Bemis & Glady West Virginia: A History of Two Mountain Towns

This narrative uncovers the exciting history that gave rise to the towns of Bemis, Glady, Flint, Montes, Woodrow and Morribell and, eventually, their decline. Local cemetery, marriage and census records covering periods from 1865 to the present make this book a genealogist's guidebook into the past. Forty pages of biographies outline the lives of men and women who are the backbone of these communities, providing a crosssection of people who made up the towns. Completely indexed with the most important events, people and places identified. Nearly all information is verified with reputable sources which are identified in detailed endnotes. Three hundred pictures of the towns, people, schools, teachers, trains, mills, mines, bridges and government provide an excellent pictorial sampling of the area. Many of these pictures were uncovered during ten years of research and are presented for the first time in this book. The author is pleased to offer this narrative as his commitment to preserving the history of Bemis & Glady, its settlement by our ancestors, their industrial booms, and other important events.
