Information from 1900 census

Judy Kesterson Smith purchased land that adjoined that of some of Thomas and Fannie's descendants on Back Valley Road in Coalfield. In the woods on land belonging to Iredell was the foundation of an oldhouse. Iredell, or W.I. as he was known, told Judy in the 1970s that the house burned when he was three years old. There were huge cuts and stone rocks still standing and stacked where the foundation was and a hole that appeared to be a cellar beneath the house. The land can't be reached except by crossing land belonging to others so can't be explored. In the early 1980s Judy and Cecil Byrge carried a few of the cut standstone rocks back to Judy's house and used them to line the creek behind Judy's home in Back Valley. I believe Clark Brooks, son of Rebecca Kesterson Brooks, now owns that land. 02-10-2007 Judy Solis

May McGlothin believed the McGlothins in Coalfield followed the Fagansto this area. The Fagans are found in the 1930 census in the Camparea of coalfield, north of Highway 62 but earlier in the Coalhillarea. No other evidence supports this.

Jos. Richards, Jr., Supt. Oliver Coal Co., Oliver Springs, Tenn.

Dear Sir : As soon as you get the Felker entry through to the prop, make it a permanent air-course ; also put up a good furnace, one that will give a sufficient quantity of air for the men on the inside; and be very careful to examine the loose slate on the cross entries and haulways. As soon as you have complied with these changes you will greatly oblige me by notifying this office.

Yours very respectfully,
Jno. E. Lloyd, Com. of Labor $ Ins. of Mines.

Wesley McLaughlin was killed by turning a room on Ivey Entry, September 18th, by a fall of slate; cause, as proven by the evidence of those present, that as the rules are of this company in turning these rooms from the entry are 6 feet wide and this was 10 feet wide, thus giving room for the draw slate in the neck of the room to draw and give, so as to give chance to the entry top, which is full of slants, as a general thing, to give way also, and as common. He intended to stand a prop as soon as he could get the car loaded and take some of the draw slate down in the face of his room.

Testimony of A.R.Wall: I was working in about 12 feet of deceased when the slate fell on him and killed him. He was on the entry near the mouth of his room. I helped take some of the slate off him. He was loading a car when it happened. The fall was rotten slate. I think there was two or three tons. I was the first man to him.

Testimony of W.H. Jackson: I worked in Richards Mine today. I know that Wesley McGlothin was killed there. He was killed by a fall of rotten slate. There were three or four tons of it. He was loading a car in the entry near the mouth of his room when it occurred. Roe Wall told me that he told McGlothin that the top was "drummy". It should have been timbered.

The verdict of the jury was that he came to his death by falling slate.
