    One of the Sheets Family, Bobby is buried at nearby Jonben WV. I believe it was mining, I am not 100% certain.

    I also know this lady. Her husband's name was George. He and my father fished together and ran around together. I went to school with his son Billy. They used to live in Wilibet before moving to Fireco. Fred
