Beech Hill School was located on Little Left Hand road about 3/4 mile from the mouth of Little Left Hand Creek at Amma. It was a one room school with beautiful glass doors covering the built in library book shelves. The well house and pump provided good, cold water. Most all of the structure has now fallen down.

| Ephraim Hess family

This is a picture of Capt. Ephraim Hess and wife Sophronia (Murphy) Hess and family. Ephraim was the son of Hiram Hess and Mary (Fitzwater) Hess, the first of their family to settle in Roane County about 1852. They made their home on the head waters of Poca in what is now Smithfield District. Hiram was a stone mason contractor who built the stone work of the Gauley bridge that was soon destroyed in the Civil War. Ephraim was born about 1850 and was a soldier of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. He also served in the war against the Indians known as the Nezperce War. He and Sophronia were married in Spencer on March 25, 1890 and later moved west. They are both buried at Smithville, Clay Co., MO. Sophronia was my grandfather's sister, a daughter of Peter and Lucretia (Rollins) Murphy.

| Harper's Little Family

This is the Alexander and Mary Frances (Jones) Harper family.
Maxine Landfried submitted this picture and provides this history:
My mother-in-law, Ersil Bailey Landfried (1911-1987 - See Story in Roane County 1989 book), was a niece of Mary Frances and after she (Ersil) died we found this picture with the words on the back "Harper's little family". Of course, I soon found them in the family tree and census records. It seems all ten children are lined up in birth order. I believe several of the sons became doctors and were influential in Roane County. |
