My dad taught me the importance of photos and keepsakes at a very young age. I'm blessed that he was sentimental. Daddy is the baby in this photo. Granny (Sylvia Lilly) is holding him, standing next to my Great-Grandpa Theodore Hopson and her husband, Grandpa Harmon Sr. Photo taken between 1949-1950, McDowell County, WV . . . #mcdowellcountywv #hopsonfamily #wv #wvgenealogist #wvgenealogy #buffalocreekgenealogist #familyhistory #familyhistorian #familyresearch #research #history #keepsake #vintagephoto #oldphoto #genealogy #genealogist #hillbillyhistory #familyphotos #digyourroots #findyourfamily #telltheirstories (at McDowell County, West Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HvfQZHuAy/?igshid=1qwbq69hlkgx0

"We don't want another non-profit. We want people making profits," -- Sylvester Edwards explaining his philosophy of farming and agribusinesses he's working on in #McDowellCounty, #WestVirginia Raised on the Eastern Band Cherokee Reservation in the Great Smoky Mountains, Edwards moved against the tide of people leaving and moved back to the region recently, specifically McDowell, a county known for its poverty. Edwards was drawn to farming because of his #Mormon faith. I have run into so many lovely and passionate people. All have their own hidden surprises. It is a complicated region.
