Local historian Thomas James recently donated three military reference books that he compiled and gave to the three Marshall County libraries–Moundsville, Cameron and Benwood-McMechen.
The book is titled “Honored Patriots of Marshall County, West Virginia.”
James undertook this research project at the invitation of the Marshall County Commission. His work details the military service of 464 county soldiers who died in the line of duty.
The scope of the project encompasses those who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf Wars.
The names of these soldiers are engraved on five granite monuments in the Veterans Plaza on the Marshall County Courthouse.
FAIRMONT â Democrats in Congress continue to praise last weekâs passage of the $1.9T American Rescue Plan that was pushed by the Biden Administration to aid those whoâve been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to Congress debating Bidenâs proposal, the president said numerous times that America needed the relief bill because âPeople are hurting.â
In Marion County, the hurting Biden spoke of comes in various forms, such as opioid overdoses.
Members of the Quick Response Team, which was established in 2020 by the Marion County Health Department, works with anyone who has experienced a drug overdose and they see people who are hurting every day. Their goal is to sit down with the person who overdosed and have a conversation about how they can help.

GRANTSVILLE To help combat food insecurity, the Calhoun County Family Resource Network offers its services and help to those who may be struggling.
Friday, the Calhoun County FRN in partnership with Mountaineer Food Bank hosted a mobile food pantry which fed about 225 families in the span of one hour.
According to FRN Director Tina Persinger, the amount of families who need assistance has tripled within the past few years, especially due to COVID-19. Several families reached out for assistance for the first time because of their struggles with being laid off or decreased hours.
