Abstract

Photographs and other material of the Butcher family of Lewis County, West Virginia. Includes portrait and candid photos, William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (1911), a statement from Weston City Hospital for the birth of a child (1948), a radio program (1969), a Weston High School class ring (1933), and Weston High School commencement materials (1966). The photos depict Wilda Juanita Turner Butcher (1915-1999), Weston High School class of 1933 and owner of the ring; her husband, Robert Hugh Butcher (1912-1996); her mother, Laura "Dolly" Kemper Turner (1869-1959); her father, Claude Turner (1891-1968); and her children, Elizabeth and James. The radio program is the "Brotherhood" segment of the Campus Lines radio program produced by Fairmont State College (now Fairmont State University), with interviews and music selection by James Butcher. The Weston High School commencement materials, including an announcement, "Annual Sermon to the Seniors," and commencement program, document the last class of the school prior to consolidation into Lewis County High School for the 1966-1967 school year.
