in search of robert kerlin

Route No. 50 runs east and west across the top over the Cheat River.

Route No. 72 runs north and south

Route No. 72 is on the very western edge of “Lead Mine” which is under Route 50 on Route No. 38

Route No. 50 runs straight through to Winchester via Capon Bridge.

The following could be any where along the Cheat River; but I found this interesting because of the  other connections to mining by the HERLINS.
