You have an excellent website. My ancestor on my mother's side lived in Wheeling from about 1840 to 1860. I am in the process of writing about their lives and have found much helpful information on your site. I am also ordering separately one of your historical publications.

I enclose a photo of James Parker who owned the tavern where the meeting was held where the first community officers were selected. He lived into Wheeling from about 1840 until his death in 1855. He is buried in the Dundee Road Cemetery.
