Locomotive Headlight - kinfolks

[NW Mailing List]

Bob - I'm a seventh-generation Tennessee hillbilly (I have lots of kin 
buried at a Presbyterian Church in Piney Flats), so no kin to Willie.  I'm 
not kin to any of the N&W Kings.

My grandmother's (father's side) cousin (she was from Roanoke) was A. B. 
Stone who was Chief Engineer for the N&W.  I met him a couple of times; he'd 
just retired when I went to Roanoke in 1959.
She had a brother who was foreman at Radford for a time; his name was Clisby 
Jennelle.  I never knew him.
My mother's father worked for the Railway Express; he was messenger on the 
Abingdon Branch until he retired in 1960.  Her grandfather, J. L. Warren, 
was car foreman at Bristol for years; he died before I was born.  Her uncle 
Morris Warren was a motive power clerk at Bristol; I did know him.
