Daily Times Davenport, Scott, Iowa Friday, Oct 12, 1906 JAMESTOWN JAMESTOWN, Oct. 10- Mrs. Stillman has sold her cottage to John Buckmeier and has moved to Canton, Ill., where her husband has been working in the coal mines. Her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Will Petersen, have moved there also as there is a very poor show for work here in the coal mines. The shafts that are running here now are about worked out. There are several veins of coal here yet that could be worked if some man with a little capital would come along and open up some of these places that contain coal. Mr. Brown has 40 acres of land with a good body of coal under it that could be worked to advantage and Messrs. Sam and Ed James and Mrs. John James have coal under their land also that could be worked with a profit to some men with a little capital. George Secoy has sold his cottage to his mother and has moved to Buffalo. Mr. Langwith has harvested his crop of onions and expects to have 1800 bushels. The funeral of Mrs. Peter Willey was largely attended, the cortege being a mile in length. She was an old settler, highly esteemed and respected by all who knew her. Eddie James, Jr., broke through into the old works in his new shaft and the water from the old mines came rushing in so fast that he has had to buy an engine to keep the water out before the men could get in to work.
