My maternal,grandfather, Charles Minix was elected to the position of jailer in Salyersville, Kentucky, Magoffin County, in 1910 on the Republican ticket. He married Sarah Jane Reed and they had 9 children and relocated to southern Ohio in the Portsmouth area around 1915. Later they moved to a small farm which adjoined their daughter and son-in-law, Chester and Leona Risner on Hayport Road in wheelersburg, Ohio. My sister and I have many fond memories of visiting my grandmother here as children. Grandpa died in 1941.
