I WAS BORN AND RAISED ON CABIN CREEK AT ESKDALE. MY DAD DIED IN THE MINES AT ESKDALE AND IS BURIED NEAR KAYFORD. WHAT WAS LEFT OF FAMILY DEPARTED W.VA AND MOVED TO OHIO IN 1950. I HAVE A LOT OF RELATIVES BURIED THERE. I AM GOING BACK THIS 4TH OF JULY 2013 TO LOOK FOR BURIEL SITES OF FAMILY. I AM SAD AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED ON CABIN CREEK. WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT OBAMA HAS A WAR ON COAL AS THAT HAS CABIN CREEKS WAY OF LIFE LEAVING. GOD IS IN CONTROL TO ITS DESTINY. I CONSIDER ALL FOLKS ON CABIN CREEK RELATIVES.

I live in Cabin Creek and I am tired of haveing our mountains mined off. It is not going to be to long before all of Cabin Creek is going to be gone and I planed on living in Cabin Creek for ever and I wanted my children to grow up in Cabin Creek.

This is quite sad. My mother’s family all lived up Cabin Creek, and I often fear that the remains of many of our deceased relatives (namely in the Carbon Cemetery) will be “lost.” It’s sad from a historical perspective as well. My ancestors used Kayford Mountain as a route when they journeyed from White Oak, Boone Co., and settled up Cabin Creek. That route is now gone…
