I am researching the family of William J. Miller and wife Ruth Ann Rice who were living in Kanawha Co. in 1860, 1870 and 1880 (US census). My interest is actually in the wife, Ruth Ann, who was the daughter of Marietta Amsbary and Daniel Rice. Ruth was born about 1834 probably in the Mason Co., VA (then) area. On the 1880 US Census they were living in Jefferson, Kanawha Co. and are shown with the following children: Dan D., John, Edward, Albert, Mary E., Nettie, Bertha, Frank, Philip and Lucien. Does anybody know anything further about this family and their descendants? I am eager to learn when Ruth Ann, husband and children died and where buried. Any information is appreciated.

Looking for information about John Arthur born about 1784 and his wife Elizabeth and James Arthur who married Maria or Mariah Sandridge in about 1867 I believe Maria died and he remarried Elizabeth or Betty Mills, Any information about these people would sure be appreciated. Thanks PJ

It sounds like you are talking about a schoolteacher of mine. I ran into her about a year ago-she is alive and well and very active in the DAR. Linda

Terry W. Johnson, <[email protected]>; 4 Jul 2001 Terry: I think you are referring to Virginia B. Johnson, the dau. of the late William S. "Pistol Bill" and Erna Young Johnson (1881-1974), late of Charleston, WV. William S. Johnson was a WV State Treasurer. I don't know about their dau., Virginia, but I suspect she is deceased by now. I believe I last heard from her shortly after her mother's death. She was not married and last lived in Charleston. As I recall, she was a school teacher in Charleston - as was her mother for a period until 1917. Jim W.

thanks to all who have given me ideas and suggestions on getting an obit and other info for the Bevel family i am working on. you WV researchers are the greatest!! Happy 4th to all Marilyn in Duluth MN

I will be visiting Kanawha County in August. The time period I am interested in is 1850-1900. Are Court Records easy to access? Any suggestion welcome.

My family and I will be in the Charleston area in the next few days and would like to visit some cemeteries. Could someone give me directions or addresses for the old Hall cemetery on Davis Creek? Also, is there a Dotson cemetery in Kanawha county or a neighboring county? Also, does anyone know the whereabouts of Graceland Memorial Park? Thanks so much!

I don't know about Clendenin specifically, but I know the Kanawha Public Library has several newspapers on microfilm from about 1920. Here's their email address: REFERENCE_CHARLESTON/[email protected] You could email them directly and ask if they have any Clendenin newspapers (if there are any). Or if the Charleston newspapers have the Clendenin obituaries in them.

I'm trying to find information about a Virginia Johnson, daughter of William Johnson and Emma Young. I believe she was a teacher in Kanawha county, probably in the 1940/1960's. William was my Great Uncle. Virginia would have been born about 1920-1930. William was a State Senator of West Va. arount the turn of the Century.

On my day off today, I hit a couple of antique shops & then visited an old cemetery called the Stonewall Cemetery in Fairfield County, Ohio. It dates from 1817 & there are only 8 people of the Wilson surname interred there. It is beautiful & a resting place worthy of one of the pioneer families of the area. It gets its unique name because of the 7-8 foot circular stone wall surrounding it. You can only see into the cemetery through a small gate. Today it was locked. As I looked inside, I became nauseous. Every stone, every marker, every monument had been broken into small pieces -- the apparent work of vandals. Worse than the dreaded genealogical brick wall is the vandalized tombstone. I used to think that a cemetery's worst enemies were rain, wind, age & overgrowth. I now know that these don't compare to the apathetic, willful & malicious destruction of family history that I witnessed today. If I am ever called to serve on a jury dealing with a case of cemetery vandalism, the defendant better hope that I am disqualified or that I don't remember what I saw on this day. I may vote for the electric chair. Sincerely, Mike Peters [email protected]

what would be a good source for obits? looking for Bill or William Bevel died July 39 1972 in Spencer WV but buried in Clendenin. is there a newspaper in Clendenin? thanks marilyn deloach elliott duluth mn
