Remnants of old Wease homestead on Annamoriah
One can only imagine what it would be like to loose everything in a house fire. The
Kevin Wease family lost all their possessions when their house on Annamoriah Creek
burned to the ground the day before Christmas. Wease's two sons barely escaped the
fire, only partially clothed.
Wease had a large collection of musical instruments, in addition to family artifacts
and pictures, which can never be replaced. He did not have insurance, mostly
because insurance underwriters do not write policies for old farm houses out in the
country, unless you pay an arm and a leg. Wease is a well-known musician in the
area.
"We're making it, though," said Wease, who is living in an apartment with his wife and
two sons above the former Twin's Auto in Big Bend. He said he is extremely grateful
to the many people who have come forward to help the family. "We are thankful to our
friends and neighbors," he said. "It has been a wonderful experience, their
generosity."
Wease and his brother Rodney have opened an auto repair shop at the old Twins site
in Big Bend. "We have a lot of experience in auto repair, and we would appreciate
some more customers," he said. Wease's new business is called Little Kanawha Car
Care. They are doing brake, exhaust system, tires, tune-ups and other minor
repairs.
