As we all use the West Va. site Ive been reading your messages back and forth, As Ive been to the AFFH center several times, and I live in Texas Ive met the lady who takes care of it most of the time and last year I got there late on Wed and of course it was closed till Sat. However see will come out and open it for people for very little in a fee, I event you need to get hold of her her phone number and name is Janet Isner 304 636 8528 she a very nice person and will bend over backwards to help you. The info your all looking for I dont have, however while I was there I did go to the Elkins Lib. and they have some Gen. stuff but its under lock and key and there not very helpfull, but I suggestyou try there. Also the I O O F Cemetery is real close to the ARFH place and its not in the Cemetery books yet, but the lady at the cemetery was very helpfull and will look up to see who is buried there for you. The name isnt I O O F cemetery now and I cant remember what it is now
called but anyone there can direct you there, Its very large. Hope this might be of some help to you. John F Snelson
