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.
To help our viewers who may be interested in the book we have published on the Napier Family "THOMAS F. NAPIER AND HIS WIFE, HANEY (SMITH) NAPIER", we have decided to add a complete listing of the index for this book. The list is quite long, as the book documents about 50,000 persons. The file will take some time to load, so be patient. It is in PDF format, which will require you to have Adobe Reader. If you do not have it installed on your computer, you can download it free from the internet. To view the file, click here.
