Bramwell, West Virginia was a residential paradise, wealthy coal barons could live in luxury. They could enjoy a fabulous social life among their wealthy neighbors,
There were plenty of merchants, ministers, doctors, attorneys and others that
supported their lifestyle. In the late 1800s, Bramwell had electric street lights, a weekly newspaper, a water company, and even telephone service.

This is great. My great-grandmother Ocie Adams & great-grandfather Ray Tabor were born in Coopers and raised in Cooper’s and Bramwell. My dad was born in Pocahontas, Va. I’m the great-g-g-g granddaughter of Jordon Nelson of Pocahontas Fuel Company. My great-g-g grandfather Henderson Tabor survived one of the worst mine explosions. Unfortuntaly, I never have been to those areas of West Virginia. These videos show me a lot. I treasure being able to see the towns of my heritage. Thank you.

There is so many hidden treasures in West Virginia, the old coal towns are like stepping back in time. I’m from War, West Virginia, currently living in South Texas. I have been homesick since the day I left.
