  Of note: Ralph Virgil Rohrbough was a former WV State Superintendent of Schools (dates unkown to me). He married Mildred Clare Stafford and had one daughter, Nancy Rohrbough, who was a Miss WV in the early 1950's.

  Bayrene Rohrbough Foster was the first wife of Mr. M.J. Foster (of Foster Feed, Weston, WV). The family lived on their farm in Rohrbough Siding, Lewis County, WV.

  Shortly after the death of his wife in 1948, Mr. Rohrbough and his daughter Ruby Maxine moved to Court Avenue in Weston where he lived until his death. In 1966 Aunt Maxine, as I call her, married Darius Alkire (d.__1990) and lived on South Main Avenue in Weston until she moved to Crestview Nursing home in December of 2006.

  Hope this information does someone some good. Sincerely, Robert E. Weaver Jr. Weston, WV
