Thanks for the positive report on your trip to Ritchie Co. I'm from Saint Paul, Minnesota and am following behind you (the week of 10/22 - 10/29) with a similar task (researching my Pribble, Harris, Mealey, and Rutherford ancestry), and so I'm glad you've primed the pump. I look forward to meeting the folks at the Ritchie Co. Historical Society and to turning over a few rocks of my own.

First let me brag about the Heritage Inn. I originally had reservations there, but unfortunately for me, I have trouble climbing steps. The suite of rooms that she had set up there is superb (my daughter told me all about it). An old fashioned setting, with all the modern convieniences. Four poster beds and all. But since we couldn't stay, this kind and generous lady (innkeeper), called the lodge for us and got us rooms there. So we were extremely late getting settled in (3pm), but I called Mr. Jones at the Historical Society and he told us that that was fine, just come on over. The Old Stone House is a Don't Miss type of place. They have a good library and about 26 or more rooms done in historical type stuff. Super place! I can't say enough good things about the folks of the Historical Society. Mr. Jones was extremely helpful, David Scott found me at the Lodge and offered help with any info that I might need. I found the Haught Family book (that I didn't know existed) at the Historical Society, that has many many pictures of my family, that I had never seen before from about 1900 to 1920. And Mr. Jones made copies for me. And I finally found the Phillips Cemetery, waaaay up on the mountain. Actually my daughter did the climbing. One big FIND for me was that there is a headstone in the Phillips Cemetery for my great grandparents, Sanda & Sarah Smith Scott. When Francis read the cemetery for the Historical Society Cem Book, it was so overgrown that she couldn't see it, but it has since been cleaned up a bit, and there it was. And there are pictures of Sandy & Sarah in the Haught Book, so for the first time i got to see what Sarah looked like. What a faboulous Trip. Thanks in a big way to the Ritchie Co., Historical Society.
