Abstract
Five typescripts pertaining to Ice's Ferry and the Ice family. The first typescript is "Ice's Ferry," (8 pp., undated) an
account of the Ice family and of Ice's Ferry in Monongalia County, with comments on frontier and pioneer life in western Virginia,
apparently written by Virginia H. Conaway of Marion County. The second item is a variant copy of the "Ice's Ferry," typescript
(10 pp., undated). The third typescript is a copy of "Historical Notes on Ice's Ferry," written by John L. Johnston (6 pp.,
1920). Covering the time span of 1758-1920, the narrative describes early settlements, roads, forts, Indians, industries,
land offices, and families prominent in the development of areas near Ice's Ferry. Mention is made of the proposed construction
of a dam and recreation area on the Cheat River. The fourth item is a facsimile typescript of "Some of the Earliest History
of the Ice Family" (9 pp., undated), which covers roughly 1680 through the 1900s. The fifth typescript is a magazine article
facsimile about Adam Ice (1 p., undated).
