An unnamed correspondent from Harts in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on July 24, 1925:

We are sad at this writing, since our friends are passing away so fast. Uncle Thomas Tomblin, who has been ill so long, died at his home. Uncle Frances Collins died at the home of Sol Adams, Jr.

Sol Adams was seen returning from Logan yesterday.

Harve Smith and Tabor Blair were enjoying the Fourth of July while hunting.

The county road is progressing nicely on the head of Hart.

Squire Adams was seen going toward White Oak with a bundle of papers. Wonder where he was going?

Lindsay Blair has quit the county road and gone to 18 mine to repair cars.

A correspondent named “Pedru” from Whirlwind at Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on February 23, 1923:

Mr. Hubert Adams of Monaville has been visiting friends and relatives on Hart this week.

Miss Katie Baisden became the bride of Mr. Golden Bumgarner on Wednesday, the ceremony being at the home of the bride’s parents. We wish the happy couple much success and joy.

Wonder why the girls enjoy riding with Wilburn Mullins so well? He surely has a good saddler.

Ratio must be thinking of matrimony. He is wearing a thinking cap.

Mr. Reece Mullins and Mr. James Bryant have been visiting the sick on Three Forks.

Some daily happenings—Wayne and his pipe; Farabel C. and her spectacles; Ina D. and her overalls; Peter Carter making toothpicks; Jim Bob inquiring about Alvis; Harve Smith and his fox hounds.

A correspondent named “Bluebird” from Whirlwind at Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on February 16, 1923:

Quite a number of people are on the sick list in this vicinity at this time.

Grover Adams has been busily engaged in the hunting business this winter.

Sol Adams of Mount Gay has been visiting relatives on Hoover recently.

Wonder if James Robert has ever let Pusher Blair ride his grey anymore?

The singing school on Trace is progressing nicely.

Victoria and Joe Kirk were out horseback riding Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. John H. Mullins have been visiting relatives on Hart.

Mr. Samuel Vance of Twelve Pole was a business visitor to this community recently.

Mr. Pete Dalton was calling on Mrs. Mollie Robinson recently.

Harve Smith and John Fillinger have been having some fine sport fox hunting this winter.

Everybody has been wondering what has become of Ichabod Crane.

Van Mullins of this place is at Cherry Tree on the sick list. We hope that he will soon recover and return home.

Bud Richards is going into the mercantile business near the mouth of Smoke House.

Ratio. Don’t be afraid. The bull dog won’t hurt you.

The following list of Logan County marriages for the period of 1893 to 1900 reveals the names of preachers operating in the Harts Creek area. The source for this material is “Marriage Record 2 (1892-1913),” pages 2-146, which is located at the Logan County Clerk’s Office in Logan, WV. Many thanks to the county clerks and their employees who have always been so helpful to my research these past twenty-five years.
