    <abstract id="aspace_3d5e6fff4be94e369e43aaff65ae8ada">Transcribed oral histories taken by Paul Salstrom in 1988 from Ray and Mabel Elkins and Virgie Workman Farley. The oral histories are comprised of: childhood reminiscences; genealogy of the Workman, White, and Elkins families; and the industries and occupations of Lincoln, Logan, Wayne, and Mingo Counties, West Virginia, including farming, timbering, teaching, mining, police work, and the introduction of a railroad into the area. There are also two typed statements, one by Jim Chojnacki and one by Julian Martin, given at a public hearing held by the West Virginia Department of Energy in Lincoln County, West Virginia on June 28, 1988 regarding an application by Black Gold Coal Company and Mountain Black Diamond Coal Company to strip mine at Six Mile Creek. Also includes a copy of handwritten notes on the case. There is one unidentified portrait photograph.</abstract>
