Edit: Ona, West Virginiacategory Anna Ona Vickers Handley Switzer born 1862 and died in

1962, one month from her one hundreth birthday. Town of Ona was named after her when

the railroads came through. Some type of contest had been issued, beauty or whatever; and

the township was named Ona from approximately 1878 when she was 16 years old. It is

realized that oral history is not always reliable. Grandpa has many stories from the

days in Cabell County. Grandpa was Richard Goodwin Valentine Handley. He was the nephew to

my great Aunt Ona. Numerous Handley's and Love's that are relatives came from Cabell Co.

West Virginia. I have various items from Aunt Ona and a couple of older photos. She is

buried in Eaton, Ohio with a large stone to mark the dates. She married and never had children. Zhand
