(WCN - 1/8/1965) Dedication Of Wayne PO Set For January 30

Congressman Ken Hechler has asked the Post Office Department to schedule the formal dedication of Wayne's new post office for January 30.

"I did this because January 30 is the birthday of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR did so much for Wayne County and West Virginia that I think it is very appropriate that the dedication should be held on the birthday of this great President," Hechler commented.

(WCN - 1/29/1965) Over $4,000,000 Set In This Year For East Lynn Dam

"I am overjoyed at President Johnson's decision to include 4.1 million dollars in his 1966 budget to build the East Lynn dam and reservoir" stated Representative Ken Hechler.

Congressman Hechler said the 22.5 million dollar East Lynn project could now be completed by late 1968. He said that relocation of Route 37 to bypass the dam and reservoir, would start in June and that the big contract for the outlet work of the dam itself will be awarded in September.

"The Federal expenditure of 4.1 million dollars is probably the largest expenditure ever scheduled for Wayne in one year", Congressman Hechler said, "what's more, this amount will be doubled for each of the following two construction years." We predicted, "This is a tremendous breakthrough for this project which will help transfer Wayne County into a great garden spot for fishing, hunting and recreation, as well as protecting homes, businesses and places of worship from the repeated floods along Twelvepole Creek".

Congressman Hechler also expressed elation over the 80 thousand dollars which President Johnson included in his budget to complete the advance engineering and design on the 12.4 million dollar Beech Fork dam and reservoir. He pointed out that Congress still has to appropriate these funds, but he indicated that if anything, Congress will increase rather than reduce the amount in the President's budget.

For example, he said, the President last year recommended only 100 thousand dollars to start advanced engineering and design on the Beech Fork project and "after some good testimony presented by C. W. Ferguson III, and others, we managed to increase that to 150 thousand dollars by the time the bill got through Congress."

In the case of the Beech Fork Dam and Reservoir, Congressman Hechler indicated that the Fairchild Aerial Surveys Corp. had completed its contract for photographing the area. These photos are now being used as the basis for preparing topographic maps by the Corps of Engineers. Until these maps are completed, it will not be possible to draw a precise line as to which properties must be acquired. A contract for core drilling and foundation investigations will be awarded by the Corps of Engineers in March. Bids for this contract will be advertised at the end of this month.

The Beech Fork structure, which will cost $12.4 million to build, will be located between Lavalette and Bowen below the mouth of Miller's Fork.

(WCN - 2/24/1965) Paper Mill In County Reported

Prospects for a paper mill in Wayne County grew brighter this week with a feasibility report going to two major paper companies seeking sites for new plants. The report, made by Battelle Memorial Institute, finds that sites near Fort Gay and Prichard have good potentials. A $23 million plant is projected.

Both of the recommended sites combine excellent locations with regard to timber resources with strategic positions on the Big Sandy River and with rail and highway facilities also available. By paper industry standards, the plants would be relatively small but designed to operate with maximum efficiency in the area. Employment opportunities for between 330 and 350 persons would be possible with some 28 salaried specialists being brought in from outside the area.

The report states:

"Several grades of paper can be made primarily from the hardwood species comprising the predominant amount of wood volume in the area. Study of the market potential for these grades indicates that production of sanitary tissue offers the most promise.

"A 150 ton per day sulfate pulp mill, paper mill and converting plant is analyzed. This facility is smaller than many that have been used in the industry to date. However, a mill of this size would be more compatible with the market that appears to exist and would not place undue pressure on water or wood resources.

". . . These figures indicate that there would be a profit for the plant operated on either a 250 or 350 days per year basis. The rate of return on equity after taxes varies from 6.9 per cent to 10.4 per cent assuming approximately $5,000,000 of the $23,000,000 capital requirement be borrowed.

"The Fort Gay site is a 103-acre site on a bend of the Big Sandy River immediately north of Fort Gay. The site is bordered by the Norfolk & Western Railway. Electric power would be available from the Appalachian Power Co . . . No use of gas is planned for the synthesized mill. There is also very little danger of flooding. The indicated price for tile site is approximately $1,000 per acre . . . The site is located relatively close to Fort Gay and Louisa and the odor from the mill could be unpleasant.

"The Prichard site is also on the banks of the Big Sandy River but several miles farther downstream. The location consists of a 70-acre site and 40-acre site both of which are owned by the Norfolk & Western Railway . . . The recently quoted prices for these sites are $62,000 for the 70 acres and $30,000 for the 40 acres . . . The lack of major population centers immediately adjacent to the site should tend to reduce any local resistance because of possible air pollution difficulties."

(WCN - 4/14/1965) Wayne County History Notes

Mrs. Garnet Pelfrey of Point Pleasant, reveals her interest in her native County by collecting interesting and historical facts concerning Wayne County and we appreciate her contribution to the paper. We think it makes very interesting reading.

The first land survey was made within this county by George Washington in October, 1770, and it contained a track of 28,927 acres, including the Ohio bottoms above the mouth of Big Sandy River. It was bounty land belonging to Captain John Savage and the men composing his company, for services rendered during the French and Indian War.

The first settler near the forks of the Big Sandy appears to have been Samuel Short, who built his cabin where the town of Cassville later stood in 1796. Next to follow was Robert Tabor in 1797, he patented a tract of 2,500 acres. A man named Nevens was the first to locate on the head waters of Twelve Pole Creek in 1799. In the next year about a dozen more moved in to become neighbors to Mr. Nevens.

In 1802 a man by the name of James Bias set his cabin at the month of Lick Creek on the banks of Twelve Pole Creek. David Bartram came the next season, followed by John Thompson, who built the first distillery in Wayne County. Other pioneers were John Newman, Benjamin Drown, afterward a soldier in the War of 1812. The first grist mill on Twelve Pole was built by Chester Howe. Other pioneers were Valentine Bloss, who was a soldier of the Revolutionary War, Benjamine Garrett, William Morris, Charles Boothe, another soldier of the War of 1812, Jake Amos, Joshua Stevens, John Savage, (who was drummer boy in the command of General Lafayette), Joseph Dean and Burwell Spurlock.

Wayne County was formed from Cabell in 1843 and named in honor of General Anthony Wayne, ("Mad Anthony" of revolutionary fame.) The first County Court was held at the home of Abraham Trout, Sr., who lived on what was then known as Trout's Hill, which was made the county seat. Thout's Hill later became Wayne and it is still the county seat.

Ceredo & Wayne were the chief towns of the county. Ceredo was founded an 1857 by Eli Thayer, a member of Congress who hailed from Massachusetts. He bought the land from Thomas L. Jordon while visiting a friend by the name of Albert G. Jenkins on the banks of the Ohio River.

Mr. Thayer named the town Ceredo in honor of the goddess Ceres, because of its' bountiful crops.

At this point, Mrs. Pelfrey, points out that a couple lived at Ceredo, who is believed to hold the record in West Virginia for having twins. Mr. and Mrs. Lot M. Wellman were the parents of five sets of twins (in addition to six other children). Mrs. Pelfrey states that she believes the descendants of this family are still living in Wayne County, and some even in Ceredo, as far as she can find.

Mrs. Pelfrey also sent in some interesting facts on the history of West Virginia.

The first brick pavement laid in the world was at Charleston in 1870 by Dr. J. P. Hale, who was mayor of the city at that time. He also introduced English sparrows into the U. S. A. about the same time.

The first electric railroad in the world built as a commercial enterprise was constructed between Huntington and Guyandotte.

The first boat propelled by steam was built in West Virginia in 1784. Just 14 years after the first locomotive was constructed, the railroad entered West Virginia from Baltimore to Harper's Ferry, in 1828.

When the State of West Virginia was admitted to the Union in 1863 it had a population of 376,688.

The only high school in the United States having a real pottery class using commercial clay with both firing and drying kilns, throwing machine, jiggers, moulds, etc., is in Wheeling, W. Va. A great many schools have clay modeling but this is entirely different from pottery.

The first battle of the Civil War was fought in West Virginia.

The cannon balls which enabled Commodore Perry to defeat the British fleet on Lake Erie were made by patriotic West Virginians from ore in the mountains.

The largest conical mound built by prehistoric race is located at Moundsville.

The first battle of the Revolutionary War was fought at Point Pleasant in 1774 and the last battle of the Revolution was fought at Wheeling in 1782. I like to think that this fact alone testifies to the fierce desire of mountain men to live in liberty and may we express the fervent prayer that this desire may never be extinguished.

(WCN - 5/5/1965) East Lynn Dam Construction Slated To Start Next Month

U. S. Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-W. Va) announced this week that initial construction work on the $22.5 million East Lynn Reservoir in Wayne County, West Virginia, is due to begin soon with the relocation of some sections of State Highway 37.

"With this first phase of the project underway, I am told that the major construction can be started in fall," said Byrd.

"This flood control project is urgently needed and should serve as a stimulus to attracting economic development to Wayne and surrounding counties."

The Army Corps of Engineers notified Byrd that they expect to advertise for contractors bids on the road relocation about May 21. The bids are tentatively set to be opened on June 22 with a contract award expected within 10 days thereafter.

A work period of 450 days has been set by the Army Engineers for the complete relocation of the 3.5 mile section of State Highway 37 as it extends southeast of Wayne. The two lane asphalt pavement will cross Lick Creek. A three-span steel bridge with a reinforced concrete deck for a 26-foot wide roadway and 168 feet in length will be constructed for the crossing.

Byrd said he was informed that contracts will probably be awarded in fall for construction of the dam. Byrd, who is a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for Public Works, said that $500,000 was appropriated in Fiscal year 1965 to begin the Construction and another $4.1 million is included in the FY 1966 appropriations for further work.

The dam is to be located on the East Fork of Twelvepole Creek near East Lynn. It will control a drainage area of 138 square miles. As planned, the dam will be an earth filled structure, 110 feet high and 670 feet long. A seasonal pool at elevation 863 with a surface area of 1,400 acres will be maintained from May through September for recreation and fish wildlife purposes.
