 Grandson Daniel Wills with me at Westfall Hollow, Lewis County, West Virginia in April 2008. This is near the location of Peter Westfall's farm. Peter was my Grandmother's (Osa Westfall Corbett) uncle. |
 The farm house in the background is located on Cove Lick Road in Lewis County, West Virginia. It is very near the location where my great grandparents, Jonathan Nathaniel and Luvenia (Trowbridge) Westfall settled shortly after their marriage in 1880. My great grandfather and family left this place in 1912 for Akron, Ohio . |
 Granddaughter and me at the James Clark McGrew house in Kingwood, West Virginia. James C. McGrew was the brother of my 3rd great grandmother Jane McGrew who married my 3rd great grandfather Samuel Grady Trowbridge. He was one of the men responsible for the formation of West Virginia from Virginia during the Civil War. After the war he served in the U.S. House of Representative. |

 Jolie welcoming me to WV (the University of West Virginia "Flying WV"). She says, "I hope we can do some studying [of] our ancestors. Then, for me she made a collage of photos of our ancestors. I stayed in her room this year and she decorated it just for me. |
 Jay, fifteen and already as tall as I am! May 4, 2009 |
 Jolie has grown some since last year. May 4, 2009 |
 Jolie's art show at her school. This was a fund raiser for a school addition. Guest could purchase a child's art work for $2.00 and have it framed for $5.00. Tonya and Joey bought it and had it framed for Sue and me. |
 Friend and William Wirt Whitsett descendant Susie Jones by the monument and grave of William Wirt, his son Ralph Crawford Whitsett and Ralph's wife Rachel Estep Whitsett, Mount Washington Cemetery, Perryopolis, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, May 9, 2009. Notice the D.A. R. marker on the right at the base of the monument commemorating the Revolutionary War service of William Wirt Whitsett. |
 Several of Ralph's family are buried in this section of the cemetery. The monument has inscriptions on three sides covering part of three generations The Mt. Washington Cemetery is not old enough to have been William and Ralph's original burial place. It is thought they were originally buried on Ralph's farm in Whitsett, Pennsylvania, just north of Perryopolis and moved to Mt. Washington when the coal company bought up much of Ralph's land for company housing. |
 Jay, Jolie and me in front of a "statue" of George Washington, in the city park in Perryopolis. It is not really a statue, it is a photograph of a statue on a plywood backing, but the effect is striking. Behind us a short distance down the hill is Washington Run and Washington's grist mill built in 1774. (May 9, 2009) |
 Same place, same time with Tonya. |
 Our gang on the bank of the creek at Prickett's Fort, a reconstructed 18th century frontier fort common in early western Virginia; this is also a favorite fishing place in Fairmont May 10, 2009 |
 Weston, West Virginia. This was the largest town closest to where my grandmother, Osa Westfall Corbett grew up in Lewis County. May 11, 2009 |
 Tonya in front of the Lewis County Court House in Weston. We stopped here on the spur of the moment to check out Westfall records - there were a bunch. The records room is straight down the hall on the left. Employees in the court house were informative and very helpful. May 11, 2009 |

 Me astride Dollar, a quarter horse owned by neighbor Milo Register, June 14, 2009, Florence, Arizona |
 Friend and neighbor Milo Register on his other horse, a mustang named Cinnamon. Milo grew up on a large ranch in North Dakota owned by his father. He is the genuine article when it comes to cowboys. |
 14 June 2009, Pinal County, north of Florence, Arizona. Superstition Mountain in the background |
 This day I was on Cinnamon. We came across a stolen pickup ditched on state land a couple of miles behind our house. The truck is hidden in the bushes behind me. We followed the tracks from where they had crashed through the steel pole gate at the entrance to the state land for about a mile back into the desert where this picture was taken (17 June 2009). |
 Milo on Dollar. We called the Sheriff's office and waited for a deputy to show up. Although the truck was very near the dirt road in the background, it was invisible from the road because of the bushes. The truck had been stolen the night before in Queen Creek Arizona. The thieves probably didn't think the truck would be found so soon by a couple of old cowboys on horseback! |
 The nice thing about your second childhood is you have better toys!; All dressed up and no train to rob.; Me with Cinnamon the mustang, Max the Irish setter, Sandy the golden retriever and Dollar the quarter horse, Florence, Arizona, 17 July 2009. |
Friends: (L-R) Cinnamon, Max the Irish setter, Sandy the golden retriever, Dollar the quarter horse, Milo Register neighbor - 17 July 2009 our home north of Florence, Arizona |
 This was Milo's last day before leaving for Nouth Dakota for a job interview near to his home, the old Register Ranch north of Sawyer, ND. It was his idea to dress me up in chaps and a six shooter. The dogs Max and Sandy adopted our place as a second home. |
