He came home to Logan WV on leave and married Jessie Layne on January 3, 1943 in Logan. While in the Army Gilbert served in the Segregated 304 Quarter Master Railhead Corps in WWII. These men took supplies by trucks to the train depot to supply the military fighting units. Sometimes they took mules and horses up mountains to supply the companies.
In regards to the picture of the woman in the Blue & White Polka Dots, her name is Helen Barath, a Hungarian immigrant who resided primarily in Logan. She often rotated around the houses of her daughters, Elizabeth (wife of Dan Augustine and Carl Kneeland), Helen (wife of Coleman Augustine), and Thelma (wife of Lawrence Yeager and Toney Dress). She died in February of 1988 in Kokomo, Ind. and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Pecks Mill.
Regarding photos 1 & 2 at top.
My Uncle Steve Tarkany bought the
truck in 1929. He & Joe Augustine were
in business for three years. Their routes
were in Logan Co. WV & Martin Co. KY.
The woman in the photo is a customer &
she was putting items in her basket that
she wanted to buy.
Both Steve ( 1905- 1949 ) & Joe ( 1906-1985 )
served in the US Army in WWII.
Regarding the photo of Gabor Tarkany
taken in 1958 with a cook in a downtown
Logan restaurant, this is his story.
Gabor was born in Veszprem County Hungary
in 1902 & he arrived with his Tarkany family in
1903 through Ellis Island.
The family went from New York City by train
to Pocahontas, VA. to work in the coal mines.
In 1908 the family moved to Holden,WV.
to work for Island Creek Coal Company.
In 1910 they moved to Whitman where Gabor
went to Whitman Grade School.
The family moved to Yuma, Monahill &
Monaville & Gabor went to the schools
during his early years.
From 1924 to 1928 the family lived in Himlerville KY
where Gabor finished up his schooling.
In 1930 Gabor moved back to Logan County & went
back to work for Island Creek Coal Company.
He lived at Agee’s Boarding House,possible location
might have been on Main St. in Logan.
The restaurant was nearby.
During his life Gabor liked to build Lionel trains
from kits. He also lived to travel & go fishing
with his coal mine friends.
Gabor died in 1959 from a heart attack while fishing
in the Greenbrier River in the town of Neola,WV.
In the pic of the dinner for the Sheriff’s Dept, (pic #8) the deputy number 6, on the left is Gene Gallo, who lived at Holden.
Thank you! I will update the photo. — Admin
Thanks for posting great pictures. I was looking at the #20 Whitman picture and thought I recognized a couple of people, but not sure. The guy in the second row, standing in front of the adult looks like Lawrence Yeager and the last person in the same row looks like Darlene Boyd. I am not sure this is correct, for I don’t know that they lived at Whitman at one time. Hope someone can recognized all of them.
