Enos Dial (1897-1981), son of Burbus and Martha Jane (Fry) Dial, was a longtime educator in Lincoln County, WV. According to the 1926 edition of The Llorrac: “He was reared on a farm and followed farming as an occupation until he was eighteen years of age, when he began teaching. His first school was in Logan County. For the past eight years he has been teaching in Harts Creek District, five of his schools having been taught at the same place.” On 29 December 1928, Mr. Dial married Garnett Morris. Based on 1930 and 1940 census records, he and his family lived on the West Fork of Harts Creek.

The Adkins Family, operating out of Wayne County, West Virginia, is one of the Tri-State’s most talented, well-known, and enduring Gospel groups. You can read more about their musical history here: http://theadkinsfamily.waynewv.com/ I’m proud to say their ancestors once lived on the West Fork of Harts Creek in Lincoln County. I met many of them while researching my book, “Blood in West Virginia: Brumfield v. McCoy,” which details some of their family’s rich history. I encourage you to follow their Facebook page. If you enjoy Gospel music, you will not be disappointed. This is one amazing group of musicians. https://www.facebook.com/TheAdkinsFamilyGroup
