Does anyone know where the "Old Enon" cemetery is and how to get there? I found the Enon Primitive Baptist Church founded in 1881 directly off of Rt 9 at Largent, but could not locate the Old Enon cemetery on a recent visit. Sandy Hayne

Does anyone know a contact for the Camp Hill cemetery that can provide burial information? I have seen the Morgan County book listing burials at the cemetery but I need more specific information. Thanks, Sandy Hayne

He served in WW1 and was killed in France on November 4, 1918. He enlisted in Ohio, but apparently was from West Virginia as evidenced by the URL link listed below. I suppose he should be listed in the 1910 census in one state or the other. Anything anyone can find about him will be greatly useful and appreciated.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SPOHR, SILER, MCBEE, BLAKER, MEEK Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FEC.2ACE/793.1.1 Message Board Post: The following is information I have on the SPOHR family in Morgan County West Virginia. From the article by Kathern Allemong, "Morgan County School History" - From Morgan County and Its People, Fred Newbraugh states the name SPOHR came from Theodorus SPOHR who was born in Switzerland about 1740. He was the son of Hans Ulrich SPOHR and his wife Margaret SILER. They came to America in 1740 and settled in this area. I do not have the name of Theodorus “Theodore” SPOHR'S wife at this time. (If anyone out there has the name of Theodorus’ wife I would appreciate an email.) Theodorus SPOHR had three sons. Their names were Henry SPOHR, Edward SPOHR and Simeon SPOHR. I found this information listed at FamilySearch Ancestry File. Henry SPOHR married Elizabeth. I do not know Elizabeth’s maiden name. (If anyone out there has a maiden name for Elizabeth I would appreciate an email.) Henry and Elizabeth had 12 children. Their names were Mary, Sarah, Susan, Frances, Harrison, Lavina, Edward, Emeline, Christina, Hannah, George, and Henry Clay. I also found this information from the LDS site. Henry and Elizabeth SPOHR'S daughter Mary married Zachariah MCBEE. Zachariah MCBEE is my G-G-G-Grandfather. Mary and Zachariah had 7 children. Their second born son Henry Clay MCBEE is my G-G-Grandfather. Henry and Elizabeth SPOHR'S son George T. married Sarah M. MCBEE. Sarah M. MCBEE was the daughter of Townsend MCBEE and Sarah BLAKER. (Townsend was Zachariah McBee’s brother.) I do not have a listing for an Elizabeth SPOHR that lists a Lewis MEEK. As for Susan SPOHR, the only information I have at this time is that information that is previously listed. By the way, I have Susan’s birthdate as 1815. I am not sure if this is correct since I have not researched this information in more detail.

Clarence Randolph Hovermale and Lillian Hovermale, who married, respectively, Clara Jane Harmison and George S. Harmison (these last two are siblings) are not siblings. Clarence is the son of Samuel Jefferson and Susan Jane (Weber) Hovermale. Lillian is the daughter of George William and Bessie Grace (Hovermale) Hovermale. However, Clarence and Lillian are cousins several times removed, I believe, both going back to John Christian Hovermale, born about 1755. Harry Grossman

Clara Jane Harmison b. 1 JUN 1882 Morgan Co., WV and d. 28 DEC 1958. She m. 6 FEB 1901 in Morgan Co., WV, to Clarence R. Hovermale/Havermale s/o Samuel J. and Susan J.
