Logging in West Virginia
These men are logging. The young man on the rail car at left is my father, Joseph Robert Baker, around age 17. He was born in 1892 and died in 1982. The gentleman with the horses is Mr. Hannah, first name unknown, who owned them. Does anyone know who the other young men are?

In logging, the men laid their track as they went, and took it up behind them.
Date & Place: in Nicholas County, West Virginia USA

What a wonderful photograph!

My mother's surname was Baker before she married, her family came from the area around Bodmin Moor in Cornwall.

I live in North Devon, UK and am researching my mother's family of Baker from Cornwall, UK, and possibly Bideford North Devon. I live with my husband and three cats, am interested in finding out more about my ancestors, like scrapbooking, yoga, reading and walking.
