1909
Description:
From "Beckley U.S.A." by Harlow Warren, p. 395, vol. 2. In book: "This is another of those 'Sunday afternoon' pictures when young folk delighted in gang strolls and picture taking. Also at a time when Crow was Raleigh County's largest community and stood fair, in the minds of many, to inherit the Seat of County Government. Crow had a large lumber mill and railroad, (the first in the county) connecting Glade Creek with Beckley. Back row: Emmett Akers, Arminta Kingrey, Anna Ratliff (Mrs. Clarence Neely), Lena Akers sister of Emmett (now postmistress at Crow, W. Va.). Front row: Alice Underwood, Carl Cockran, Madge Scott (Tissue), and Everet Ellison" (p. 395). On back of portrait: "(Clarence Neely) killed a Oliver Hick."
