  • Devil Anse was a modern day Saul to Paul conversion. God used Dyke Garrett for His purpose in the process. Romans 8:28.

    Leo! You are a HOOT!😂 "What do you want to do tonight? I think you know what I want to do!"😂 But you are so right! I'm doing research on a family name now and one of the men married twice having produced 22 children with only 1 dying in infancy! His first wife produced 11 children before dying decades before her husband. Gee, I wonder what killed her? She couldn't have possibly been worn the hell out!😂😂 Thanks for the laugh today, Leo!!😊

  • Pretty little cemetery very peaceful except for the barking dog. I'm glad that the dog kept his distance no chance of you getting bit. That would not be fun

  • You pronounced the name of the river correctly. There is a group of people in the Charleston area that clean up rivers. There was a article in the magazine, "Wild, Wonderful West Virginia" that told the story of how they cleaned up Coal River. Loved this video as it is very historic. These historic sites are overlooked in our history books. Thank you for taking the time to research and share WV history.
  • That banana split looked Great! I have not had a good banana split in a very long time. I enjoyed watching this video, it is sad, I think, that some towns disappear over time. So it probably would have taken the reverend about a week to ride from his home to Devil Anse's home, if it takes you about two hours to drive it. Like you, I have seen cemeteries in worse shape than that one. It is somewhat cool, that there is a tree growing out of the Reverend's grave. Thank you very much for another interesting video, have a happy Thanksgiving!

  • Church of God and Church of Christ are not the same. I go to a Church of God church. I cant say what the difference is. Isn’t that weird that towns disappear? Could you imagine naming your child Devil? Holy cow! I wonder if Sally loved being his wife as much? My grandparents were married over 50 years. My Grandmother said she would never live her life over. I always felt sad for her. They were Catholic, she had 10 kids during the depression and he was a drunk as a young man
  • It's always interesting, and we look forward to seeing each one. Hoping you can show us the 3 McCoy boys...
  • Thank you for sharing a wonderful piece of history. This is beautiful country. In the early 1980s I worked with a man named Steve Hatfield. His family were decedents.
