Braxton County People
Can you help us identify these Braxton County Citizens?
I have two photos that were in a box of photos from my grandmother's house.
She was from Calhoun County, but my grandfather was from Braxton County. The
met in Nicholas County and were married there. It is possible the people are
from Calhoun County. One is of a man, woman and child.
The other is a young
man and on the back is written SEARS (Siers?). We have no idea who they are
but guess them to have been taken in early 1900's as they are on Post Cards.
Have had them printed in a couple of county newsletters but no one came
forward.

There may be some Wines or VanKirks in the picture.

This picture was taken in front of the
Exchange Bank in Burnsville, WV. I don't know anyone in the picture. The picture was given to me by Wally Hefner a few years ago to see if I new any one. The picture has a group of people standing around two men with a large catfish on a pole, I would love to know who they are.

A group of school children, including my grandmother, Julia Della Perrine. She is in the 8th grade
- back row - 3rd from left - tall wearing a hat. One of her teachers
was Mr. Jim Prunty. It is not known if he is in the photo. We know the
school was in Braxton Co. near Cedar Creek - possibly the Sunrise School
in either Exchange or South Fork (?). I believe the photo was taken in
about 1912. I would like some help in identifiy the school and its
location based on the students who are in the picture. The school
building itself is not shown. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
