I have really enjoyed reading this narrative by Mrs. Adams. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Me too; thanks for Mrs. Adams’ history lesson on early Logan Co. WV.
I have a couple of questions about the huge millstones, and how Godby Crossing gots its name
I have heard the grinding stones for the mill came from Europe. That must have been some task getting them to the hollows of WV.
Was the Crossing in ‘Godby Crossing’ referring to a river crossing, or a roadway crossing?
Frank (Adams), I think you are absolutely right about my teacher being HELEN Peck. My memories sometimes get jumbled with other memories. My senior moments seem to be getting more frequent
I may have met some of your family members though. Were you related to “Nannie” Bennet? Was your mother’s name Lucille? Was your dad’s name Francis?
Yes, Nannie, Lucille, and Francis.
Frank,
I’m trying to figure out if you and I are distantly related. Was your mother’s maiden name Steele? According to G.T. Swain’s History Of Logan County, Nannie and Charlie Bennet only had one child, a daughter married to a Steele and they lived in Texas. Is that correct? Are these your grandparents?
Dodie, you probably had the late Helen Peck as a teacher. I know she taught at East End Grade School for a while, back in the 50′s.
For Fred Casto:
Fred, it sounds like I had a different Florence Peck for my 5th grade teacher. She certainly looked like your grandmother looks in the picture. Wonder if my teacher could have been named for your grandmother? Perhaps a neice?
Florence Peck Adams was my grandmother on my mother’s side. She was the first registered nurse in Logan County.
“Miss Peck” was my 5th grade teacher at Logan Central Grade School. She was an excellent teacher. As I recall, she also taught music at Logan Central. She had beautiful white hair and she was still MISS Peck when she taught me circa 1947-1948.
