  1. The following info was found at familysearch.org and online research. Roger Lee Clevenger was born September 2,1946 in Verdunville,WV. and he died on Sunday October 27,1963 in Logan General Hospital. His car had run off the road and he was thrown out. Dr.Lawrence H. Owsley stated that Roger had Cerebral and Spinal Cord injures and he lived for eight hours dying at 10:08 PM. According to the Yeager Airport Station Weather report at 2PM the weather was about 79 and very muggy. Some people on Facebook have more of this story so hopefully they can add their info to this site. Roger’s father was Thomas Dow Clevenger 1922- 1955. He served in the US Navy in WWII. He married Bessie Baldwin in 1944. Thomas father was Thomas Levi Clevenger 1885 – 1922. He died in a construction accident in Huntington,WV.

  2. RE: Logan Banner article May 31,2018.
    Race issues at LHS. For all you living in
    Logan,please go to page 150 in this
    LHS Guyana. In 1964 LHS Wildcats
    were WV State Champs in Basketball.
    Much can be achieved when everyone
    works together.

  3. I recall the March 1,1963 accident that
    killed Larry Klele. He was racing with
    Tom Woolcox on the Logan Blvd on a
    Friday night at 11pm. He was taken to
    Logan General Hospital where he died
    at 3:45 am.on March 2. He was attended
    by Dr.Chillag. Tom was hurt but he lived
    until March 19th, 1965,dying from the
    injuries.
    Hopefully someone else has better recollection
    of the accident than I do.

      1. Lilee, thanks for the info.
        Not sure why you put 3 weeks interval
        between onset & death as Larry Klele
        died within 4 hours of his injury.
        Logan Blvd. was known as a place for
        kids to do their car racing as was
        three mile curve.
        Maybe someone can find the article
        in an old Logan Banner from 1963.

      2. The other sad part of this story
        is that George Klele who immigrated
        in 1940 from Damascus Syria died
        from a heart attack on March 11,1963.

    2. Toms last name was Woolcock. My understanding was that Tom was driving with Larry Klele going for a late night pizza. A drunk driver crossed the median and caused the crash.

      1. Clarence, thanks for your comments. So did the drunk driver get killed in the crash? If not, was he charged with the murder of Larry? Did fog and rain play a part in the crash? Where on the Logan Blvd. did it happen? Where you at LHS when you heard about the crash? Was it a headon car to car crash? If so why didn’t Tom get killed? You state Tom was driving with Larry, in the same car or racing side by side to go for pizza? Didn’t Tom cross over and hit Larry’s car causing both cars to wreck?

        1. Toms brother and his cousin both of whom I knew when I lived in Logan gave me the info I posted. Larry was in the passenger seat with his feet on the dashboard which helped contribute to his injuries. Tom’s steering wheel both helped him and hurt him. He stayed in the car and lost his spleen and one kidney when he went forward. The wreck was around 11 pm and Larry died about 3:45 am the next morning. Tom died about a year later when his other kidney failed him. The driver of the other car survived, but I could not find out anything about him.
          If you could dig out the Logan Banner story you could probably get all details.
          Toms mom and dad rented the bottom floor of their apartment building on Chestnut and Guyan Streets to us from 55 to about 60. We left Logan for Huntington in June of 61.
          Toms cousin is Sue Elkins. She was Sue Ferguson when I knew her.
          His brother is Charles Woolcock.
          Maybe we can share info as it becomes available. Thank you

          1. Clarence, Larry’s death record is at familysearch.org. Nothing on it about a drunk driver. It was a car to car accident. Given both of their injuries I figure their cars hit and rolled over. Tom’s family might want to contact the WV State Police in Logan, to see if they have the record in their files.

    1. Annette, I recall a Mrs.Anne Maynard,
      Dean of Girls during those years.
      You might want to check LHS
      Facebook Page for help.
