My Grandparents were John Randolph and Flossie Reynolds. Grandad was a Miner. I was little then but I remember the Cooks and believe I was told we were related. I have heard of Massey Coal company's outrageous and completely disgusting actions as well as his relationship with obama scum. I have searched a long time to find folks I knew from childhood, The Cooks Married Bobbi Jo Skeens and had Lana and Carol when we lived there. There were also Cotton Skeens and his family, Judy, Gwen, Boosey, Grover I remember and Jeannie Peters but I don't recall her parents names. In the summer they used to bring big trucks loaded with fruit. Everyone raised gardens and everyone helped one another with canning and apple butter and fruit canning. I remember VanMeters and Workmans and a Varney. I fell in love with a Mimosa tree in one of the yards of the friends of Granny and Grandads that we went to help work up applebutter with. In this horrid time we are experiencing now, I have sought the comfort of childhood memories and long for someway to see the past, maybe in phots or stories. I see this is post is about my home roots and I just had to comment. Thank you for allowing me to do that. Everyone called me Lainnie, my Mothers name is Norma June Reynolds Brumfield. My daddys name was Burkle E Brumfield.I have one Aunt, Eloise (Granny and Grandads youngest Daughter who married Amos Hall.) Both she and Mommy are still living but Daddy and Uncle Ame have gone on to Heaven to be with our Lord and Saviour. I remember the train tracks accross the mountain river that ran down in front of the little row of houses in the tract we lived in. Oh How I Miss Those Days. Thank you, God Bless you and Grant your work to maintain Family History and Burial sites and that you be treated with respect and dignity by those that have been otherwise cruel, disrespectful and have shown themselves to be among the basest of mortals.
