In 2005 I came through War, Welch and the little towns and I was completely amazed. I was born in Williamson, WVA, but moved with my family to Washington State. WVA is a beautiful state.

Comments:I am trying to get in contact with the family of Harley (David) Harless, who served in Vietnam - USMC - and was killed on Feb 12, 1976 in Iaegar, WV. From newspaper accounts, it appears to have happened at a place called the Palace Cafe. However, I can not find any information on relatives (mother, father, sister/brother,etc) that may still be living.

I am Director of Research for the Vietnam Dog Tag Project - we have approx. 400 dog tags found in Vietnam and we are trying to return them to their owners. I believe that one of the dog tags I have belongs to Harley and would like to get it back to his family.

For more information about the project, etc go to http://www.powmiaawareness.org and click on DOG TAG PROJECT. Any assistance you can provide to help me get in touch with Harley's family is greatly appreciated

Kind Regards

Subject: Family tree

Hello Rev Mullins,
I know you don't know me, I ran across your name on the internet while searching for some info on my family tree.
My mother's maiden name was Mullins. She was born in Ieager, WV in 1940 to Clarence Richard Mullins and Hester (?) Mullins. My info is very limited, I'm afraid. My mother is still living, thankfully, however, she doesn't have much info on her own mother or very many memories as her mother wasn't around while my mother was growing up.
I do know that my Grandfather (PaPa) had a brother named Jim. My mother has a brother Neil. A sister Shirley. These siblings are still alive and living in Florida. There were others that are now deceased: Patricia, Harold (Sonny), Roger.
PaPa had a sister named Lola and one named Gertrude. I can only assume my PaPa and his siblings all came from WV.
If you have ANY info on this branch of the Mullins family tree, I would certainly appreciate it in advance. Maybe you can tell me where to search? Oh! Btw, my great-grandfather was Albert Mullins. I knew him as Paw as a child.

Again, thank you

Comments:A friend sent me this info that I did not have. I appreciate knowing War History and do research McDowell County, WV.
My friend said, War, WV has such a rich cultural history. I especially love researching the histories of the local churches and the families who began then. I know with Christ the King Catholic Church, it began as early as 1907 as a "mission" church from the parent church in Berwin, WV known as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was officially sold by the Catholic diocese of WV in 1949, and is now a Pentecostal church.
Christ the King began as a mission church, and was built for a price of $4,873. In 1932, a fire destroyed the front of the church, and in 1942 the present day Christ the King was remodeled completely for a price of $7,534. The original members of Christ the King were of Italian, Hungarian, and Polish descent.
The Italian members actually built most of the church from stones that came from near by mine blastings. The Hungarian and Polish members created religious painting and stain glass windows for the church. Overall, it has a very interesting history as each family that goes there has their own story to tell describing how each family helped in some way. Today, there are many nationalities that worship there: German, English, Russians, and good Americans who dont know their heritage (LOL), along with the original Italian, Hungarian, and Polish families.

Comments:Greetings from NC! What a great site! Much info with reliable links. The WV archives page with select birth, marriage and death records from Mcdowell County is a very valuable resource. I am so pleased that someone actually took all that time to scan so, so many records for our pleasure. I'm also so grateful for all the hard work put into this Mcdowell Co. website. I can't thank eveyone enough for all the time taken for us small time geneaologists to research our backgrounds and families. Though, I would love to see the queries page up and running again. It would be nice to run into someone who may know or had known someone from the family I am researching. HEZEKIAH (HESS) MYERS OR MEYERS, MINNIE GRAY SMITH MYERS OR MEYERS AND CHILDREN RALIEGH SMITH, ENNIS LEE SMITH GULLETT, CHARLIE SMITH, BULAH L. MYERS, SALUDA; SOFA OR SARILDA JANE MYERS DAY, SAMUEL EDWARDS MYERS, WOODROW MYERS AND BEATRICE MYERS; LOUISA GRAY WRIGHT TOWNSEND, ESTHER JANE WRIGHT. Most of these people were not native or even born in Mcdowell area, but had moved there from Tennesee or North Carolina, to work in the coal mining industry. This family stayed and most have died there and are buried in Roderfield at the Iaeger Memorial Cemetery. I have noticed they lived in Caretta, Roderfield and Iaeger areas. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again, and keep up the great work u have done!

Comments:This is a great site, but so much of McDowell County is being left out.

Remember the Gary Country Club, where anybody that could swing a golf club made sure they played there. The golf course is still there, but the club house, pool and everything around the pro shop is gone. That is where I learned the meaning of working for an honest pay, caddying and carrying two bags for 18 holes for $3.60 and if the golfers were generous they tipped so you could walk away with $5.00 for a half-days work. Very seldom went out twice in one day but sometimes that would happen.

SKYGUSTY, is where that club was located and that is where I grew up. Went to SKYGUSTY Elementary School, Grades 1 through 6, then on the bus and down to Gary High School. I was there until the end of 10th Grade and my family moved to Florida. Would have graduated there in 1973 and did but from a high school in DeLand, Florida.

I call Florida home now but have never forgotten the life in the mountains there in SKYGUSTY, WV. My dad is buried there, as are most of my aunts and uncles, my grandparents and just about every one else from that area.

So much to write, so many memories, time nor space allows but ....If you know me, write at the above address... If you would like to know me, write at the above address... If you know someone that I might know, write to me and let's get to know each other... If you want to borrow money, then stop at the bank, and remind me to tell you what me dad used to say about lending money... I can also be located at www.facebook.com look me up and give a shout there.
