Fayette County Courthouse and Jail, Fayetteville, West Virginia
I remember going on a trip to the jail with the Girl Scouts in Fayetteville, 1959-60. I felt bad about going in there and staring at them like they were animals in the zoo. KB

Read Chapter XVII to learn more about the sheriffs of Fayette County and the events that occurred during their terms. Below is a newspaper clipping about Sheriff George W. McVey, Jr., from June 11, 1885, publication not identified, but I believe it was a Wheeling paper.
