Eloise Richardson
*
..,
By Novella Cook
During the antlerless deer
. season, hunters everywhere stalked
the timbers hoping for that perfect
specimen to take home to the freezer.
However, for Eloise Richardson, she
didn't go far. She couldn't! Because
of severe arthritis inher knees. This
88-year-old lady stood by her porch,
rifle in hand v,d v-ited for her
chance.
While the men folk trampled the
mountain in search of the kill. One
shot brought the animal down. Her
next concern was how she could get
to it. Her son luckily, heard the shot
and came to the rescue. This is the
norm for Eloise. Every year, until
she was about 85, she showed the
men in the family up by always
KILLS DEER
Hunting has been a passion for
Eloise ever since she married 72
years ago. Her husband, Dorse,
encouraged her to tag along with
him. After a while her aim was so
accurate, she seldom ever missed
her target of squirrels, grouse, and
turkey. Several years ago she
ambled offto her favorite spot in the
woods. In a short time a huge
gobble r , along with several of his
friends,
made their way directly below
where she stood. Taking aim, she
fired one shot. Feathers flew
everywhere, and she was elated.
That is, until she went to pick him
up. Instead of one, there were three
dead birds...Now, she would have a
difficult time explaining this!

By Shirley Garten Jolliffe
Scott Briers is a second-
generation furniture store owner
and operator and he is proud of his
family, and Hinton's heritage. Briers'
Furniture Store, owned and
operated by Scott's father, opened
on June 1, 1948, located where the
CASE office is now housed. ScotL
started worked at the store when he
was a teen-ager, after school and on
weekends.
Scott well remembers Hinton in
her heyday, when downtown was a
bustle of economic activity, because
of the railroad. He remembers when
there were four furniture stores in
Hinton, and none of them were hurt
by the competition. He also
remembers when a family could buy
two rooms of good furniture for less
than $350. Scott Briers spoke
eloquently to me about how Hinton
is typical of most towns and cities
across this country, in that most
business is done in malls and huge
national chain stores now, instead
of downtowfi, local!y
operated businesses. Scott Briers
say:* tbat ho till m,qko 1;,.;ng from
the store, but he will he the last
Briers to run the place. A Hinton
tradition will end with this
generation, mad it is sad.
Scott Briers started his adult,
business life very soon after he
graduated from Concord College,
, an'd.'mar-aied his boloved, life-long
:'te/Erfiily. He,and'his ' wife have
tlie r6wn ehfldre n, none of whom
live in dbvntown Hinton, but all live
within the state. Scott Briers says
that family mean a lot to him and
now he enjoys having as much time
as possible to play with his
grandchildren.
His church is also important to
Scott Briers, and he is a mevfiber of
Miller Memorial Baptist Church and
he is proud of his sustaining faith
in God. He is devoted to his ear!y
morning BIBLE study and prayer
time, and he is very active in his
church.
Scott Briers used to be very active
in many local organizations, such as
the Rotary Club, the Hinton Jay
Cees, of which he was a charter
member. He won Jaycee of the Year
award one year aqd it still gives him
pride. He remembers, with laughter,
the years the Jaycees put the yearly
Minstrel show on in Hinton and he
remembers with pride that the
Jaycees were instrumental in
getting the Summers County
Hospital in Hinton.
When asked what he likes best
about Hinton, Scott Briers says
simply, "Hinton is my home. I've
never really known anyplace else. It
has great people. It fascinates me
the number of people who have
chosen to live here from other states.
People will com e to visit friends and
just never leave. Several of these
people have become my friends and
I joke with them that they are better
West Virginians than I am."
Scott Briers says also, Hinton has
been good to me. I like the people
and I like to help out the community
as much as I can. I know I used to
do more and I sometimes feel bad
about that but I now like to have as
much time to spend with my grand
kids as I can, so I cut back on the
organizational activities."
When asked how he would like to
be remembered, Scott Briers says,
"I want to be remembered as a
person who was honest, sincere, and
who ('nro. nbm!t (dh,. " That is
often rare in businessman these
days, but Scott Briers is a rare
businessman.
