I drove along S. Kanawha St. yesterday, on my way to the library. Looked for an obit for her, but did not find one on the microfiche, I was in a hurry, so there may have been one. We must remember they may not have done one. The block along S.

I am aware that the Breedings were not/ may not have lived at Shady Spring at all. The certificate of death says she was buried in Shady Springs Cemetery, Shady Springs, WV. I have contacted the probable funeral home, Calfee, and the man I spoke to is going to look thru all records to see what else he can find. -----Original Message----- From: Njcdp@aol.com Sent: Nov 15, 2005 5:01 PM To: WVRALEIG-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WVRALEIG] Shady Spring Cemetery Bonnie: I located the 1920 and 1930 census for William and Ellen/Elvira Breeding.

I know that noone has ever heard of a cemetery named that but I must try. I have a death certificate for a lady that died in 1943, in Beckley in Raleigh Co. I have someone who believes the funeral home is Calfee's, and I have contacted them. But so far noone can remember a cemetery in Shady Spring(not supposed to be an s on the end, I have been told by Raleigh countians), that was named Shady Springs Cemetery in Shady Springs. I someone out there knows where this is/was. Or what the name might be now, please let me know.
