NOTICE !!!
We have placed an order with the State Department of Archives And History for the manufacturing of a new Highway Marker, honoring Revolutionary War Soldier Hezekiah Adkins. This will be our sixth such sign to be erected. It will take about four weeks to have the sign ready for setting. These signs cost about $1500.00 each and are paid for by personal contributions. We are considerably short on funds for this sign, and would greatly appreciate any donations you might consider making. Checks can be made to WCGHS and mailed to WCGHS, P.O. Box 787, Wayne, WV 25570. Let's get this sign funded and honor another of our great Revolutionary War Heroes.
We now have available a complete set of photographs of every tombstone in the very large Community Memorial Gardens Cemetery. This cemetery is located between Wayne and East Lynn, and is the location where the Corps of Engineers relocated all of the cemeteries which were moved when the East Lynn Lake was built. Burials have continued there on almost a daily basis since that time. An annotated listing of this cemetery is included in our Cemetery Book #4. These photographs are included in a six CD set. For further information click here.
We also have received information that Michael Tabor has completed his work on a book describing life on the Right fork of Camp Creek. The book is entitled "SUNSET ON TABOR FORK." For further information click here.
Recently received by our library was a copy of
a new book entitled "EVERYONE'S A WHITTINGTON" which was written by Sallie
Atkins of Lilburn, GA. This book documents the family of Thomas & Martha
Whittington who lived from the 1740's through the 1830's in the Virginias, and then migrated to
Kanawha and Mason counties of present West Virginia. For further information
