County Courthouse Records Show Deaths And Multiple Land Transfers
County courthouse filings from November 17 through November 23 recorded two death certificates and a string of property transfers that could affect ownership and local tax rolls. These filings matter to residents because they reflect estate settlements, property consolidation and potential changes in land use in communities including Welch, Coalwood and Crumpler.
McDowell County clerk records filed between November 17 and November 23 show two death certificates and several land transactions that update the legal ownership of properties across the county. No marriage certificates were filed during that week, according to the courthouse records.
The death certificates filed on November 21 list Cheri Lea England and Theresa Sorah. Those filings register deaths officially with the county and may trigger estate actions or transfers noted elsewhere in the public record.
The land transfers span Browns Creek, Welch, Big Creek, Crumpler, Northfork, Centerville Section and War District locations. On November 17 Oakwood Shires LLC conveyed lot 29 Kirby Bros, 2nd. Addition in the Browns Creek District to Elizabeth Rowe. On November 19 a group of heirs identified as Dioleda Thompson, Roxanna Thompson, Grant Thompson Jr. and Stacy Thompson, heirs of the Grant T. Thompson Estate, transferred block 2 lot 18 Pt. McDowell in the Welch District to Joshua Little. Also on November 19 Rebecca L. Beck, Raymond Alexander Rose, Deborah J. Ready and Andrea Parks transferred lot 409 block B Coalwood and lot 410 in the Big Creek District to Theodore Hazzard.
On November 20 Dale Sizemore conveyed three tracts situated in Crumpler in the Northfork District to LHB Holdings LLC. That same day Christopher A. Saunders transferred property to Rowland W. Beavers and Christopher A. Saunders in a transaction recorded with right of survivorship for tract 1 and tract 2 parcels in Centerville Section and areas near the Town of War in the War District. On November 21 Northfolk Southern Railway Company conveyed a 0.48 acre portion surface in the Welch District to Horne Holdings LLC.
For local residents these filings signal changes that can affect property tax statements, future development, and land management. Transfers from estates indicate the settling of family holdings while sales to holding companies and a transfer of a small surface parcel from a railway company suggest potential commercial or investment interest in county land. Property owners in the named districts may see updated records at the courthouse and should review deeds if pending sales or boundary questions touch their parcels.
