My name is Gary Ghee. Dads name was Henry Ghee. His father was Thomas Ghee of clay county West Virginia. He was married to Sarah Shepherd Ghee. I have one picture of Thomas my Grandfather. I am looking for pictures or any information on Grandmother. Sarah Shepherd Ghee. Thomas died in a mining accident in 1923. He is buried in Windal West Virginia. Any help on Sarah would be fantastic. Thanks. Gary Ghee
