Fairmont, Marion County, WV

We found this unknown family photo in my Grandmother's treasure chest of genealogy photos. Why Grandma Contance Warwick McGill had it ... I do not know! The backside was dark and you could barely make "Palatine" scratched into the backside. The old photograph is one of those photographs you see on cardboard type photo-backing. When did they start and end doing photographs like that?

We did a Google search for Fairmont, WV and found some history of Fairmont, Marion County, WV.

Marlinton, Pocahontas Co., WVa

Marlinton, West Virginia is the county seat of Pocahontas county. It was settled in 1749 by Stephen Sewell and Jacob Marlin, first white settlers on the Greenbrier River. An old oak in Marlinton marked the corner of the first land survey made west of the Alleghenies. The survey by Col. Andrew Lewis of lands granted to the Greenbrier Company in 1751 consisted of 100,000 acres of land along Greenbrier River.

Capt. John Robert Warwick Family Photo

Michelle says, "I have a picture of Captain John R. Warwick and his wife and daughter. That is what it says on the back. Someone gave this to us last year. They actually picked it up at an auction (sound familiar) and gave it to us. The original picture totally fell apart, but ... I had it remade.

Insight Into Grandma

Our next letter from John C. McClure, Quincy, Illinois, takes us back to February 16, 1904 as he writes yet another letter to Miss Constance Warwick. Constance received the letter two days later. Before I get into the letter, though, I talked with Bud & Lovina Clark this week and they told me that John C. McClure was some relation of J. L. "Bud" Clark.
