Goodwill, WV

Charles A. Duncan and wife Mary Ann Blevins Duncan were amoung the pioneers of Goodwill during the early 19th century coal mining boom in that area. The photograph is believed to have been taken in "Frogtown", which is a part of the Goodwill coal mining community. The Duncans were long time residents of the Frogtown and were well known throughout the Goodwill coal mining community. Some folks may remember that they operated a general store in Frogtown. The store was in a very large building that was located just beside the railroad tracks. Their residence was also located in the store building.
