Gain's Store Mouth of Neds Run and Big Flint - late 1920's to mid 1940's

Our First Store Building on Big Flint, Doddridge County, WV, at mouth of Neds Run. I was born in the house to the left of the store (not visible in picture) on February 14, 1930.

The horseshoe pitcher is my Dad, David Riley Gain - He was a champion!
