If you have this book scanned, may I suggest putting it on a web site where people can do their own look ups. I have the same book but I don't think it would survive the scanning process. Renee L. Waring

Lesley, Thank you so much for your willingness to do lookups in your Philipsburg Historical Book. Could you please do a lookup for Edmundson or Edmiston and Stimer. I know they were miners and lived in Sandy Ridge. Thank you so much. Beverly walker0369@msn.com

Lesley, Thank you so much for your willingness to do lookups. What dates does this book cover? I would be very much interested in the DAVID surname as well. I would also appreciate a lookup for WILKINSON. John Wilkinson was a coal miner I believe. May have been a farmer. Thank you again.

The saw mills of O. L. Schoonover and B. F. Merritt & Co., are the only ones now in operation along the banks of the Moshan-non, and in recent years neither board rafts nor "log drives" have ruffled the waters of the "dark stream," which its name is said to signify in the vernacular of the aborigines who once inhabited this part of the country. The change that has taken place in lumbering has been very great, or it may be more properly said that the business has ceased almost entirely in this locality, and the time is coming when the experiences of raftsmen and log-floaters, like the deeds of Indian braves, will be remembered only in song or story. The poet had possibly a scene like this in mind when he expressed the idea that "Change is written on the tide, On the forest's leafy pride; On the streamlet glancing bright; On the jewel'd crown of night- All where'er the eye can rest. Show it legibly imprest!" Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I got it all scanned tonight, here's what I have: The Monarch Coal Company's enterprise at Drane is perhaps the most important movement in coal matters in this region for years for the reason that it has disclosed the possibilities of the "B" seam under water level and opened the way to thousands of acres yet untouched and underlying the unworked sections of immense territory in our vicinity. This Company is a chartered organization and has under lease eight hundred acres of "B" coal and controls over two thousand acres, all of which will come out through a shaft put down at a depth of 130 feet The officers of the Company are Charles Wesley, of Philadelphia, President; Charles Soby, of Philadelphia, Vice President, and Harry M. Hughes, Treasurer and General Manager. The equipment of this mine is a splendid one and enables it to put out 1,500 tons per day when working full time Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
