"I am trying to locate information on two people. The first is Hugh Forrest Powers although sometimes he went by Forrest Hugh Powers. He was born 1898 to Henry Hobart and Ida Belle Bevins Powers. I was told he died in 1918 but not sure how or where."The second person is Mary Culbertson Powers, the daughter of Stephen Culbertson from McDowell Co. She married my grandfather, Melvin Patton Powers in Richlands in 1917.
"They were only together for a short time before she left. Grandpa was told that she had been killed in an accident either 1918 or 1919. I'm trying to find out for sure when and where. All I really know about Mary is that she had a twin sister, Martha, who married one of Mel's brothers. I think it might have been Hugh.
Any information on these people would be greatly appreciated. "
