Lewis’ March
The descendants of the 1774 marchers to Point Pleasant gathered Saturday at Lewisburg, but with not as much a show of force as their 1,100 forefathers 200 years ago. Senator Robert Byrd and Congressman Harley Staggers honored the occasion with their presence, and a memorial marker was dedicated later and unveiled by two young descendants, Virginia Lockwood Walls and John Stuart Arbuckle, at Lewis Park in Lewisburg. The event, the first Bicentennial observance in the State, was sponsored by the Greenbrier Historical Society.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred McNeel, Richard McNeel, Jane Price Sharp, Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Beard, from Pocahontas County were among those who attended the event.
