Hi Sherry.... I tried using the "Mapquest" website before I sent my posting to the list. This usually works for me but in this case all I got was the location of Dunbar, Kanawha County... a place that I already know the location of. I thought that the address would still be current since it was referenced in an 1927 obituary. Perhaps Industrial Street has been obliterated in an urban renewal project or something of the like. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
