Good Old Days 

Please Give the Photo a Few Minutes to Load (Large File)



















 

 

 





The year 1947 marked the year for the gathering of family members in the Slate Creek area of Buchanan County. Almost all of the ladies pictured are wearing aprons, as most likely, they were preparing the food for the large gathering of friends and family members. Front row, Alice Keene, Violet Yates and Ruby Walls; back row, from left, Edna McClanahan, Gert Yates, Grace Kirtley, Jackie Keene, Jenny Keene, Gertie Henson, Linda Yates and Eliza Keene. Male members of the family were featured in The Mountaineer's Good Old Days column on January 7 this year. Photo submitted by Caral Daughtery.
