[2] During the great conflict from 1861 to 1865, most of the people of the South Branch Valley (later Hardy County) supported the Confederacy.

With the use of a hot iron, a hammer and chisel, the center of a white oak log was hewn out to form a "yag," used for storing and transporting the brew.

1841 joined with other local men to form a Home Guard Company commanded by Captain Sampson Snyder.

In 1866, Adam Jr., corresponded with a law firm in Washington, DC to recover funds for his services "as a scout, as a spy, and a guard" and for losses the family suffered during the Civil War.

Adam Wolfe Jr., and his first wife Rebecca See were the parents of four sons, John, George, Jacob, Anderson, and one daughter, Martha.

Adam and his son John ("Mink") became well known blacksmiths admired for their unusual cow/ sheep bells constructed with welded seams.

The rounded-corner bells were welded by placing pellets of brass in clay and putting this in the seams.

They raised 14 children: Martha Delaware, Glaspy Valentine, Pleas Harmon, Lemual Price, Roxanna Eunice, Amby Kenneth, Blossie Chloe, Wilbur Vance, Ramon Orville, Courtney Dewey, Loring Dacy, Ira Roosevelt, Hazel Leota, and Melvin Paige.

After finishing school, Glaspy, several brothers and a cousin went to Cumberland, Maryland to find employment.

Glaspy then returned to South Fork where he purchased a plot of ground from George Paskel located at the foot of Wolfe Mountain.

To this union were born eight children: Curtis, Eugene, Omer, Hester, Warren, Carl, Earl, and Ralph.

Is it any wonder then, That my heart with rapture thrills, As I stand once more with loved ones On those West Virginia hills?
