Gordon:
 
Is that the Goodykoontz family that owned the pharmacy?

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
December 24,  1911
 
IN CITY AND COALFIELD
------
Heavy Passenger Train
    Train No. 2 pulled out of the depot here  yesterday with twelve coaches 
loaded down with passengers for Virginia  points.  Among the interested 
people who watched the train leave this  city was Judge W. F. Rhea, of the 
Virginian Corporation Commission, who is  spending Christmas here as the guest 
of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and  Mrs. C. H. Goodykoontz.  The judge 
enjoys spending the holidays here with  his grandchildren, who spent 
Thanksgiving with him at Richmond.
------
Train Much Delayed
    Train No. 3, which was delayed the previous  night, arrived in the city 
yesterday morning shortly before 5 o'clock.   It was followed by train No. 
17.  The local offices of the Norfolk and  Western called up the hotels 
about a half hour before the train to advise them  of its coming so guests who 
wished to take the train going west could get up  in time to leave the city 
and arrive at their homes in time for  Christmas.  The service was much 
appreciated.

[No. 3 was due out of Bluefield at 8:30 p.m. in a 1910  Official Guide.]
