HINTON IS (or was) A RAILROAD TOWN> There is a RR Museum in Hinton, maybe they have a list of deaths. I will try to find the link and send it to you. I checked the Monroe Cemetery book as well. PERHAPS he was injured and died being transported back to Va. They would not have recorded it as a death in Hinton but some where along the way. Then as the story is handed down that was what evolved bases on where the fatal injury occured. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Duncan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [WVSUMMER] Death of Cornelius Duncan-April 5, 1873(Hinton) > Thank you for checking on Cornelius' death record.
