Henderson and M.H. Liming. The Methodist church in the background still exists in 2014 (the steeple was later removed). The house at far right was owned by Harley Staggers' family, later owned by Kenneth and Louise Wiley (it was demolished in the 1980s). Also, the building farthest in the background is a grist/sawmill built by John Rion Robinson, a civil war veteran and great grandfather of Jim Slade, a well known Morgantown resident. Few, if any of the other structures are extant, and a coal mine access road now occupies the hill in the background, which is heavily forested. See original for full note on back of photograph.
