Although not sure of the event here, the man pictured is long-time local barber Bill Mick. Mick had a barber shop just alongside the old Alkire’s  5&10, which is now gone. This photo is from 1965. Does anyone remember Bill Mick? If so, share your memories below.

This is a photo of a covered in over the Cheat River on Route 50, east of Grafton. In 1964, it was no longer in use, but was destroyed by fires by youngsters making a fire to keep  warm.
