Rayford "Ray," Blankenship My loving uncle "dad" entered into Eternal life
on Thursday, September 24, 2009. Ray and I have
developed a relationship over the past year that I never would have thought
would be imaginable in my life. He opened a door that I may have never seen
without his guidance. We have spent countless hours sharing stories and he
reminiscing about the "good ole days." I loved hearing those stories,
it took me momentarily to a place that I have always longed to be....part of my
father, who passed before I was born and a place and time when he lived. I
placed much trust in Ray and knew that anything I told him in
confidence wouldn't go any further. Ray was a true
inspiration. He has taught me to be a better person and has shared many a
lesson about life itself. He always had a listening ear and would often tell me
that I was like a son to him and he loved me. Those generous and loving words
will always echo in my mind. He will be greatly missed and his life will always
be appreciated for the things he taught me. With much love,

Ida Harford Blankenship, 94, passed away May 9, 2008 in the Mt. Carmel East Hospital, Columbus, Ohio. She was born on April
14, 1914, in Woodman, Ky., the daughter of John C. Robinson and Lydia Carolyn
Smith Robinson, who are both deceased.
She was preceded in death by her husband, David Harford Blankenship. She was the beloved mother of Betty Jo Dempsey (Silas J., deceased), Godfrey Johnny
(Sherrill) Blankenship, Wade Harford (Jean)
Blankenship, Jimmy Ray (Betty) Blankenship, Shirley

over her lifetime. She lived through 16 presidents, the depression, and three
wars. She knew how to do laundry on a washboard, grow her own food and sew her
own clothes. She was witness to such developments as the first picture show and
flight both in the sky and in space. She saw the growth of inventions such as
television, washing machines, telephones, automobiles and computers evolve and
develop. She remembers a time when neighbors were friendly, folks talked to
each other in person and the world moved at a much slower pace. Ida was loved
by many and her spunk and sense of humor will be greatly missed by her family
and friends.

Man Dies During
Alleged Copper Theft
A Kentucky man has been electrocuted while apparently trying to
steal copper wire from atop a Mingo County, W.Va., utility pole.
Greg Blankenship,
27, of Majestic, was pronounced dead at the scene of Wednesday's accident in
Vulcan. Blankenship was wearing gloves and had a small pair of bolt cutters
with him, State Police Sgt. J. C. Dotson said Thursday. "Apparently when
he went to cut the wire, he got a shock and it knocked him off the pole,"
Dotson said.
A man at the scene told officers he'd dropped Blankenship off at the utility pole and then went fishing at a nearby
fishing hole, said the sergeant. The man said he heard a pop around 6 p.m.,
went to investigate and found Blankenship on the ground -- about 30 feet from the
pole, Dotson said.
Blankenship 's body was taken to the West Virginia state
medical examiner's office in Charleston for an autopsy.
