This is a picture of the Meadow River Lumber Company in Randolph County, WV. This is the lumber company my wife's great grandfather managed.

"Ashes, ashes, all fall down."
--Ring Around the Rosies (Children's Song)
"...and we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
--Book of Common Prayer (Anglican)
We are intelligent ash. Eventually we crumble and become dust. Do the echoes of our thoughts sift through living ghosts and smudge inspiration on strange minds?

Meadow River Lumber operations were in Greenbrier and Fayette counties. If the photo says Randolph, then it probably shows operations of Raine-Andrews Lumber for whom L R F Preysz worked from about 1902 or 1903 until final cut in 1922. The Raine brothers invited him to take shares when they organized Meadow River in 1906. Preysz was elected Secretary of Meadow River in 1921, and President, from 1936 to 1943. He was a director from 1921 to his death in 1949.
