'Probably Irene Bucher Gorby on the porch. This home was sold to Wilbur Jacob McColloch and Mildred Gorby McColloch in 1929. The house to the left was owned by J. W. Postlethwaite. It was later raised by 8-10 feet to be out of floods which plagued New Martinsville in the early 20th Century. Flood waters never invaded the Poslethwaite living area, but reached to 8 feet in the living room of 714 Maple Ave., the window behind Mrs. Gorby. This photo is about 1908 when the Gorby's were married.'
