Accidental Cottonwood Story Tells Of Long Guardianship
A huge cottonwood along Route 143 east of the State Experiment Farm near Carpenter was planted about 85 years ago when a boy named Kearney Carpenter stuck a switch into the ground to curb a misbehaving horse. He protected the tree through the years until road engineers sought to cut it down. he ultimately prevailed. The tale ties to the Carpenter family and the Athens County homestead later owned by Clifford Campbell. In Point Pleasant, Thomas Claxton of Charleston was fined $50 and costs after a DUI arrest following a crash with Edgar Benge on Route 17. No injuries resulted.
