John Luther Coyner, Born 1/26/1906 and died 10/12/77. Age 71. Edwin Yancey Coyner, brother, Evalyn K Coyner, sister, Samuel G. Coyner, nephew.

Mr. Coyner was interviewed at his home in Clover Lick, WV. He and members of his family operated a sawmill nearby for many years. The C and O rail line ran by the property up the Greenbrier River to Durbin, which was also served by the Western Maryland Railroad.

Mr. Coyner was soft spoken and modest during the interview. He appeared ill and passed away a short time later. His account of the family operation, though brief, was interesting.
