That death leaves a shining mark was said long ago and has been demonstrated over and over. But perhaps never more strikingly so than in the subject of this sketch. Garnett Otis Nelson was born June 21, 1890. Entrained for Camp Lee May 25, 1918, and died November 15, 1918. In Camp Lee he was promoted to office of Corporal and in France he became a Sergeant.
In 1907 he completed the free school course, then taught in his home county of Pendleton four years, completed the state normal course at Shepherd College in the class of 1914. Later he attended the West Virginia University and taught in Logan County four years; one year as principal of the Henlawson school and three years as principal of Logan city school.

Just want to say thank you to Franklin Thompson for having a great website. It’s a real pleasure to be able to look at all the pictures and reminisce of days gone by.
Keith, interesting articles that you
have posted. So you were known
as Larry when you were in the
Jr.High School Band in 1965?
You were at Logan East Jr.High?
Bits of History on this website shows
the 1966 LHS Marching Band its on
page two. Where are you in the photo?
Thanks for the comment Bob. Yeah, my name is Larry Keith. At home I was always called Keith. In school and on the job (in later years) people called me Larry. I went to Logan East in the early 60’s and if I remember correctly my 7th grade teacher was Mrs, Fortney. And yeah, I played trumpet in the band with guys like Richard Kazee, and Doug Harris, and the trumpet section was pretty close to the end. I’m not sure, but I think we were about the 3rd or 4th row from the end.
Patty Burdick if your the same lady my kid sister Lorraine McDonald knew in school. Did you live at West Logan. We lived at Peach Creek. My sister is still alive in Columbus, Ohio working at Riverside Hospital. She never married.
I was a member at Central from 1972 – 1974
