Good afternoon Frances,
The information that Lola (Cavendish) Bryant, daughter of Joseph Finley Cavendish and
Ermina Jane Legg, wrote was in 1959. She hand wrote it on notebook paper so I don't
know if she copied it from a book or what. At the end of the first few pages that I typed
and sent you and you sent on to the list, it says, "written by Lola Cavendish Bryant
1959, given to Ethel Mason Hagaman, Summersville, W. Va., Ethel gave to Thelma Snowden,
Thelma gave a copy to Letha Osborne." Letha Osborne is the one that made the copy
that she sent to me. Since it has been recopied several times, some of the exact words are
hard to read. She wrote down a lot of other information and stories on the descendants of
Andrew Cavendish and Jane McClung. Lola Ann Cavendish was born 02 Jan. 1883 in Nicholas
Co.
I'm not sure how many on the mailing list know this, but I'll pass it along
anyway. Lola's younger sister, Letha Opal Cavendish, after she married Thomas Greene,
owned and operated the river steamboat Delta Queen for many years in the
1940's-70's. I have a copy of the book she wrote 'Long Live the Delta
Queen' in 1973 that she sent to my grandmother. Letha was killed in a carwreck in 1985
in Cincinatti, OH.
Take care, WES
