William and Luzannia were my grandparents when their daughter Vella Bell CARNEY married Joe W. Derrick and
they became my parents when I was born to them in 1930
in Charleston, WV. and was their only child.
I always wanted brothers and sisters, but that never happened.
There were two children by Sidney, and eight by Luzannia. They had lived at Liberty, WV (Putnam Co.) and had a general merchandise store there. After moving to Charleston, WV.(Kanawha County,) on the west side, he opened a furniture store on West Washington St.
The drawing of one side of Liberty was done by James Otis Bumgardner.
