No we are the Meadows, Ritter, Testerman, King, Orender,Shuck,Anderson, just to name a few. Anyway Grandma and Grandpa lived there until early 70's when we moved them to a retirement trailer park. First time they had running water, bathroom, and electricity in the house. Grandpa was also a coal miner, and lead the singing at the Methodist Church and sometimes he was a mortician. I did talk to my aunt tonight and she said that if she can remember correctly that there is a cemetery up on the Mountain above Matoka. She said if you go to where the old Railroad depot was cross the tracks there was a road that went to the top of that mountain and it was up there. She is going back down in a couple of weeks and said she would double check it then. She is also going to talk to my other aunt tomorrow after Church. A couple of years ago we went back home and I got to go see Grandma's old house. The mountain is sliding down but a couple still live in it. He also has black lung and his wife calls him a walking dead man. Granny's spring is still there and the water was just as cold as I could remember it. I actually brought a bottle of it back home with me. Oh the memories........
