Description:
'Dear Mr. Shelter: Would it be possible to have this photograph cleaned somewhat and reproduced in say, half a dozen copies? It shows the village of Core in 1900. The Church is the Dolls Run Christian Church. The plant just to the left of it is the Eureka Pipe Line Company pumping station (for oil). The small house to the right is my birthplace (January 20, 1902) Next comes the original Core Post Office and Core Brothers General Store. The road is now West Virginia Route 7. For you archives, sincerely, Earl L. Core.'
