By Dick Duez on January 15, 2023 from History Blog
Here is a look at the old C&H Market that was located on Main Street and served the community for years. The business, which was located across the road from the old Bridgeport Bank building, is shown in a 1962 photo.
This photo, courtesy of and taken by Steve Brightwell, shows the late Donna Douglas, better known to most as Elly Mae Clampett of the show The Beverly Hillbillies. This is from the late 1990s at the Stawberry Festival in Buckhannon, likely 1999, and that is Bridgeport resident Mike Queen on the left and the late Gov. Cecil Underwood on the right.
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. , the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing effortsDuez to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dickdo@citynet.net.
The bottom photo should be reversed. Mike Queen is to our left and the late Gov. Cecil Underwood to our right.
