  • Marion County in the Making
    Foreword In presenting this history of pioneer Marion County, the Class of 1916 of the Fairmont High School wishes to make known to the public the object of this effort and to acknowledge its indebtedness to all who have so kindly assisted in the work. The past, present and future are indissolubly joined. We of this feverish twentieth century are mightily concerned as to the present and the future, but are in great danger of forgetting the past, without which we can neither understand the present nor prepare for the future. The days when in the long winter evenings the family gathered about the fire and listened eagerly to the tales of adventure, of hardship, of redskins, of goblins and of ghosts, handed down from one generation to another—those days are gone never to return. In this day we read the evening paper by our electric light and think only of the morrow. Of our grandfathers' and our great-grand fathers' time we know little or nothing. From written history we may learn of the pioneer life of New England and of old Virginia, but of the deeds and lives of our own ancestors we of Marion County are most ignorant. Some such realization as this prompted the Class of 1916, Fairmont High School, to undertake the collection and preservation of this most interesting and valuable unwritten history—history that was lived right here in Marion County. The great object in the preparation of this book has been to gather up new material. Information on such subjects as dress, manners and customs, homes and homelife, remedies and superstitions, songs, legends, etc., found in published accounts has not been used.

FOREWORD. For several years it has been my effort to assemble the names of the de­ scendants of William Wilson and Elizabeth Blackburn, who settled finally in what is now Hardy County, West Virginia. The task has been an arduous one with many discouragements, but after much labor it is here presented in the best form pos­ sible under the circumstances. It was my main purpose merely to assemble the names of which there are now over 7,200. It is my guess, (not even an estimate,) that at least 1,500 are not yet included. Many of the "children" disappeared in the early part of the eigh­ teenth century and no further traces have been found. A word as to the accuracy of this list. Please remember all had to be ac­ cumulated by correspondence. In many cases no replies were received and informa­ tion had to be gathered from the best available sources. Very often the data were given from memory. Many of the dates and the spelling of the names have been changed three or four times as later information would come in.

  • Logan Circle Heritage Trail
    A Fitting Tribute LOGAN CIRCLE HERITAGE TRAIL Th e 170s mansions of Union Army leaders gave this neighborhood its original elegance. Later, its proximity to Howard University brought well-heeled African American families. Th ough urban ills eventually drove many residents away, those who remained were joined by newcomers in the 1970s to begin a new chapter. Walk their history as you explore Logan Circle. Welcome. General John A. Logan, rendered in bronze in Logan Circle’s center, could tell a tale or two. The elegant mansions around the park rose soon after the Civil War. Later, housing shortages and neighborhood decline turned them to rooming houses and even brothels. But today they shine again. Prosperity has also returned to 14th Street. Once notorious for its “ladies of the night,” it now bustles with theater- and restaurant-goers. Follow A Fitting Tribute: Logan Circle Heritage Trail to explore the neighborhood’s transformation. This keepsake guide summarizes the 15 signs of the city’s 15th Official Walking Trail. 15 Logan Circle, photographed in 1903. Huntington Library © 2014, Cultural Tourism DC All rights reserved.
