Source One is my mother-in-law, Frances Marie Droddy Hamrick, who owned almost all the photos shown on this page and who identified to me most of the people in them.

Source Two are the photos themselves, many of which have original writing on the backs in an old hand. One is of the tombstone of Lum and Belinda Droddy in an unidentified WV cemetery (Vince says Droddy Cemetery).

Source Three are the various U. S. censuses.

Source Four is the Honorable Carol Fouty, whose addenda are in this dark green color.

Above: Frances thought this was John Droddy holding the horses. Standing in the wagon are Margaret and Daniel Droddy themselves. One can only speculate as to whether this was taken before John's short marriage to Eva or when he moved back home after she died.
