Sandi, Your writing took me there, so nice, thank you for sharing. I have been there but it has been a few years. My personal story that is deep in my heart is one I treasure of the area. In 1942 my father's brother Bethel Clark's home was where the train engine now stands in Chief Logan park. My parents lived up Dempsey Branch with my grandparents Buren and Martha Hannah-Clark where my sister was born June 1, 1942. My Uncle Bethel's first child was born in the home they lived in June 14, 1942 and in the morning he walked up Dempsey to share his news with his family only to hear his father Buren had slipped away during the night to be with the Lord. Somehow I believe if the park had not been built the old home of my uncles would have been torn down and forgotten, but as it is when I see the train there it is a warm thought to me standing where these events of my family took place. Call me scentimental. I would love to have the picture you offered. judinclark@sbcglobal.net LINDA wrote: > Sandi, > I would like very much to have a picture. > My dad was born in Logan.His name is Clarence Eugene Kirk 1919 ,His > dad Evert Kirk > thanks for the offer wish i could be their for the encampment i too > love history. > Linda richlin@ezl.com > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandi" <sandmayo@yahoo.com> > To: <WVLOGAN-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 9:01 AM > Subject: [WVLOGAN] Chief Logan and I > > >> Hello, >> >> Yesterday, I had the honor of spending the day with >> Chief Logan, at Chief Logan State Park. >> >> My approach to Chief Logan was sad, but my resignation >> for what I was going to undertake was unthwarted. >> Chief Logan stood stern, proud, and undaunted by my >> presence.

Thank you, Jim. It's possible this may be the family of George Smith of Logan Co. However, Mercer Co. wasn't formed until 1837. My Stewarts came from Franklin Co., VA to Mercer Co. then on to Boone. Mercer Co. has very little info for a genealogist, but It is well worth investigating.

HI Sandi, I have never been to Chief Logan park. I think I have only been in the Logan County area once in my life and I would have been very young. I would love to see a picture of Chief Logan Memorial. I applaud your work at trying to clean it up. Jane H. Lorain, OH

Thanks Sadie. I would like to see Chief Logan. I am originally from Wyoming County Lee Hash Culpeper, Va

Jim, THANK YOU!!!!! I cannot believe how much of my family is referenced in this little book (Chapman, Abbott, Martin, Abbott, Sawyers, Cole, Wilson, Cole)! How did you ever find it???? It's A Good Life!

Sandi, Thanks for sharing your day with us. I don't remember seeing the statue when I last visited the park, so will have to make a special effort to see it the next time I'm in Logan. I'm sure everyone appreciates your efforts to keep the park looking nice. You may know my two sisters who still live in Logan County--Pam Brumfield and Patty Robinette. I sent Pam your information and hope she will go by to see your flowers--she doesn't live far from the park. I'd love to receive the photo. Thanks, Sandra __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Sandi, Thank you for taking care of Chief Logan's earth. I'm sure that if he was alive he would have felt great honor in your actions and good deeds. I wish I could be there for the celebration of our history this week-end but I live half a world away, however, I would love to have a look at the pictures that you took......and any others you might have tucked away of those beautiful mountains that I miss sooooo much! It's A Good Life!

Some of SILAS FANNIN’s descendants married BROWNING. ICIE FANNIN (Wayne - Easton - Silas) b. 2 March 1919; married OSSIE BROWNING. This is a question for anyone who owns copies of Stanley Browning’s books: Tracking the Pioneers : History and Genealogy of Capt. Ralph Stewart and His Descendants TRACKING THE PIONEERS II: A History of Browning Families of Southern West Virginia Do either of these books mention SILAS FANNIN? If so, what is written about him? Ralph Sayre "Shared joy is double joy and shared sorrow is half-sorrow." - Swedish Proverb

Hello, Yesterday, I had the honor of spending the day with Chief Logan, at Chief Logan State Park. My approach to Chief Logan was sad, but my resignation for what I was going to undertake was unthwarted. Chief Logan stood stern, proud, and undaunted by my presence. I surrounded him by tools and flowers, and lots of determination, to make his standing ground a lovely place once more. The two barberry bushes planted on either side of him had grown to considerable size and I was concerned about their overgrowth. The crabgrass was the biggest problem, but I pulled the most of it from the soil. Many people drove by taking notice of my endeavor, and several even stopped to ask if I was with a local garden club, to which I proudly replied, "YES! Are you a garden club member, also? We are in desparate need of new members who like to do civic beautification..." To which, I just received a smile and a "Keep up the great work!" ;-) For several weeks I have felt compelled to come and clean and plant flowers in the flower bed of Chief Logan....He deserves some beautification, as our county is named for him. The men working inside the Museum in the Park came out to check on me and one asked if I had been called to clean up Chief Logan for this coming weekend's event? I stated to him that I had not, and I knew nothing of what was happening this weekend....He proceeded to tell me about the Colonial Days Encampment that they are calling West Virginia Days. Reenactors of the pre 1840's will set up camps and demonstrate the lifestyles of the Colonial natives and American natives of the Logan Co., VA(WV) area....He made it sound so interesting to a history nut. Friday and Saturday they will demonstrate what it may have been like to live in those early years in peace time, not war. Mrs. Frankie Esposito, Museum in the Park curator, came out to talk with me, and later took me on a tour of the museum and its contents....the huge Coal Wall Memorial is being constructed, and I was lucky enough to get to meet the artist, and see the beginnings of the construction...Cool. The coal being used is from the actual mines from SAGO and the one at Melville, Logan Co.,...A must see once completed this weekend! Mrs. Esposito explained that they are planning to have a room set up to invite persons to come and tell their oral histories, as many of these are being lost with each passing day. I agreed with her wholeheartedly, and told her I was very impressed that there were plans for this. She was very excited about it. I really liked the Quilt exhibit and especially, the Dehue/Rum Creek, Logan Co., WV Exhibit that is in the main entry hall. Anyway, I returned to complete my duties around Chief Logan, and I am almost positive he was beginning to stand a little taller when I had completed planting all the petunias, swept up, and cleaned. I regret I did not have enough to plant on the back side, though. Bruce Collinsworth, park coordinator, told me to do whatever it took to make him look nice....and so I proceeded to trim up those unruley barberry bushes into nice round balls....Though I would have preferred completely removing them and planting yellow lilly perennials, but that is for another time and more money down the road. (The paper wasps' nest in the right hand bush, kept me from cutting them down to the nubs). I took photos of him and a family with a son named LOGAN, stopped to have their photo taken with Chief Logan, also....It was a good day. The Chief stood tall again. I will gladly email a photo of the Chief Logan memorial, if anyone would like to see him in his glory, or better yet, pay him a personal visit this weekend. Have a great weekend, Sandi Logan Garden Council Holden Garden Club __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Does anyone have a list of the folks buried in the Dempsey Cemetery in Myrtle, Mingo Co., WV? Is it in one of the Cemetery books? If so which one? I've run across a bunch of Curry descendants who were buried there. Thanks! Laura
