We were at Logan High School at the same time. I lived at Omar and graduated in 1955. I believe you were a sophmore. What a great job you have done with this. You revived so many of my memories especially the log cabin that we would always pass by on our way to Logan. I can't stress enough what a great job you have done. So many memories came back to me. Thanks again!

As I recall, in the late 50's the Handy Andy store building was used as a "juvenile club" dance hall. It could be that it was not until the mid-60's that it was a dance hall. There were some great dancers that frequented it. I seem to recall that one of the best was a girl named (I think?) Kathy Mounts who had lost the lower portion of her right arm. Wow! She could dance! I believe she had a sandy-haired brother who was also quite expert. My impression is that they were from the Cherry Tree area.
I began driving in '58. I remember those concrete bridges and had the same anxieties you did driving across them. It was some time later that I became somewhat comfortable with the 2-lane traffic.
I don't know how long after I started driving but one night I had a date with a girl from Chauncey. It was almost dark as I drove from Krogers toward Cherry Tree. After I made the right-hand turn to go toward Chauncey I was at about behind the Esso station when a bunch of guys jumped up in front of me waving their hands and shouting and stopping me. It turns out that I was driving smack toward a patch of concrete roadway being poured there.
A little bit of trivia you might not know is that there is an elephant buried at Whites Addition. It seems that a visiting circus had an elephant die and they ended up burying it there.
Keep up the good work! I will follow it!

As to Cherry Tree itself, during my late "junior" and "high" school days, my good friend Donald Steele's father ran the "Esso" station there. I recall Simon Gore as being "older" and his sister Judy being my contemporary. Cherry Tree was one of those "unauthorized" bicycle trips for me during those days. Donald probably made "unauthorized" trips to Verdunville to court (or attempt to court) Barbara DeWitt who earlier-on was my J.B. Ellis 6th grade classmate.
It seems that Cherry Tree and Thompson Towners went through much the same adventures during those days. I recall that we had a "boy's club" which had a "boxing club" arena in a dirt-floor old wooden garage building there.
Your reference to boxing leads me to recall an incident I had with one of "your" White's Addition fellows. He is Euhl Damron ('60) and was a good friend and a closer friend to Roger "R.B." Avis (Adams?) a younger brother to "Tubby" and Raymond and a '60 guy too. I hung out mostly at the Avis house and Euhl would come to visit there from time-to-time. Anyhow, over a period of time I was urged by Euhl and R.B. to box Euhl. For whatever reason (perhaps that I was bigger than Euhl) I declined for some time. Finally, I said okay and we donned gloves which were always present. Very shortly, I gave Euhl a bloody nose which displeased me immensely but it ended the match. There was never any will between us and we usually laughed about it when it came up.

Robert, I just stumbled onto your site and I enjoy it very much. I am very impressed with your writing skills.
M y name is Douglas Dempsey (LHS Class of '60). I lived on Mud Fork at Thompson Town. We moved there from Latrobe on Buffalo Creek in time for me to do the 6th grade term at J.B. Ellis School. Unless your mother taught that class, I would not have known her, and frankly, I don't know who my teacher was.
I gather that you are Class of '58. I remember some of that class. My 1960 contemporary and good friend Larry Kelly is married to Rose Perovich whom I think is '58. I think my cousins Naaman "Tubby" Adams and Raymond Adams (from Thompson Town) were '58 too. Those fellows are sometimes referred to with a last name of "Avis" for some reason which I never delved into.

My grandfather was Thamer Browning. He was one of the "Browning Brothers" mentioned on your website. I so enjoyed reading your website. Thank you very much for putting it all together.

Where did you get the maiden name of Anna Tarkany as being Stercz? She was a sister to my grandfather, Andrew Stultz. There were five siblings in Anna's family. I'm wondering if they changed the spelling of their name when they came to the US. Although, the rest of the family went by Stultz. My grandfather and grandmother were very active in the Pilgrim Holiness Church at Cherry Tree. I didn't see their name on the list. We visited Sister Hickman and Emma Sexton when they lived in Logan. They lived in an apartment across the street from the old Logan Central Junior High up on the hill.

Just wanted to say howdy!
I love your site and wished you could get more pictures of the other families that lived in the area too. I know that its hard to obtain them. I was just thinking about how nice it would be if others that had pictures or stories that could and would share with you, how wonderful that would be to keep adding to your journal and getting more information and stories about our lives in era of time for others to read, enjoy, and share with their families and friends. I truly love your work and would love to keep in touch and if I can be of help researching anything for you from this area. Please feel free to get in touch with me. I am still looking for information about the Dryers,Sheppard families. I believe that they lived next door to each other in Cherry Tree also the Walsh family the children of Ben and Dora Walsh from fisher bottom. Children Patty, Bobby, Sherman, Maudie and Helen. Helen married into the Sheppard family she married Fred. Which is a struggle to research this family line. There seems to be nothing out there on records for them. Thanks all and especially to you for all your hard work. Thanks a million! Jeanette

I have spent a good deal of my adult life looking for my family on my father's side. I finally found my grandparents, Martha Hannah Clark and Van Buren Clark. My parents were divorced when I was very small and I never knew who my father's family was. Thank you. My father was Paul L. Clark who married Mary Elizabeth Hunt from Alabama.

Hi Bob, Enjoyed your website very much. Learned of it from Sharon Bailey Hurlocker. I never lived in Cherry Tree or Fisher Bottom, but I had an aunt, Ethel Ellis Fambrough, who did live in Fisher Bottom in the '40's. I remember visiting there often. She was a nurse at the old Mercy Hospital, I believe. I lived on Mud Fork in camp 15 and sttended J.B Ellis Elementary around '45 to '49. Your stories bring back a lot of similar memories. A great time in life was lived in WV. I still go back as often as possible.

I so enjoyed your Logan history. I was born in 1942 to Skip and Tootsie Irvin, my grandfather was Boyd Simmons. We lived at 16 High St, Logan. It was the house with the high wall. We lived in front of Hershel and Maude Williamson and next to Ole and Mary Bennett and Jean and Claude White, also their sons Claude Lee and Bill.
I need to dig through old pictures of Logan and get copies made. Hello to everyone and any family or friends that remember me or my family please e-mail. Love!!!!

Thank you for sharing such wonderful memories. I also lived in Cherry Tree when Jerry Johnson thought he could fly!! My grandfather, J.T. Walsh built the home we lived in on what was called the "slate dump" Mary Cornwell was my great aunt and I remember we did not live far from her and I think it was close to the Sampson's. We are related to the Edmonson family and they also lived near by. Glen Paul was at our home often and got into trouble for throwing my little red rocker over the creek bank. But, when you are young you remember the terror of losing you "little red rocker" We later moved to Fisher Bottom into my Grandfathers house when he moved to Ohio. The names of the Walsh family from Fisher Bottom are Flora (my mother),Tennis, Jim (Doc) Juanita, Rowena, Chester, Anna, Nina, Audrey, John and Sue. I love reading all the names and information you have shared. Thanks so much.
