Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed  (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for  Atlantic Monthly .","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock  was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the  Clarksburg Telegram . He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the  Nicholas County News Leader  (originally  News Letter ) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the  Nicholas County News Leader  combined with  Nicholas Republican ; in 1984, it became the  Richwood News Leader . Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly  West Virginia Hillbilly  with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the  Hillbilly  in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the  Hillbilly . In 1992, he sold the  Hillbilly  to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the  Hillbilly  ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including  Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy , a 50-volume  West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia , and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled  Best of Hillbilly . He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree.","Papers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the  West Virginia Hillbilly  and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history.

He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the  Clarksburg Telegram . He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the  Nicholas County News Leader  (originally  News Letter ) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the  Nicholas County News Leader  combined with  Nicholas Republican ; in 1984, it became the  Richwood News Leader . Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly  West Virginia Hillbilly  with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the  Hillbilly  in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the  Hillbilly . In 1992, he sold the  Hillbilly  to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the  Hillbilly  ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including  Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy , a 50-volume  West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia , and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled  Best of Hillbilly . He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Jim Comstock, Newspaper Editor and Collector, Papers, A\u0026amp;M 2600, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Jim Comstock, Newspaper Editor and Collector, Papers, A\u0026M 2600, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePapers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the \u003cemph render=\"italic\"\u003eWest Virginia Hillbilly\u003c/emph\u003e and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history.

","Lucy Elizabeth Prichard  (October 26, 1876 - July 29, 1964) was born in Cattlettsburg, Kentucky. Daughter of Robert H. and Mary Prichard, she had a brother, Karl, and a sister-in-law, Elizabeth. Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed  (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for  Atlantic Monthly .","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock  was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the  Clarksburg Telegram . He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the  Nicholas County News Leader  (originally  News Letter ) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the  Nicholas County News Leader  combined with  Nicholas Republican ; in 1984, it became the  Richwood News Leader . Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly  West Virginia Hillbilly  with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the  Hillbilly  in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the  Hillbilly . In 1992, he sold the  Hillbilly  to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the  Hillbilly  ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including  Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy , a 50-volume  West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia , and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled  Best of Hillbilly . He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree.","Papers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the  West Virginia Hillbilly  and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history. The collection includes materials Comstock collected about West Virginia history as well as his own personal and professional papers.","Materials include: general series of historical documents such as letters, deeds, and county court cases pertaining to a diverse range of subjects (1717, 1754-1988, undated [includes facsimiles]); letters of Lucy Prichard, former instructor at Marshall College (now Marshall University) (1925-1927, undated); clippings and typescripts of Wirt County resident and  Atlantic Monthly  writer Louis Eckert Reed (ca. 1960-1975, undated); account books concerning economic development and commercial activities in the northern part of the state in the 19th and early 20th centuries (1830-1938); printed material about West Virginia schools, businesses, and events as well as non-West Virginia books and pamphlets (1829-1995, undated); Comstock's personal and professional correspondence (1882-1995, undated); a wide variety of photographs, including images of West Virginia cities and towns, among many others (ca. 1850s-1995, undated); microfilmed records of the Civil War and Dunmore's War (undated); glass lantern slides, which include views of scenery and buildings in Wheeling and various other locations in Ohio County, WV (1871-1897, undated); Grand Army of the Republic and U.S. military history scrapbooks (1883-1918); broadsides, including advertisements for a circus in Moundsville (ca. 1827-1960 [includes facsimiles]); and maps and atlases of pre- and post-statehood West Virginia, counties, colonial North America, and other topics (1730-1976, undated [includes facsimiles]).","An addendum of 2013/05 includes additional personal and professional correspondence, publications, newspaper morgue files, photographs, audio-visual material, artifacts, scrapbooks, account books, and maps.
