eleanor Nora Edwards if anyone wants it. Helen Terrell married Marvin Russell Houck in 1930. He is referred to as Dr. Houck, who maintained a medical practice in the rural Cabin Creek area of Kanawha Co. and commuted to his home in Lewisburg on week-ends. He d. in 1984, at the age of 74. Helen was an artist and homemaker, and died at home ten years after her husband. Other names mentioned in the article are, Bivens, Bulia, Soule, Henry, Estill, Schmidt. Malvern Terrell was from Old Fort N.C. Dorcus and Malvern remained in Ronceverte until the power Co. closed in 1951. Then they moved to her home in Mars Hill, N.C. where they lived until their deaths, his in 1961, and hers in 1979. If anyone wants more of the article, let me know. No Ashby in this book.
