How Can I help?
This website can be a wonderful, maybe even unique resource. It can be even better, reflecting your desires even further. If you would like to see photographs of a particular event that relates to Marsh Fork High School, please send us a note telling us what it is. We will put that request onto a board for all to see. Chances are, someone will have a photo or information about that event you requested. So please help us to get out the information you would like. For example, does anyone have any photos of the skating party that the Spanish Club went on in 1965?
Please mail all contributions to Gracie Stover at ggracie@cox.net!
Also, we would love to see your photographs of your Marsh Fork High School Days. Won’t you please look through your old photos and find a few that you could share with your classmates? Though the physical building of Marsh Fork High School is now gone, it exists in the minds of all of us and in photographs and other memorabilia from our school days. To an extent, we can make those wonderful times live again by sharing stories, photographs, old papers, and whatever we have left of our school days with each other on this wonderful website.

We have started a new section for local characters and "folks of interest," If you have any photos that fit this category, write something about that person along with the photo.
Dee Cantley, '58 is doing research on the old one-room schools that served Coal River and Posey/Saxon. He is asking for your help in providing pictures and the history, if possible, of old schools. We know there were schools in the following locations: One on Peach Tree and one on Drews Creek, one on Rock Creek and one at the mouth of Dry Creek and one at the forks of Dry Creek and Sturgeon. Charles Bradford has provided one picture of students and teachers standing in front of the Dry Creek/Sturgeon school, Muddy Lin. There has to have been other schools. His research will be placed on this website for all to enjoy.
You can help us with pictures in either of the following ways:
*Scan them and send them to Dee
*Have your pictures copied and mail them to him
*If neither of the above is not possible, mail your pictures to him with your name and address on the back and they will be promptly returned to you.
