My grandmothers year of birth was 1914 and my fathers 1940) Cassville, Ohio is no longer around as it went underwater when the local dams were built. Moorefield is still existent however it has a dwindling population of about 50-75 people. This stock certificate has been kept in a picture frame protected by glass and is in excellent condition.
