In 2019, the County Commission approved the Historical Society’s request to place a Christmas tree (see above) in the hallway of the Courthouse with bulbs with Veteran’s names and pictures on it.
This tree was such a success, they had planned to continue this on as a County tradition.
For the next two years, the pandemic was all the rage and the tree was not erected.
This year, a new tree that is stronger and slightly bigger has been donated anonymously to the Historical Society to be used strictly as the Veteran’s Tree. (The first tree used being donated for this year’s use to the Academy/Early Childhood Learning Center.)
Pictured above is the first Tree of Honor and the second photo is the unpacking of the new tree.
DODDRIDGE COUNTY
VETERANS
Christmas Tree – Part 1
The Doddridge County Historical Society will be erecting the Veterans Christmas Tree in the D. C. Courthouse again this year after the 2-year pandemic spoiler years. We have a new tree purchased by a private citizen that is bigger and better than ever. We hope you’ll stop in to see it. All Veterans who were killed in action will have a black ribbon. Be sure to notice them.
Below are listed the Doddridge County Veterans’ surnames we have thus far. All our Veterans can have their porcelain ornament placed among their brothers-in-arms at the Doddridge County Courthouse. Does your Veteran have one on the Veteran Tree? Contact the Doddridge County Historical if you would like to purchase one for your Veteran as soon as possible to ensure he or she is recognized this year. All Veterans who were killed in action will be provided a photo ornament courtesy of the Doddridge County Historical Society.

Space does not allow for all our soldiers in a single issue. Next week, I shall publish Doddridge County’s Veterans with surnames “H” through “Z”. If you should have corrections, additions, or other information regarding a Veteran not listed or listed but misspelled, please contact me at The Herald-Record. They will get your message to me or email me directly at: [email protected]. You can also call me at: 304-873-1540/ 304 266-1291.
God Bless.
