Concerning a comment on Mass in Wheelersburg, Ohio. Mass is offered there on every Sunday in the afternoon by Fr Tien Le, who was ordained by Bishop Davilla and works with the CMRI. 
Occasional Monday morning Masses when he stays over.

That whole corridor, from Portsmouth (Wheelersburg is basically a suburb of Portsmouth, to the extent that such a small town can be said to have "suburbs") to Charleston along the Ohio and Kanawha rivers, about 100 miles from one end to the other, is pretty much a desert WRT traditional Catholicism, and the diocesan boundaries are quirky in that area, four dioceses come together --- Lexington, Wheeling-Charleston, and Steubenville are all fairly liberal, but Wheelersburg itself is in the Diocese of Columbus, which has recently gained a TLM-friendly bishop (Asian Indian).  Got to wonder if he might begin an indult Mass in Portsmouth to try and siphon people away.

That's tough country to live in, all of the heavy industry has moved out, and pretty much all they have left is education and health care.  No place I'd want to move to unless I had to.  The whole area is plagued by drug trade (opioids, fentanyl, meth, etc.) and it's not a pleasant place.  Good people, bad circuмstances.
