My uncle who served in WW I had been gassed and I remember his lungs were scarred and he had lots of lung problems. He still lived till the 1970's but suffered all types of breathing illnesses He still managed to farm and other things, but winters were very hard on him. I don't remember what types of gases there are but I do remember reading that the Germans gassed many of the soldiers in the trenches they built in France.

Chemical agents were employed during WWI so if he was 'gassed', he was probably a victim of mustard gas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlotte Morrison" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 8:57 AM Subject: [WVWIRT] Victor Owens
Posted on: Wirt County, WV Queries & Automated Mail List Postings Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Wirt?read=676 Surname: Richards, Owens, Hawk ------------------------- I really appreciate your response to my query. I had not yet found the record of Harley L. Owens' marriage. I had learned from family records that Harley had a very short life. The records handed down to me state: "was gassed during World War I and died around 1929." I don't really know what the phrase "was gassed" means, but I interpret it as an indication that he was probably physically challenged for the remainder of his short life. I also appreciate you pointing out the 1910 Wirt Co. census listing to me, although I had already found that. Just in case someone in the future should be looking for information about Victor E. Owens, I thought I should point out that you made an innocent typographical error with Victor's age in that census. Victor was 38 in 1910 ... not 28. I'm still hoping to find some information about Joseph S. & Ellen Richards (parents of Victors wife, Elizabeth) in Wirt Co. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1910 Census of Wirt Co., WV #203-207 Elizabeth Magisterial District Victor E OWENS head...38 m...19yrs b WV... father b WV...mother b OH Elizabeth...wife...35 m...19yrs b WV...parents b WV...7-6 children Enwreth?

My understanding of "being gassed" during WW I : while fighting in dug out trenches in Europe, a type of gas (probably nerve gas) was used as a weapon by Germany. As a result some of our soldiers were permanently affected. I remember as a high school student in the 1940's I had a teacher who was supposedly "gassed" and he, in mid sentence, would walk out the open classroom door and continue down the hallway, still lecturing. That was as strange as he ever acted. For better understanding, Molly Ball Stoddard
The Children of Henrietta Yeager-Cunningham-Criss and Arthur CRISS were: Gene CRISS married June Moss Phyllis CRISS married Mitchell Nutter Frank CRISS Henrietta's parents were Edward Yeager and Lena ? Thanks, [email protected]
Edward YEAGER and Lena are the parents of Henrietta YEAGER-CUNNINGHAM-CRISS. The only marriage info I have on Henrietta is that she married Arthur CRISS on July 22, 1942 in Wirt Co., WV. I believe that Henrietta was born in 1905. Arthur was born 8-20-1915/Wirt Co., WV. Does anyone know of this family?

Harris Giffin of the Rose Hill section was here last Saturday, enroute to Parkersburg for the day, and he was very emphatic about the item in Rose Hill news items last week describing the bad road condition in his locality, and the apparent lack of any intention on the part of road personnel to do anything about it. Harry T. Lockhart, of Rt. 3, Palestine, was an Elizabeth visitor on Saturday, and as he had read of the bad road condition in Rose Hill section, described a similar condition on Henderson Run. At a bad place below the Wilbur Cooper house, a truck driver dumped rock on either side of a mud hole; and at another place between the Frank Edwards and Cleve Sheppard farms rock was also dumped in a pile. In neither instance was the rock spread or filled in the mud holes, Mr. Lockhart said.

Victor and "Lizzie" settled in Parkersburg after their marriage. I believe Elizabeth's parents are Joseph S. RICHARDS (b. abt 1844) and Ellen (b. abt 1854) whose maiden name may be HAWK. I think Joseph and Ellen came to Wirt Co. from Doddridge or Harrison Co. I would like verification that Joseph & Ellen are Elizabeth's parents and I would also like to find a list of Elizabeth's siblings.

Don't know if I can help you or not. I have an America Ballard marrying my grand-dads uncle John. I cannot verify that they (Ballard's) ever resided in Wirt County but John and America in Wood County and when I was down there doing research it sure seemed to me that their farm was only a stones throw out of Wirt County. My info is kinda sparse but I show her parents as John Dee Ballard and mom was Jane Davis and there were six kids in the family. If you think she might be part of the people you seek then give a shout; I have husband and her kids names and also brothers and sisters. I have NO info on her parents beyond their names. This is not a direct line for me so I have not gathered that much info but if we can be sure we have a match here then I will go thru my paperwork and find addresses for researchers of that branch of family.

I can't give you good directions as I live in Ohio but I visit the cemetery half a dozen times a year as I have a lot of family buried there (Woolard, Lockhart and Lynch). Just wanted to recommend that you attend church services if you can. My brother and I did so last fall and received such a warm welcome. It is a very small congregation. There were only 18 in attendance that day. The view from the church is lovely. You'll find peace there. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Brubaker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2000 10:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WVWIRT] Mayberry "New Home" Church Can anyone give me directions to the Mayberry "New Home" Church Cemetery?
