Abstract:
Papers of the Ley-Robison-Blosser families documenting people and places of northern WV and southwestern PA; subjects include businesses, Cheat River recreation (they were Cheat River residents), WWII (Blosser letters), and the Pridevale Iron Co. Christian Ley settled and lived on the Cheat River from the 1850s to 1880s. His daughter Lillie married George Robison. The Robison couple lived on a section of Christian Ley's Land on the Cheat, where they managed a hotel, among other activities, around 1880-1920. The daughter of Lillie and George Robison, Eleanor, married Hugh Blosser, a coal miner, in 1917; they lived on the Cheat as well, operating a marina on the lake. See A&M 3950, Series 4, for more information on the Ley, Robison, and Blosser families.
