{Saint Albans, West Virginia}...Marion County Democratic Party Delegate 64 year old Don "Butch" Furbee of Fairmont, was killed around 1:43 A.M. Saturday morning after his Honda Pilot left MacCorkle Avenue and hit the side of Faith Missionary Baptist Church just outside of Saint Albans. Kanawha County Sheriff Department Lt. B.C. Robbins says Furbee's car was heading westbound when it left the road and crossed both lanes of traffic before hitting the church.

No one knows where he went from there or why he was in Saint Albans.
