The mine was located about two miles north of Chapmanville, WV. The mine payroll was sent by rail from the bank to Kitchen,WV.The payroll clerk got the money off the train, and caught the next train downriver to Huntington,leaving the co. without any money to operate on. The mine closed, and the clerk was never found, nor the money. Shelby B. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Anita, Could I get a copy of the pic? I'd like to show it to my dad. I vaguely remember that house from my first trip to WV when I was 3 or 4 (I mainly recall getting in trouble for letting a jarful of fireflies loose in the house, and sitting on the porch watching grandpa roll cigarettes and wondering if a dog bit off the missing part of his right ear.

Laurel, Nice to hear from you and yes, that is the one that I am referring to. Anita </HTML>

Cuz Anita; I was once inside the log home of cousin Bob and his wife Caroline (Hill) Lowe.I was real young, and was very much impressed with people still living in an older log home.It was like going backwards in a time machine. The puncheon floors was the most unique experience. They preferred to live that way over modern ways. Bob followed the blacksmith trade, and was away a lot of the time. His father, grandfather were also blacksmiths. This trade became extinct with the coming of the auto age. Shelby ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Shelby, My great aunt and uncle lived in an old log home at Holden #27 near Delbarton. The home and property belonged to my great granny, Catherine Elizabeth Sturgell Buzzard Runyon and it burnt about 1980. I have a picture of it. Cuz, Anita </HTML>

Anita, Which one are you referring to? The shack on the creek past Granny Runyon's?

Thank you Charlotte, Not sure how I got Logan County mixed up with Wayne other than I had been searching in Logan for the William Fronk Family. Ray died Jan.4 1936. I do already have what you found on the Fronk's. The whole family was buried in Dunlow, Wayne Co. The information on The Meade family is very helpful and will take a little sorting out.

Shelby, Like you, I am ancient. I don't go back to Abe Lincoln, but he and I had something in common: We were both born in a log cabin. Take a peep at the cover of the book; TRACKING THE PIONEERS II: A History of Browning Families of Southern West Virginia. Now for a story: I used to be close to a family who lived just below the famous Trough on the South Branch of the Potomac River in Hampshire County, WV. A daughter of theirs married a brother of Freddie Wyant, an all american quarterback at WVU in the fifties. The young couple decided to remodel the old farmhouse, which was originally a huge log house that had been "modernized" and expanded. One of the first things to go from the old house was the wallpaper. When they had stripped the walls down through several layers of paper, they discovered that the walls and ceiling of the entire logged portion of the house were covered with one-inch black walnut lumber. The dang thing was worth it's weight in gold. The old log houses of West Virginia were mostly built from huge yellow poplar logs that were hewn flat on two sides and the cracks were filled with mud. Later on as they were preserved, the mud was often replaced with cement. The one I lived in was finished off on the inside with beautiful yellow popular lumber. Yellow popular was a very soft wood, but old timers liked it because it was more workable than most of the Appalachian hardwoods, and it was highly resistant to rot. Floors of cabins that used the popular planks for flooring wore away in the areas of high usage until they were no longer even. And, that leads to another tale. (But, as you all know by now, anything can remind me of a story!) In the fall of 1960, a group of aerospace engineers, myself included, was sequestered in the historic old Claryville Inn located on the south side of Route 40 between Cumberland and Frostburg, Maryland, to work on a highly classified design project associated with the Polaris missile system. The building had been a hospital during the Civil War. The upstairs rooms and hallway had served as the hospital and the downstairs area housed horses. My desk was situated upstairs against a wall in the hallway. I am not sure if the original building was a log structure, but the floors were of yellow poplar. Through the decades the center of the hall had been worn down, but the area near the wall was worn considerably less. It took five 1/4 inch shims to level the desk indicating to me how much of the floor had worn away, and it made me wonder how thick those boards must have been originally. I told this story before to some friends from Wyoming County and one of them pointed out that a relative of theirs by the name of Griffith Canterbury died in a hospital in Frostburg. No doubt this was the hospital where he died. Ironically, it served our country in two different centuries, first as a hospital in the Civil War and later as office space in the Cold War. Back to stories of the Guyan next time.

Some of you may remember my Grandparents Ose and Mamie Richey had a beautiful real log home there in Logan. The house was very large two story and massive reminded me of the Bonanza homestead. I spent many summers there. They also had a log home next to it as well. The large log home was stunning a real masterpiece. The inside walls fascinated me as a child. The home burned to the ground when I was about 11 so that would have been 1965 when Lighting struck it. The fire dept had no way to fight the flames as there was only that small walking bridge over the river to the actual home. My GrandFather also built a six room Log cabin on the mountain top by the homes. He would take me up the long dirt road in his jeep to spend days with him. He taught me how to identify tracks, and about the West Virginia wildlife. He also loved to have me sit on the mountain side and while eating a picnic lunch just watch the beauty of the mountain. He swore if I listened long enough I could hear the mountain talk. I was not happy however when he cooked ground hog or bear steaks or squirrels. We had serious words wow I was really giving him hell. Thanks for the memories, Terri Richey Terri Pascal You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. —Jeannette Rankin ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

The largest log home, made with an axe & saw, was the Bob Lowe home across the Guyan from Kitchen, WV. It was about 30 feet in length, and 20 feet in width, with a huge loft. Bob was a relative of mine; his wife was Caroline(Hill) Lowe was my late wife Norma's great aunt. The oldest log home was the Gideon Marcum homeplace, at Breeden, Mingo co, WV.Gid built this cabin in the early 1800s; it stood until a few years back,when it finally collapsed.I have a pic of the cabin. Another old log house was the church at Davin, Wv.; built about the same time as the Gideon Marcum home. Today, there are more beautiful log homes being built with modern equiptment, but its doubtful they will last as long as ones I mentioned.

Hello; I saw Mr. Plants one time at the old timers' breakfast at Mc Donalds. They each had certain seats to sit in, and woe unto anyone who claimed their seats,lol.They could really spin some yarns about Pond Fork, and the other areas of Boone Co. WV. I also know Lenore Ferrell; in fact were related (Through her ancestor,Dorcas Workman).Dorcas & James, her sibling,my ancestor. I visited her home on Hewett cr. 3 years ago. Bought some more publications to add to my collection. Shelby B. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

I would like to extend an acknowledgment and thank you for the contributions of my Uncle and current President of the Boone County Genealogical Society, Bob Plants. He has been a tremendous resource to many people in Boone and Logan Counties tracing their family trees. He is also a masterful 'storyteller' of the many families who have lived in this area for many years. He has amazing recall and ability to put together the individuals and families. He has spent hours carefully preserving and sharing documents from court, newspaper and land records in the two counties to help verify information. He is also an active volunteer and organizer of the Coal Museum in Madison which is dedicated to preserving the stories and history of people and coal. As an ex-miner and collector of 'history' he gives a wonderful tour of the role of coal and the life of miners. He has even helped me to find Elkins males willing to have DNA tested so that we can help in identifying the ancestry of Daniel Patterson Elkins, and traced for more information about my Great Uncle who was involved in the Battle of Blair Mountain. I have heard him describe several stories of people coming to him with little more than a picture of a parent or unknown grandparent, and he has successfully helped them to 'find their roots.' I know he works closely with Lenore Ferrell. He was also awarded a History Hero award in 2003 by the WVA Division of Culture and History. On a recent visit, he was able to help me to 'map' what we know about Daniel Patterson Elkins (who lived with Andrew Workman in the 1850 census) based on documents that exist about his life. I will be posting that information as I can. He has also been instrumental in helping with other Elkins, Plants, Price, Cooper, Morris, Meadows, Nelson and Stone ancestors. His stories on our early ancestors and descriptions of life as it was years ago should be recorded and preserved. He truly makes them come to life. It's a pretty amazing thing to share breakfast with him at a local McDonalds in Madison and have him identify almost every person who walks in as a customer-- and how they are related to us. (and share some truly wonderful 'mountain stories' about their families - warts and all). Thanks for this opportunity to recognize his contributions to our history. He is truly a history hero and a great resource if you are in the area. Debbie Deem ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hi Jim: A little insight on people who called Cyclone their address.The US Mail Service has been around since 1838. They named the early post offices,but didnt say which area it would serve. It probably served people from Huff Jct, to Oceana, including all the creeks in between. Same thing down Chapmanville way.People who lived on Crawley, Big Creek, Caney,Rocky Creeks called Chapmanville their address, although they lived considerable distance from the town itself.

Dear Logan County, Virginia Genealogist and family. I have been comparing the Brown families from Logan County West Virginia and Beyond with my Brown data base. The comparison is absolutely remarkable. I have been to Cyclone, West Virginia several times in my life. When you visit Cyclone it is right on the Logan and Wyoming County line. Apparently it is in Wyoming County today. When looking around I have seen just a few homes; however, as I type names of people who have lived in Cyclone I find that there are a lot more people who have been born or died in Cyclone. My great grand mother Lucinda Brown who married James Harley Brown was born there in 1848. Has anyone ever lived there or had family who lived there? Cyclone must include several hollers that expands from the area right on the Logan Wyoming County border. Does any one have an insight to Cyclone, Wyoming, West Virginia.? A few months ago I ask the list if anyone was related to the families that lived on Buffalo Creek and Huff Creek. I listed the families on Buffalo Creek and Huff Creek. I received zero results as I remember. Certainly there were very few people who lived the in the 1850 1860 1870 time period. As we know this area was Tridelphia Township 80% of my family was from Tridelphia township. Further I believe that most people on the list are related to families that lived near Logan, Chapmanville, Williamson and other areas away from Buffalo Creek, Huff Creek, and Gilbert where most of my family lived. Any comments from members of the list. As a result I have been concentrating most of my time on families from Tridelphia District - the relationships are multiple and amazing. All of the families are interrelated hundreds of times. Can we do a roll call on people who had family on Buffalo Creek and Huff creek and surrounding areas? I would be curious to see who you are! Thanks Jim Burgess

Laura -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vanessa Allen Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 2:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WVLOGAN] Kena Browning & Lillie Burgess Hi Laura, Here are some notes I have on Kenna and Lillie. Logan County WV Marriages, Book #2, by Donna L. Brown, p. 33. Married May 30, 1904, by A. B. Burgess. Kenna Browning, single, age 24, farmer, son of J. D. Browning, and Lillie Burgess, single, age 19, daughter of A. B. Burgess and Cal Alif. In 1910, Ken was age 29 and Lillie age 24 and they were living next door to Lillie's parents Aaron and Cally Burgess. Ken and Lillie had been married for 6 years, had 3 children and 2 of them were living - a son Will and a daughter Minnie. The handwriting was very nice and easy to read (Evart N. White, enumerator). And Ken was very clearly listed as Leander K. Browning (his first name was listed as Leander). 1910 Triadelphia #57-63, pg 150B (pg 65-4B). In 1920, Ken and Lillie were still living next door to Lillie's parents, and their two oldest children were still Will and Minnie. In 1920 his name was listed as Ken Browning. It was hard to read, so the enumerator carefully printed Ken in small clear letters above his name. 1920 Triadelphia #78-79, pg 199A (pg 35-4A). Lillie Burgess Browning's parents were Aaron B. Burgess (son of Calvin and Jane Vance Burgess) and Callie R. Guthrie (who may have also gone by Callie Aliff?). Lillie's marriage record listed her mother as Cal Alif, but Callie's own marriage record when she married Aaron Burgess listed her name as Cally Guthry daughter of Wm Guthry and N. Alif. Cally's death certificate in 1930 listed her name as Cal R. Burgess, wife of A. B. Burgess, parents Nacy [Nancy] Guthrie and Cal Guthrie {as maiden name of mother}. It appears that the informant misunderstood and listed Callie's mother's name and Callie's maiden name, instead of listing both of Callie's parents. The death certificate said that Callie was born in Jarells [Giles?] Co., Va, but Callie's marriage record said Roanoke Co. Callie's mother was living with Aaron and Callie in the 1880 Logan census (p. 76-06, Tri. #44), listed as Nancy Aliff, mother, age 40. Kenna Browning's parents were James Dolliver Browning and Elmira Brown (James Dolliver Browning was son of Nathaniel Browning and Margaret Browning, and Elmira Brown was daughter of Evan Brown and Margaret Vance.) It's not easy to see who Kenna's parents were from the census records, but his marriage record and his death certificate verify his parents' names. Death certificate: Kena Browning, born May 27, 1880 Amherstdale, W.Va.; died August 10, 1956 at home in Kistler, Logan County, W.Va.; age 76 yrs 2 mo 13 days; usual residence Kistler; married; usual occupation Tippleman; parents Dolliver Browning and Elmira Brown; informant Mrs. Minnie Sargent; cause of death intestinal obstruction due to carcinoma; buried 8/12/56, Forest Lawn Cemetery. Kenna's parents James Dolliver Browning and Elmira Brown were married in 1876; their daughter Augusta was born January 13, 1879 and their son Kenna was born May 27, 1880. In the 1880 census, their children were listed as Augusta age 2 and Step age one month. Next door was James Dolliver's brother Stephen Browning and wife Lucinda and children. Stephen Browning (next door) was also listed as Step Browning. Because of the 1880 census listing, I first thought that James Dolliver's son Kenna was named Stephen Kenna Browning. However, since the 1910 census clearly listed Kenna's name as Leander Kenna Browning, and since there is no further documentation of Kenna's name being Stephen, I now think the name Step on the 1880 census may have been a mix-up due to the older Stephen Browning living next door. (Unless Kenna's full name was something like Leander Stephen Kenna Browning.) Incidentally, in 1880 the parents of both Kenna and Lillie were listed on the same census page. Kenna's mother Elmira Brown Browning died when Kenna was still very little. Kenna's father James Dolliver Browning was widowed when he remarried in December 1882. Kenna was living with his sister Augusta in the 1900 census. Kenna's sister Augusta Browning first married James Kemper Brown in 1896, son of Charles Lewis Brown. James K. and Gusta were divorced before the 1900 census, and here's Gusta's census record in 1900, in Logan County, Triadelphia District #174-175, pg. 71A: BROWN, Gusta, born Jan 1879, age 21, single, farmer, Kenny, brother, born Mar 1881, age 19, single, farm laborer, [should be Kenny BrownING] Letha, aunt, born Apr 1860, age 40, 1 child, 1 living, [should be Letha BrownING] Effie P., niece, born Feb 1896, age 4. Effie P. was Effie Pearl or Pearl Effie Brown, daughter of James Kemper Brown and Augusta Browning. In 1910, she was listed as Pearl E. Brown, step-daughter age 14, in the household of John Beckett and her mother Augusta Browning Brown Beckett, who married John Beckett in 1903. In the 1910 census, Kenna's sister Augusta was still living close to her Browning cousins, children of Stephen and Lucinda. She was living next door to Linford D. Browning and family, who had Aunt Letha, widow, living with him in 1910. Letha's relationship was listed as "Aunt" both when she was living with Gusta in 1900 and when she was living with Linford D. in 1910, so it appears that she was the same Letha who was a sister of James Dolliver Browning and Stephen Browning. Close by in 1910 (on the same census page) were the families of Nelson and Van Buren Browning. 1910 Triadelphia pg 148A (pg 65-2A) - a few pages away from Ken and Lillie.

Hi Stan; Outhouses were a favorite target on Halloween night also.I remember one "turnover" in Chapmanville. While the pranksters were busy pushing the outhouse. one of the guys, an overweight named Fat Wagner slipped down in the hole. He was yelling for help when someone says :" the law is coming" We all ran, and Fat was captured. He gave all our names to the lawman, except mine. He couldnt remember my name, so I got off from the scrape. The other guys had to go back the next day and replace the outhouse.Either that , or go to jail. Another Halloween we pranksters took off the wheels on Henry Lee Mullins' farm wagon; then hid the whole shebang upstairs in Henry's barn. He was asking me next day where his wagon was, and I told him to look in his barnloft,lol.I never admitted guilt, but Henry may have thought different <grin>. We also hit Hubert Ferrell's store. He had a large steel container for burning trash outdoors. We rolled the drum down the rr track for a long way.Next day Hubert offered a reward for the drum. We got it back in place, and got a big bag of candy for our effort. Shelby ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
