Lost History of Huntington
Cabell County has a rich history
since its founding. The city of Huntington is its biggest jewel. Some of
us have seen many businesses flourish over the many years. First rising
and then declining as time marches on. With the help of the local
newspaper and James E Casto’s publications in that paper, Cabell County
Doors to the Past will endeavor to share a few with you. Many
genealogists have had family that may have worked at one of these
businesses. “Old Timers” will recall several of them. Rumor is that Mr.
Casto may in the future publish a more complete volume of articles on this
subject. The genealogical community applauds your efforts.
