  • Hampshire County Library Index of History & Genealogy Files
    HAMPSHIRE COUNTY LIBRARY INDEX OF HISTORY & GENEALOGY FILES Editor’s Notes The Hampshire County Library has been in existence since the American Legion Auxiliary assumed the project in 1935. The site of the library moved from the basement of the courthouse to the first floor of the old Literary Hall to the second floor of the courthouse. In 1967, the current library on Main Street was dedicated. The genealogy room began under the efforts of Mrs. R. M. Golladay. Over the years the responsibility for answering genealogy requests have moved from Mrs. Golladay to Miss Mary Pugh to Vickie Horton. Currently there is no one to perform this task. With the beginning of computer technology and online searches like Ancestry.com, have made personal on-site research somewhat obsolete. Yet, people still continue to visit the second-floor room overlooking the ground floor of the library. Few responses from Mrs. Golladay are seen in the files. Miss Mary Pugh, my 7th grade Geography teacher, genealogy mentor, and friend, took control of the genealogy room and organized the files, books, and other resources. The room is dedicated to her. She returned hundreds to letters and provided answers in her small, faint, pencil-written notes. They are difficult to see but you will know they are hers. Vickie Horton, who produced a number of resource books for records of Hampshire County followed Miss Pugh and was prolific in her answering of genealogical request. Nowadays research has turned to the internet but there may be some little “nuggets” of information within the files at the library.

  • Hardy County Water Resources Assessment
    Final HARDY COUNTY WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT Prepared for the Hardy County Commission Prepared by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service WV Conservation Agency April 2004 The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in its programs on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, and marital or familial status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact the USDA Office of Communications at (202) 720-5881 (voice) or (202) 720-7808 (TDD). To file a complaint, write the Secretary of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., 20250, or call (202) 720-7327 (voice) or (202) 720-1127 (TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity employer. Cover photo by Tim Ridley Executive Summary This Water Resources Assessment was commissioned by the West Virginia Conservation Agency for the Hardy County Commission. The Natural Resources Conservation Service provided technical support and contractual services. The report provides information that will aid in planning and development of water resources in Hardy County as the county grows and expands. Of particular interest are the groundwater resources, springs, and the ability of municipal systems to meet current and future water demands. Chapters 1 through 3 contain descriptive information about Hardy County. This information is based on the latest census reports and other appropriate references, supplemented by information from local planners. There is detailed, analytical information in Chapter 4 regarding the springs, wells, and groundwater resources in the county. Because so many of the county residents are dependent on groundwater, and the poultry industry is completely dependent on wells, this portion of the report may be the most valuable to local planners.

  • Places to Visit in the Potomac Highlands
    AAppendixppendix AA:: AAdditionaldditional IInformationnformation AAppenppenddixix AA1:1: PPlaceslaces ttoo VVisitisit iinn tthehe PPotomacotomac HHighlandsighlands BY BETH SEE GETTING THERE The Potomac Highlands is approximately 2 hours from the DC Metro Area and 2 hours from Pittsburgh, PA and 3 hours from Charleston, WV. I-81 is 20 minutes from Hardy County; I-79 is 30 minutes from Randolph and Tucker counties; I-48 is 30 minutes from Mineral County; I-64 is an hour from Pocahontas County and I-81 through Harrisonburg is 35 minutes from Pendleton County. All roads into the highland area offer spectacular views, quaint towns and places to lodge and get good food. ESTIMATED LENGTH The entire trip through the highland counties is less than 300 miles. ESTIMATED TIME 4-5 days to take in most major sites, but one day will allow for a good look at one to two counties. HIGHLIGHTS Each county has unique and wonderful features. As I studied the history of the Potomac Highlands, it became apparent that county boundaries matter little when you are in this area. It does not matter that the stream you are fishing or the trout or bass you catch is in Pendleton, Hardy, Grant or any other county. All counties offer spectacular views, water and waterfalls, historic sites and good places to stay and dine. I tried to capture as much of each county as possible in the space provided, but there are many other places I did not get to mention and once you start exploring the Potomac Highlands, you will discover and uncover treasure upon treasure and you will plan return adventures.

  • Crossing the South Branch in Hampshire County by Eph Herriott, Part 2 Crossing at Romney
    Crossing the South Branch in Hampshire County, A History of Our Bridges Crossing the South Branch in Hampshire County by Eph Herriott, Part 2 Crossing at Romney The first bridge on the South Branch just west of Romney was built in 1838.28 The South Branch Intelligencer indicated that a second bridge was built in this same time frame after the first was recently built and destroyed (Figure 14). These were wooden covered bridges as shown by a Civil War sketch (Figure 15). ` Figure 15 The Romney Bridge Skirmish – Harpers Illustrated, July 6, 1861 The covered bridge was burned by the Confederates early in Figure 14 First Bridges at Romney the Civil War, February, 1862.29 General Loring ordered the bridge be destroyed. Lieutenants John Blue and Ike Parsons along with a black Confederate burned the bridge. Being of pine construction and a wooden shingle roof, the bridge was destroyed in about 20 minutes after being set afire. A Whipple/Murphy iron truss bridge of two 176 foot long by 20 foot wide spans with wood decks was built in 1874.30 This design using pins rather than rivets allowed quick assembly as well as the ability to be readily disassembled and moved to another location. The winning bid was $10,000 from T. B. White and Sons of New Brighton, Pennsylvania.31 With the contract being let in April and the bridge finished the following October, the construction was indeed quite rapid. A May 1875 notice shows the county selling wire cable from the ferry that had operated near the Romney Bridge.32 Ferry service across the South Branch at Romney must have been available for at least 28 Fint, p.
