That's the way it was spelled. I also have an old Bible entry that states my grandmother Willie Lillian/Mae GORE was born @ Smythe Mining Camp while her parents lived there in 1900. BTW.......I'm still diggin4 my GORE's :-) Kay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Just happened on this website. It shows Readers Gap. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=33.39&lon=-86.94744&symshow=n&datum=nad27&layer=DRG Jim Nix

Kay, That is definitely Reeders Mining Camp. It was located off Highway 150. As you leave Bessemer and start up 14th Street Hill (Highway 150) there is a gap that used to be called Reeder's Gap. This was named for one of my husband's ancestors. Today that area is known as Muscoda. Here is how I read the entry 1920 Jefferson County, Alabama Census, Precinct 2, 1510 Reeders Mining Camp, Roll 20, 29 January 1920, SD 9, ED 2, Sheet 13B, Page 24B, #269/292 EDNEY, C. A.

Kay, Could that have been Reeder's Camp? That one was located near Bessemer near Muscoda, and Pine Mines. If you give a name from one of the pages, I could look it up, but hard to find from your description. Irma J.

Hi, I've been checking the census @ Ancestry for my ancestors and came upon: Jan. 29, 1920, Rudus? Mining Camp, Dist 2, Pct 2, Jefferson Co., AL, pg 13 B The adjoining pages also list the same mining camp, but I am unable to make it out. It looks to me like Rudus. Could someone please take a look at it and see what you can make out of it? Also, are there any online web sites that list where these mining camps were actually located?
