No matter how diligently I check for articles on this blog about Monongah folks sometimes I miss one. In this case, I screwed up TWICE. She passed away in 2013, not 2022! Senior moment.
Lydia Cremeens Russell of Monongah, passed away Friday, November 1, 2013.
So, I'm NINE YEARS tardy. I apologize for that.
Her Monongah relatives include her husband, Charles Russell, and six children, Robert
Lee Scritchfield Jr. and wife Mary Ann of Fairmont, Margie Louise Lilly and
husband Robert, Thomas Eugene Scritchfield, Randal Steven Scritchfield, Gregory
Brian Scritchfield and wife Roseann, and Tiffany Dawn Scritchfield, sister Mary
Scritchfield of Monongah.
Her obituary that I just stumbled across 6
weeks after she passed away:
