"GEORGE WILMAN LATHEY was born May 7, 1878 in Meigs or Noble County, Ohio to Joseph Mark and Emaline (Ward) Lathey. He married Cora Belle Casto February 26, 1899 in Center Point School House in Jackson County. They were married by W. A. Cadia. Cora Belle was born November 2, 1879 in Mason County, West Virginia to George and Margaret Frances (Johnston) Casto.

Grandma Lathey was a quiet and patient wife and mother. She was acquainted with hard work and hard times, explaining to me that she began working outside the home as a mere child of eight or nine years of age. When Cora's mother-in-law suffered the stroke which left her bedfast, Grandma Cora nursed her for seventeen years.

Pete and Cora left their home in Jackson County around 1942-43 and removed to Pleasants County, W. Va., where Grandpa died December 16, 1945. Just as the wives of the Lathey men before her, Grandma spent the remaining years among her children. She died April 27, 1956 at the home of her son, Oris, in Jackson County. Both are buried in the Foster Chapel Cemetery in Jackson County, West Virginia."
