The every name index to Volume I - 3 of journals, prepared by Jean Womelsduff, is ready. Several of you have written and indicated that you want a copy. You will be notified to send your money in when it is time to make the copies. If you have not notified the ARFHS that you want a copy, please send a note NOW attention David Armstrong. This will be a ONE TIME run and only the number of copies ordered will be printed. Why not donate one to your local library? The cost will be $15.00 per copy. Please do not send money now. Notify David Armstrong that you want a copy and you will be contacted when it is time to place your order. And remember as of now the secretary and archivist do NOT have a copy of the index, so please do not write for copies of certain pages or names from it. Thanks again to Jean Womelsduff for her fine work in preparing this valuable index!

ARFHS dues are due in March, but we are not too proud to take payment in advance! This helps us calculate how many members we will have when it is time to mail the March issue of the journal. This is the last issue you will receive before it is time to renew.

Gideon Draper Camden was a son of Rev. Henry Camden and a brother of Lenox Camden whose Civil War era home was at the sight of the new Elkins High School.

It has been brought to my attention that some folks have submitted articles etc. or queries for the journal and that these have not ran. For this I apologize! I have not intentionally ignored anyone. But there is a black hole of correspondence and paper on my desk. Some day I'll clean it up and find Amelia Earhart. Anyway, if I missed someone please notify me and send your material again - you are important to the group! -from the Editor

The old Stalnaker log cabin formerly located on the east side of Route 219 opposite the Bruce Hardwood Floors plant, south of Beverly, has now been moved and is partly re-assembled on the back lot of the Randolph County Historical Society museum building in Beverly. We commend the Historical Society for the preservation of this fine example of pioneer architecture.

It is known that several members are interested in the Stalnaker family. Would anyone want to submit some history of this old house for a future journal?????
