Most sincerely, Cindy Rizzardi (I married a Lafferty,Oh fellow in 1971, and most of our family except for a few in St. Clairsville are gone now, but we always read the passings of the area on Beck Funeral Home site.) Keeping You all in prayer.

    My deepest sympathy. From when I was young I remember Uncle Biddle really liked Chevrolets and he always had pair of scissors on his belt. I assume the scissors were something is did with his work at the phone company, but the thing that impressed me was he could cut a penny in half them. It's funny what sticks with you.
