Coal river. Mrs. Absalom Pettry, Hazy Creek. Southern West Virginia.

Event: Historic photo.
This photo was loaned by Glenna Bailey, who remembers Angeline Pettry as a close friend. Angeline, who was elderly when Glenna was a girl growing up in Stringtown (a section of Edwight), was the daughter of Absalom Pettry, whom William Bone describes as a "great blacksmith." Absalom and his brother, Burwell Pettry, were the sons of Jacob and Celie Pettry, founding settlers on Hazy Creek.
