Daughter of Robert H. and Mary Prichard, she had a brother, Karl, and a sister-in-law, Elizabeth. Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for Atlantic Monthly.","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the Clarksburg Telegram. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the Nicholas County News Leader (originally News Letter) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the Nicholas County News Leader combined with Nicholas Republican; in 1984, it became the Richwood News Leader. Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly West Virginia Hillbilly with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the Hillbilly in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the Hillbilly. In 1992, he sold the Hillbilly to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the Hillbilly ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy, a 50-volume West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia, and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled Best of Hillbilly. He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree.","Papers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the West Virginia Hillbilly and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history.

Daughter of Robert H. and Mary Prichard, she had a brother, Karl, and a sister-in-law, Elizabeth. Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV. He also wrote for Atlantic Monthly.","James Franklin \"Jim\" Comstock was born to Harry Clinton and Myrtle Blanche in Richwood, West Virginia on February 25, 1911. He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the Clarksburg Telegram. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the Nicholas County News Leader (originally News Letter) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the Nicholas County News Leader combined with Nicholas Republican; in 1984, it became the Richwood News Leader. Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly West Virginia Hillbilly with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the Hillbilly in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the Hillbilly. In 1992, he sold the Hillbilly to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the Hillbilly ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress on the Republican ticket. He wrote, edited, and contributed to various books, including Pa and Ma and Mr. Kennedy, a 50-volume West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia, and a collection of newspaper highlights entitled Best of Hillbilly. He was also involved in republishing books by West Virginian authors. He campaigned to purchase and preserve author Pearl S. Buck's birthplace at Hillsboro, and he helped save the Cass Scenic Railroad. He also founded the University of Hard Knocks, a lighthearted honorary society that recognizes the accomplishments of people who have succeeded in life without a college degree.","Papers of James (\"Jim\") Franklin Comstock of Richwood, West Virginia, whose position as editor of the West Virginia Hillbilly and avocation as collector and advocate of all things West Virginia led to the preservation of much of the state's physical, visual, and textual history.

Lucy taught at Huntington High School from 1899-1913, and taught Latin and Classical Studies at Marshall College (now Marshall University) from 1914-1941. Marshall's Prichard Hall was named in her honor.","Louis Eckert Reed (born October 1, 1899 in Wirt County, WV; died January 31, 1979 in Elizabeth, WV) served as a sergeant in the US Army during WWI, served as Administrative Assistant to Senator Chapman Revercomb, and worked as a prosecuting attorney in Wirt County, WV.

He married Miss Ola Stowers in Huntington, WV, on October 18, 1933; they would have two daughters, Sandra Ferguson and Elaine Nagy, and a son, Jay. In 1934, Comstock received B.A. from Marshall College (now Marshall University). From 1938-1942, he taught at Richwood High School and wrote for the Clarksburg Telegram. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946, and upon returning home he founded the Nicholas County News Leader (originally News Letter) with Bronson D. McClung (1920-2004), a former student of his. On December 25, 1963, the Nicholas County News Leader combined with Nicholas Republican; in 1984, it became the Richwood News Leader. Comstock remained an active part of the paper till his death on May 22, 1996.\n \n In 1957, Comstock founded the weekly West Virginia Hillbilly with McClung, and became its editor. The paper included feature articles, columns of special interest to West Virginians, book notes, and the \"Comstock Load,\" the editor's own column on the back page. Comstock first tried to sell the Hillbilly in 1976. In 1981, he sold it to the South Charleston Publishing Company. On February 25, 1986, he repurchased and began resuscitating the Hillbilly. In 1992, he sold the Hillbilly to Sandy McCauley. In 2001, the Hillbilly ceased publication.","Comstock was involved in many endeavors in addition to his newspaper editing and reporting activities.

Grimes, advertising executive for the Wheeling Steel Corporation, that ran from 1936 to 1944 and featured only Wheeling Steel employees or members of their immediate families as performers and producers. The Wheeling Steel Corporation was created in 1920 by bringing together three independent companies from the Wheeling, West Virginia, area. Grimes, who wrote, directed, and produced the program, conceived of the idea for a musical variety program that would feature the company in performances and advertising as a way to offset rising advertising costs and take advantage of the increasing popularity of radio advertising.","This grand experiment in commercial advertising and employee relations proved to be very successful. In November 1936, the first thirty-minute program aired in Wheeling. It included an orchestra playing musical numbers and singing with advertisements for Wheeling Steel products mixed in; later shows featured a headlining act. Early performers included Arden White, Dorothy Ann Crowe, Anna Neagle, and the Steel Sisters. In 1938 the program premiered on Mutual Broadcasting System's stations and became a national broadcast, and in 1939 it moved to the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, where there was room for both a larger orchestra and audience. Later that year members of the Musical Steelmakers performed at the Worlds' Fair in New York. When World War II began, the radio program became more patriotic, asking listeners to buy war bonds and to support a company that supported the war effort. Though the show remained highly popular, the health of writer and producer John Grimes began to decline. \"It's Wheeling Steel!\" began its eighth and final season in September 1943 and the last broadcast aired on 18 June 1944.","\"It's Wheeling Steel!\" was a radio program developed by John L.

It included an orchestra playing musical numbers and singing with advertisements for Wheeling Steel products mixed in; later shows featured a headlining act. Early performers included Arden White, Dorothy Ann Crowe, Anna Neagle, and the Steel Sisters. In 1938 the program premiered on Mutual Broadcasting System's stations and became a national broadcast, and in 1939 it moved to the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, where there was room for both a larger orchestra and audience. Later that year members of the Musical Steelmakers performed at the Worlds' Fair in New York. When World War II began, the radio program became more patriotic, asking listeners to buy war bonds and to support a company that supported the war effort. Though the show remained highly popular, the health of writer and producer John Grimes began to decline. \"It's Wheeling Steel!\" began its eighth and final season in September 1943 and the last broadcast aired on 18 June 1944.","\"It's Wheeling Steel!\" was a radio program developed by John L. Grimes, advertising executive for the Wheeling Steel Corporation, that ran from 1936 to 1944 and featured only Wheeling Steel employees or members of their immediate families as performers and producers. Records include photographs and film, two pamphlets, and one bound volume and are largely from 1939, though some undated photographs may be from the late 1930s or early 1940s.","Most of the photographs are from the program staff and performers' visit to the 1939 Worlds' Fair in New York. Subjects include John L. Grimes meeting with advertising and Mutual Broadcast Company executives and program performers, including Dorothy Ann Crowe, Lew Davies, Roy Wilson, the Steel Sisters, and British actress Anna Neagle. Also includes photographs of rehearsals and program production at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling and of Wheeling's Elm Grove neighborhood in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Note that all photographs have remained in their original order, according to reel of film, and that negatives for most of the reels are included with the photographs.","Printed materials consist of a 1939 issue of Radio Daily with a blurb about Grimes and a signed \"WWVA Radio Souvenir of the 1936 Wheeling Flood\" pamphlet. The published volume, Testimonial Letters to Wheeling's Musical Steelmakers, September 12, 1939, is a compilation of letters of appreciation and congratulations sent to J. L. Grimes on \"Musical Steelmakers' Day\" in 1939.","Addendum of 2012/11/29 contains sheet music written by Leo Bonenberger for the Wheeling Steel Program, with a short letter (2010 and undated, 1 folder).","Addendum of 2019/01/10 contains digitized material documenting the Wheeling Steel Radio Program, including 35 photographs and 2 program schedules (ca. 1936-1944, 37 digital files).","Sample sound files from the radio program:\n\"It's Wheeling Steel\" program introduction with Red Label advertisement, 1:51 seconds.\n\"Insist Upon Red Label\" and \"Look for Red Label\" advertisements, 16 and 27 seconds respectively.\nLamont O'Brien's trumpet impression of \"Dinah\", 2:37 seconds.\n\"By The Light of the Silvery Moon\", 2:39 seconds.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.
