ALEXANDER JACKSON FLETCHER was an ambitious young man of twenty-four years when he came to Clarksburg, judicial center and metropolis of Harrison County, and, with a capital of little more than $100, engaged in the general merchandise business, on a modest seale, as may naturally be inferred. He brought to bear energy, fair and honorable polieies and careful management, with the re- sult that his enterprise prospered from the start and he eventually developed one of the foremost mercantile estab- lishments in the city. He continued his active association with this line of business about twenty-nine years, and then sold out to turn his attention to the banking business, in which likewise he has made a record of admirable achievement. In 1903 he became associated with other representative eitizens in the organization and ineorpora- tion of the Farmers Bank of Clarksburg, of which he has since served continuously as president. Among others | rom- inently eoneerned in the founding of the new institution were Ira C. Posh (its first vice president), Hon. Harvey W. Harmer, Hon. J. E. Law, Dr. M. J. Bartlett, Dr. J. B. Smith and other eitizens of high standing. The bank bases its operations on a capital stock of $100,000, an idea of its unequivocal sueeess is afforded in the statement that in 1921 its resources are in excess of $1,500,000, and its de- posits nearly $2,000,000. In Clarksburg Mr. Fleteher has been a true apostle of civie and material progress, and he has here maintained seeure place as a representative busi- ness man for virtually thirty years. He is a staneh demo- crat, and while ever regardful of civie stewardship, he has had no desire for public office. He and his wife are active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Alexander Jackson Fleteher was born at Farmington, Marion County, West Virginia, February 2, 1866, and is a son of Charles and Amelia (Baker) Fletcher, both of whom likewise were born and reared in that county, where the respective families were established in the pioneer days. Charles Fletcher, Sr., grandfather of the subject of this review, was a native of Pennsylvania, the original repre- sentatives of the family having come from England and settled in Virginia, in the colonial period of our national history. Charles Fletcher, Sr., was still a young man when he came to what is now West Virginia, settled in Marion County, and turned his attention to farm industry, with which he there continued his alliance during the remainder of his life. Charles Fletelier, Jr., learned the blacksmith trade and was successfully following the same in his native county at the time of his tragie death in a railroad accident, in 1869, when his son Alexander J. was but three years old. The widowed mother reared ber four children with earnest solieitude and continued her residence at Farmington until the elose of her gentle and gracious life. Her father, Jacob Baker, was a native of Pennsylvania, of German ancestry, became a pioneer settler in Marion Connty, West Virginia, and lived to the patriarchal age of 106 years. He whose name initiates this review is the youngest of the four children. His two brothers, Dorsey W. and Michael A., still reside in Marion County; and the only sister, Catherine, is deceased.
Alexander J. Fletcher obtained in his youth a good common-school education and initiated his business eareer as clerk in a general store in his home town. For seven years he was in the employ of a leading mercantile firm at Fairmont, county seat of Marion County, and it was after severing this association that, at the age of twenty-four years, in 1890, he initiated his independent mercantile en- terprise at Clarksburg, as noted in a preceding paragraph.
In 1886 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Fleteher to Miss Mollie A. Bowers, who was born in the State of Pennsylvania, and they have four children: Nellie C. (Mrs. G. K. Allman), Mabel C. (Mrs. Frank Graham), Ray Jackson, and Ward Bowers. The two sons are now cou- dueting a prosperous business at Clarksburg, under the
firm name of the Fletcher Automobile Company. Bo were in the nation's military service in the World w period, Ray J., having soon received an honorable d charge, on account of physical disability, and Ward having become an instructor in the aviation departmen All four of the children received the advantages of the W Virginia Wesleyan College.

Here he has labored w all of consecrated zeal and devotion, and under his regi both the spiritual and temporal affairs of the parish ha been signally advaneed and prospered. The services of t Catholic Church at Clarksburg were maintained under m sion auspices until 1864, when the present parish was orga ized by Rt. Rev. Monsignor Daniel O'Conner, who beca the first pastor and who continued as the revered spiriti and executive head of the parish until his death, in 19 Father O'Conner was a native of Maryland and was a m of fine intellectual and administrative powers. Under vigorous and earnest administration the parish grew a prospered for nearly forty years, and he was influent also in general community affairs. Under his directi were erected the first church edifice, the first priest's hou the first sehool building of the parish, as well as otl buildings required to meet the needs of the growing chu organization. The original ehureh was a brick structu ereeted in 1865, and it served as the parish house of w ship until 1921, when the ancient building was razed, order that the site might be utilized for the new a modern chureh edifiee which is here to be erceted une the direet supervision of the present pastor, Father I Dermott.

One sehool, known as St. Joseph's Act emy, is under the direction of the Sisters of St. Joseph, a. the other school is in charge of the Xaverian Brothers.
In the year following his assumption of this pasto charge Father MeDermott initiated the erection of 1 present St. Mary's High School Building, which was co pleted in 1914 and which, with its equipment, represe an expenditure of about $83,000. The present residence the Xaverian Brothers of the parish was completed at eost of about $14,475. The parish now has about 1,5 communicants.
The second pastor of the Church of the Immacul: Conception was Rev. John A. Reynolds, whose earnest se iee covered a period of about nine years and continued ur his death, January 16, 1912. His memory is revered in 1 community, which benefited greatly by his presence a loving labors. Father Reynolds was born at Baltimo; Maryland, and prior to coming to Clarksburg had been service as a priest at Wheeling, West Virginia.

IHISTORY OF WEST VIRGINIA
Father McDermott has mainfested a spirit of progres- geness not only in connection with the work of his parish b; also as a liberal and publie-spirited citizen of broad o.look and mature judgment. He has gained inviolable pce in the confidence and high regard of the people of Cirksburg and Harrison County.
ROBERT L. RAMSAY, who is engaged in the practice of his pfession at Wellsburg, judicial center of Brooke County, ba secure status as one of the representative members of t: bar of this part of his native state, and both in his in- c'idual practice and his official service as prosecuting at- t ney of Brooke County he has won noteworthy victories i connection with cases of maximum importance.
The association of the Ramsay family with what is now [; State of West Virginia began when the widowed pa- I nal grandmother of the subject of this review came with 1. children to New Cumberland, Hancock County, and Ined her brother, Peter G. Headley, who there opened the fit coal mines of that district, about 1840. Mr. Ileadley is a native of Scotland, a man of marked ability and itiative energy, and he was long one of the leading eiti- sis of llaneoek County, where he died in 1892, at the age « seventy- four years. Ile was a delegate to the first repub- Jan convention held in Virginia, that of 1556, and he eon- hued a stalwart supporter of the party cause during the I nainder of his life, while he was influential in its eoun- is after the State of West Virginia had been created. In de early days he shipped coal down the rivers by barge, id he became the owner of a large part of the land now umprised in the City of New Cumberland. Ilis sister Isabel came the wife of Robert Ramsay, who died in Scotland, d it was after this bereavement that she came to America d joined her brother at New Cumberland, where she ssed the remainder of her life. Her two sons were John id William, the latter being now a resident of Guernsey sunty, Ohio.
John Ramsay was born in Scotland, in 1856, and he was out twenty years of age whea, with his young wife, he companied his widowed mother to the United States. In e present Hancock County, West Virginia, he became man- ger and superintendent of his unele's coal mines, and he now successfully operating a mine at near Hollidays Cove, at county, his home being in that vigorous little industrial ty. The maiden name of his wife was Elizabeth Lumsdou, id they have two sons and four daughters, Robert L., of is review, being eldest of the number; Anna is the wife : Samuel Smith, of Hollidays Cove; Isabel is the wife : William Breen, of that place; John likewise resides at ollidays Cove; Edith remains at the parental home; and thel is the wife of Floyd Tarr, of Hollidays Cove.
Robert L. Ramsay was born at New Cumberland, Han- ck County, March 24, 1877, and his early education was tained in the public schools of his native county. In 1901 e was graduated in the law department of the University f West Virginia, and for four years thereafter he was ssociated in practice with the late Senator J. R. Donahue t New Cumberland. Since 1906 he has been actively en- aged in practice at Wellsburg. In 1908 he was elected roseeuting attorney of Brooke County, and in 1912, as a emoerat, he was defeated for election to the office of state nator from his district. His defeat was compassed by only 56 votes in the distriet. Though he lost Ohio County, he arried every precinet in Haneoek County, which gave a epublican majority of 800. In 1916 Mr. Ramsay was re- lected prosecuting attorney of Brooke County, and .his orceful and notable administration in this office terminated 1 1921. As prosecutor during this period he handled many nportant eases, including the celebrated Galeheek murder ase, one of the most notable ever tried in the West Virginia ourts. Galeheek, a merchant of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ad become infatuated with Mary Ondriek, a versatile young dventuress, by whom he was lured to Follansbee, Brooke 'ounty, and, in accordance with the well laid plot of the roman and her accomplices, the victim was finally taken rom the automobile in which he was being transported, vas handeuffed and thrown off the Steubenville bridge, to seet his death by drowning. In the prosecution that fol-
lowed this dastardly crime Hobert, or "Pittsburgh, " Grimm was condemned and executed and three accompliees were given life sentences, including the Ondrich woman, who had previously made a confession. The ense was remark- nble in the effective gathering of the circunstantial evidence that unraveled the nefarious plot, with difficulties nt every turn, and finally bringing the guilty parties to justice. The work which Mr. Ramsay did in connection with this cause celebrè did much to broaden his reputation and to give him state wide fame as a resourceful criminal lawyer nnd prosecutor.
Mr. Ramsay has been influential in the eouneil and enm- paign activities of the democratic party, has repeatedly been a delegate to its state conventions in West Virginia, and as a campaign speaker has frequently euvered the First Senatorial Distriet of the state. He is affiliated with the Wheeling Lodge of Elks and with the Kiwanis Club at Wells burg.
Mr. Ramsay married Miss Edna Brindley, daughter of Jefferson Brindley, and the two children of this union are Robert and Charlotte.
JOHN PATRICK MCGUIRE, M. D., who controls, in the City of Clarksburg, Harrison County, a professional prac- tiee that indicates alike his ability and personal hold upon popular confidence and esteem, claims the old Keystone State of the Union as the place of his nativity, his birth having occurred at Altoona, Pennsylvania, November 13, 1873.
