  		Louis William Oneacre Louis Oneacre in front of his drug store on Main St, New Martinsville, WV. I (Phil) believe that it operated there from the early 30's to the late 40's when it then moved to 3rd Ave about 1951 as Oneacre Drug, later becoming Mitchell Drug which closed in the 80's. Notice the proprietor is L W Oneacre and Son. Son is Herbert Oneacre.
  		Louie, Herb, & Phil Oneacre with others. circa 1948. Do you know these people? Louie, Herb, & Phil Oneacre with others that Phil can not name. Based on Phil's approximate age we think this was taken about 1948 on a farm I believe in Monroe County, Ohio. The other 4 men appear to be closely related. Note the covered table in the background - I am sure is is covered with food. Also not the young man with a transistor radio to his ear.

  		Ohio River Floor Crest Stages complied by Herb Oneacre Herb was proud of this document of flood crests he complied from the news media. As I remember, at one time the Corp Of Engineers requested a copy of this document to complete their records - that was one of his proudest moments. This is a hand typed by Herb before moving From New Martinsville, WV to Thomson, GA. He made one for me (son: Phil) and one for Patty (daughter) and perhaps others two. At the time he used an Underwood manual typewriter he bought refurbished in the 50's. When I tried using it I felt like my finger was going half way to China each time I pressed a key.

That evening Jamie Lemley, Herb's grandson, visited him to assist in making the mint syrup for the following day's event. Late that night a medical emergency had him admitted to the local hospital. Jamie and the family sneaked into the hospital a small julep for the running. His health continued to deteriorate and he died the next Friday.
