Downtown Wheelwright, located in Floyd County, Aug. 7, 1979. At the time of this photo, a little over 800 people lived in the Eastern Kentucky town. Today it is about the same. The town was founded by the Elk Horn Coal Company in 1916 and was named for the company's president at that time, Jere H. Wheelwright. The building with the Wheelwright Clinic sign has since been torn down. Photo by Byran Lutz
