The community that immediately shaped the faith of my Ice ancestors, and in which at least three generations of Ice’s participated, is Center Point Christian Church in Center Point, Doddridge County, West Virginia. Their involvement in this congregation in the 1850′s and 1860′s is the earliest I can place them, with certainity, in the Stone-Campbell movement. The origins of this [...]

I can trace my Ice roots in the Restoration Movement back to my great-great-great grandparents, Isaac and Elizabeth Ice, residents in and near Center Point, Doddridge County (West) Virginia.

In one sense our stacks are my reference shelf, [...]
