I am the the grandson of Warnie and Nora Rivers Blair. My parents are Ottis Kenneth('Buster') and Sadie Stamper Blair. My dad's family was from Van Lear,Ky and my Mothers from Prestonsburg,Ky.I'm seeking info on my Grandparents Warnie and Nora. I believe Warnie had brothers named Asa, Herbert,and Irvin. And sisters named Lula(or Rula),Ellen,Goldia,and Abbie.I found what appears to be Warnies sibling info while searching for my dads Obit info from a Johnson County, Ky (Van Lear/Paintsville) newspaper. There I found another Obit for a 'Lula Blair Blanton'1888-1961 and Warnie is listed as one of her brothers. Some siblings were said to have Migrated to Ohio and we also lived in Dayton, Ohio for about 15 years. I believe I remember my Grandmother,Nora,mentioning some of these name's to me when I was very young. Any info from any decendants would be greatly appreciated as I try to piece together these connections for my Children. I have only one photo of Warnie and Nora from the time he was a coal miner in Van Lear,Ky and I am also seeking some photos of him, hopefully with some of his Siblings.Warnie, Nora and my Dad are buried in the 'Music-Hyden Cemetary' in Hager Hill, Johnson County,Ky.
