Hi! I'm Bonnie Beck. My Great, great grandfather, H.W. McKibben, founded Belpre in Edwards County. I have a stack of letters written to his daughter-in-law, Olive May Denny-McKibben, from her childhood friend Lucy B. Prior. I have located lots of McKibbens, and Lucy B. Prior, in the Belpre cemetary. (Actually, I remember a few trips to the cemetary myself as a very young child) Lucy seems to have died when she was a teen. I am hoping that someone knows a little bit about her or her family. I would be willing to share scans of the letters. They are fascinating and full of pioneer history. Mostly written in the early 1880s. Thanks for any help!
