My Dad, D. Riley Gain; Mother, Lelia (Hill) Gain, and me. I had just returned home from my second tour in Korea. Home was at the mouth of East Run and Big Flint, Doddridge Co., WV. Photo by Howard R. Gain - Spring 1959.

 

The same store building as that on the right. The rubble was the home in which I was born on Feb 14, 1930 in minus 30-degree weather.

Our First Store Building on Big Flint, Doddridge County, WV, at mouth of Neds Run. I was born in the house to the left of the store (not visible in picture) on February 14, 1930.

The horseshoe pitcher is my Dad, David Riley Gain - He was a champion!

Site of the one-room school which I attended 1935-1938. I walked around the hill above the store and past a huge sugar maple tree for about 200 yards to Alpha School. The school building stood at the below site.
