THE HISTORY OF ALPENA Helen Senic with Angie Phillips http://www.swcp.com/~dhickman/journals/V4I2/alpena.html ALPENA! Yes, Alpena, West Virginia! To think of it . . . to know it . . . to leave and come back to it . . . Ah! to live in it . . . that is best of all! "Time has made a change in the old home place." The words of this old familiar song certainly remind me of the Alpena I have known. Alpena has not always been Alpena. In fact, it was not even named until 1879. But there were people here, lives being lived. Some of those lives were being lived by American Indians. We are sure of this because Mr. E.C. Wyatt found and marked the grave site OT Peter Shaver who was killed by Indians. The grave site can still be seen along the road as you travel from Alpena south to Glady. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Gloria Jean (Powers) Husk, 114 Arizona Street, Carrabelle, Fl. 32322 Surnames:Husk,Critchfield,Bissell,Wilson,Riffle,Helmick,Cox,Palmer, Dennis,Powers,White,Stout,Teter,McCally,Norton,Privett,Harris,Morris, Wyatt,Bennett,Sandlin,Woods,Karickhoff,Lantz,Casto,Rohr,Cooper Powers & Husk Families listed at: http://www.gloryway.com
