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.

Any of you guys ever clean up a chicken that had got trapped in an outhouse? I have and it "ain't" fun. Shelby, I know you will remember back in the thirties how the WPA placed outhouses at periodic intervals alongside the highway. They were a favorite target for the halloween pranksters. They didn't allow the one at the mouth of Coon Branch at Matheny to remain upright even that long. It probably was turned over three or four times a year. The officials finally gave up and abandoned the whole idea. They couldn't pin that mischief on me as I was too young.

Hello Sandra - I am a Stewart but know of no Delaware Stewarts. My Stewarts were in Henrico Shire, VA before 1634. They migrated south and westward to Franklin Co., VA then Mercer Co., now WVa and on to Boone Co. A branch of them went to SC and TN. I wish I could help you. The Stewarts are very difficult to trace. I had to take a yDNA to find my line. Luckily I had three matches who had info. Then there are the Wyoming Co. Stewarts, descendents of Ralph Stewart. A male Stewart in your family may need to take the yDNA test. And, they used the same given names over and over until the mid 1800s.

The bath water story you told reminded me of a tale Ocie Wallen told; Him ,dad, & Eddie Mullins were passing around the bottle at Eddie's home one Sat. night. Saturday was always bath night for the kids.After a while, dad told them all goodnight; he backed up & didnt see the tub of bath water,so he had a big wet splash, He had to stay longer to dry off his clothes by the fireplace !

Shelby, Do you mind if I save your stories of growing up in Logan County and add to my family history information? You grew up around the same time as my Dad, and he used to tell us stories of his life in Logan County, but of course, as a kid and younger adult, I really never listened to well to those stories. When I read your stories, life growing up in Logan County comes to life. Thanks for telling us your memories! Evelyn Wilburn Sukey No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi Shelby, Thank you for the memories. We must have taken the Sunday paper as I remember mom reading the comics to me on Sunday after dinner. We had a tall floor model radio with a small red light at the bottom that showed it was on. We children would lay on the floor in front of it to listen to the Lone Ranger. I suppose they had done this before I was born in 1948, as we were born in 42, 44, 46 and 48. Everything dad bought came from Sears catalog. He had bought a tape recorder, reel to reel, top style. The fun part was everyone who played a guitar or sang at churches around and knew dad had this would come over on mostly Sunday's to be recorded. As a kid it was fun to have the company and the music. Dad tried to preserve the music to cassettes but with age they either broke or the sound is distorted on most. He had the recorder long before I came along so I am sure it was a great novelty and enjoyment to the friends around. Mother told of how her mother listened to the war news on a small radio and worried about mother's oldest brother who was in the war. She said the radio cut in and out at the worst of times. How many children were in your home? Judi Hello all Logan co. WV kin & others; At first, I want to tell you of our limited news, back in the 1930 s; 1940 s. We had no TV.A few had staticy radios were around.But we did have the newspapers, which kept us informed.I remember learning to read the Cincinnati Post at an early age.We didnt have money for several newspapers, so we chose the Post.I think it was two cents a copy back then. The comics were great in the Post: Dick Tracy,Ella Cinders,Tailspin Tommy,Orphan Annie were some. Its sad to see the demise of the great old newspapers.But im glad I never had any tv , now that I think it over. I would never had the chance to learn reading skills. In the great depression years, we sort of pulled our way along by whatever means necessary. We didnt really need any alarm clocks; the roosters woke us at 5 am.The churches had bell towers who rang at 10 am Sundays. Summers were busy times, growing our food supplys. All food that could be preserved was did so in Mason jars, and crocks. To sum it up,we had enough food , but clothing was hard to come by. We usualy wore hand me downs, that the older kids out grown. Every kid "brown bagged" their school lunches, which contained leftovers from the previous meals at home. I will never forget how good the homemade biscuits, with apple butter betwixt, tasted at lunch. Hope you enjoy my stories.
