Whipple Company
Store painted white
|
|
"Dennis, I have just returned home from my
visit to the Whipple Company Store and I
have a question I hope someone can answer for me. Does anyone
remember where the doctor's office was situated in the company
store? Unfortunately I have floor plans that do not place the
office. I have been told that the doctors office was there. Any
information would be so helpful. I also have an old photo of the
building painted white. Anybody
remember this? I will be painting back to that color in April of
2007. If anyone is visiting the area please feel free to visit as
the store will be open to the public during the restoration
process.. April 15- Oct 1 2007." |

Main Street Oak Hill 1920
|
|
"A picture of a picture that I took in Tudor's
Biscuit World in Fayetteville back in Dec. It is of Main Street and
Central Ave. Oak Hill with a 1918 Franklin automobile parked in
front of where BB&T Bank is now. The hotel is long gone. (Walter
Caldwell's picture disk probably has a copy of this picture on
it but I am not sure) The picture was probably made about 1920." |

In 1920 the first
annual first aid meet was held by the Department of Mines at
Charleston. The first concerted action of West Virginia in the
International First Aid Contest resulted in the Scarbro Team of the
New River Company carrying off the championship. The Mine Rescue
Team from Scarbro took sixth place in mine rescue work; and at the
International First Aid and Mine Rescue Contest at St. Louis,
Missouri, on September 1, 2, 3, 1921, the White Oak Team of the New
River Company won the international championship for mine rescue
work, thus bringing to West Virginia both championships in
successive years. |
