FARRA             In late August or early September of 1932, Charles Washington Farra was found dead on the railroad tracks in West Williamson, WV. He was my grandfather and I am looking for any additional information that can be found. Howard Osburn sent me articles from the WC News, but there are still some unanswered questions.
