| Notes |
- Junior was his middle name.
- I remember as a child when I lived on Cow Run and again when I lived on Rte 87. Erkie Stover running the road grader in Mason County. It was an exciting day when the road grader came by to grade our roads. Erkie would be running the road grader, my Uncle Sam would follow the grader, throwing the bigger rocks off to the side. Uncle Sam's job was making sure that there were no large rocks/tree roots, etc., on the road or in the road ditch. The summer rains would wash away the road if the ditches were full of rocks etc. Erkie was one of the best road grader operators the State of WV ever employed. He in turn taught my Uncle Samuel Miller the trade and for many years Sam worked for the WV Dept of Highways. By the time Uncle Sam started to grade the roads I was grown up and had moved from WV. Later in life I remember him working 18-20 hour days clearing the roads of snow.

| Notes |
- Sometime in 1949 or 1950 it was decided to move the little house that was located in the “long bottom” (meadow) across from the Hoshar Farm. The little house was moved to where the barn, blacksmith shop, well and the main house were located. Grandpa and Grandma Miller would move into this one-room house. The little house was moved in the fall after the crops were brought in. As it worked out it was the week of Thanksgiving that this was to be done. Some of the local men were called into help with this job. Among those present were Melvin Donohew, Cliff Hughes, Lawrence (Bunk) Hughes and who ever else showed up. As a child I remember the house being moved but I thought it all happened in one day. According to Melvin it took place over several days.
The house was jacked up on one side and a skid (log) was rolled under that side. The other side was then jacked up and skids placed under that side. Some how two teams of horses hooked onto skids and the house was moved. The horses were Bird and Bell, Grandpa’s horses, and Doll and Pearl. Dad’s horses. Someway some how the house was finally put on blocks near the well and shop. Eventually Grandpa and Grandma moved into the house. The old barn, house, and the blacksmith shop our gone these days but the little house lives on where it was placed close to sixty years ago.
