Thanks so much for putting that up! I have Mitchell and Small ancestors living in Breton, Walton and Harmony townships in the 1860’s, 70’s, and 80’s, who were listed as miners. This helps give background to what they might have been doing. Also kind of scary knowing what we do now about the toxicity of lead exposure.

Keowee Courier,  November 27, 1858 SENTENCED – William L. Hall, who, in 1857, killed a man named Bullock, in Washington County, Mo., has just been convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for 15 years. Madison Wisconsin State Journal, November 11, 1870 Boiler Explosion – An explosion took place a few days ago at Messrs. Clarkson and Henson’s saw mill situated some seven miles south of Potosi, Mo., which was the cause of serious and perhaps fatal, injury to four persons.  The force of the explosion was so great that the whole engine and boiler were lifted from their place and carried bodily through the roof of the mill, and having made several revolutions in the air, were deposited upon the ground 125 feet from their original position. St. Louis Post Dispatch, October 28, 1879 “Missouri Lead”                                                                                                                                                       About fifteen miles west of Potosi, the county set of Washington County, and about eighty miles distant from St. Louis, are what are known as the Palmer Lead Mines.  These mines are worked something after this manner:  The man who wants to dig for lead goes to the manager of the company at Palmer and gets a permit to mine on the company’s land. They stake him off a tract and the miner gets him a shovel, costing about $1.50, a tub at about $2.50, a rope $3.25, a pick $1.25, and goes to work.  In most cases lead is found at a depth of twenty-five or thirty feet, sometimes it is much deeper – forty or fifty feet; frequently it is found very near the surface. Shallow mineral is often found in the very grass roots. Of course, all do not find mineral at once; but it is only a question of perseverance and industry.  All find it in time in paying quantities.  As soon as he does find it, it is taken to the surface and cleaned.  Two men can, with a fair prospect, take of a thousand pounds a day. This ore is then weighted on the spot.  The miner gets a receipt for it, and can get his money for it at once at the company’s office.  No store pay or scrip-all cash; and the miner’s price for his mineral is governed by the lead market.  At present , the ore is advancing in price rapidly.  The miner gets a house furnished him free of charge on the company’s land, and all the ground he wants, rent free,  to raise what farm produce and vegetables he chooses, and he gets the privilege to cut all the wood he want on the company’s land free of charge – so that he has absolutely no expense but to buy his provisions, which can be bought there as cheaply as in St. Louis, and he need not be idle a day.  It requires no special knowledge for this work.  Any man that can use a pick and shovel can do it successfully.  Boys frequently make large sums of money by digging ore in shallow holes.  The railroad fare on the Iron Mountain Railroad to Potosi is about $2.  It need cost but little to remove any household goods from St Louis there, and to the strong, able workingman out of employment, and with house rent and coal bills to pay, what an opportunity is here for continued employment and free house room and an abundance of fuel gratis.  The mines are not far from St. Louis, the poorest man here can reach them on foot in three or four days, and it seems to be a good opening for all unemployed men. St. Louis Post Dispatch, January 2, 1884 Potosi, Mo.- Mr. Robert Peebles, an old citizen who resided alone in the suburbs of this place, was found dead in bed this morning. Cause of death unknown. St. Louis Post Dispatch, December 12, 1888 C.A.

I have seen other family trees that have his death date as 1925. I don't believe either of these is correct. I realize that this is a very old post so any newer information would be appreciated.

If so, the cert will list the last residence - (And you can work backwards from there.) http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/Results.asp?type=basic&tLName=Greer&tFName=John&sCounty=all&tYear= Or, that URL doesn't work, try: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/Default.asp Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There is a J.T. Greer (d. July 13, 1908) buried in Metcalf Cemetery. Elizabeth Greer d. Apr. 16, 1913 and is buried in Metcalf Cem. also (per death cert.) although no stone ? Their son John Greer Jr. is on the 1910 census in Johnson Twp., Washington Co.. He was the informant on Elizabeth's (his mother) death cert. as address of Undine, Mo. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated. They have been in Washington Co. since the 1880 census through to the 1910 census.
