Christine, Here are a few names to get you started for Campbell County. Keep in mind that mines were frequently operated by several companies over the years. One company might lease from the land owner for a time and when the lease expired it was often leased to another company offering a better deal. Also, mining companies were sold, traded and consolidated on a regular basis. Gail Bon Jellico Coal Company Campbell Coal Mining Company Cross Mountain Coal, Inc.

From The Oak Ridger 2 Jul 2004 Patsy Lou Keith, 72, Chloe H. Liles, 80, of Oliver Springs, L.B. "Moon" Mullins, 76, of the Marlow community of Anderson County, Elsie S. Prouty, 90, of Florence, Ala., Tom J. Walters, 90, of Clinton, Patsy Lou Keith, 72, died Wednesday, June 30, 2004, fighting for her life, as she did when she was born. She was born at home weighing 3 pounds and before incubators or baby formulas had been thought of. She was the daughter of R. Virgil and Clara Williams Keith of Clinton. She spent her entire life in the same house on Maire Avenue in Clinton. After working for five years at Magnet Mills she became the first legal secretary of attorney, J. Carson Ridenour when he established what is now Ridenour & Ridenour in July 1956. She retired from Ridenour & Ridenour in 1993, some 47 years later. According to her family, Miss Keith was quick-witted, fast-talking and right to the point. No matter the task, her family said she loved to show everyone around her that she could do it faster. At 130 words per minute, she was the ultimate tormentor of the old fashioned typewriter; and her sewing machine was just as fast. Her family said she had many talents and she was always involved in arts and crafts. Not only did she grow beautiful flowers, she designed and made beautiful ceramic pots and vases she displayed them in. She was an accomplished self-taught artist, especially good at painting flowers, landscapes, still-life and interesting old dilapidated barns and grist mills, her family said. Miss Keith was a strong, devoted Southern Baptist at First Baptist Church in Clinton, who always tithed, according to her family. After her doctor told her she had cancer, her family said she immediately paid off the balance of her 2004 pledge. For decades she taught Sunday school and sang in the choir and was a generous patron of the church building expansion projects. Her family said she was also generous with her time helping others at the drop of a hat. Miss Keith was a past member of the Anderson County Women's Business and Professional Association. She loved everything about cats, especially their strong-willed independence, which she emulated in her daily life. Miss Keith is survived by her brother, Joel Keith and wife, Betsy, of Nottingham, Md.; her nieces, Judy and Alan Miller, Nancy and Glenn Kroneberger and Melony and Lee Bopst; three grandnephews, Justin Miller, Conner Bopst and Benjamin Kroneberger; and by her grandniece, Abigail Kroneberger, the only girl born in the Kroneberger family in the last 94 years. Her family said they would like to thank all who helped Miss Keith and her brother, Joel, on this last seven-month journey. "Patsy had many friends, but we would like to especially thank, Patsy's good neighbors, lifelong friends, her Sunday school class at Clinton First Baptist and Joe and Lily Farmer, who were so devoted, dedicated and always showed up in the nick of time," her family said. The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 3, 2004, in the chapel of Holley-Gamble Funeral Home in Clinton with the Rev. Terry Baker officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset Cemetery in Clinton. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 2, and from 1 to 2 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home. Chloe H. Liles, 80, of Oliver Springs, died Sunday, June 27, 2004, at her home. Born March 28, 1924, in Anderson County and a lifelong resident of the area, Mrs. Liles was the daughter of Frank Hackworth and Lela Pearl Guthrie Hackworth. She was a member of Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church in Coalfield. Her family described her as a homemaker with many special interests, adding that flower and vegetable gardening were her greatest talents. Her family said she could rebirth a flower that looked doomed and grow vegetables in ways that most people would only hope to do so. Family members said she was always quick with advice about the ways things were done in the past. She knew the life of a farm girl and enjoyed talking about her youth. Mrs. Liles also loved local travel and keeping in touch with her old friends, according to her family.

She was born at home weighing 3 1/2 pounds before incubators or baby formulas had been thought of. She spent her entire life in the same house on Maire Avenue, Clinton, Tennessee. After working for 5 years at Magnet Mills she became the first legal secretary of attorney, J. Carson Ridenour when he established what is now Ridenour & Ridenour in July 1956. She retired from Ridenour & Ridenour in 1993, some 47 years later. Patsy was quick witted, fast talking & right to the point. No matter the task, she loved to show everyone around her that she could do it faster. At 130 words per-minute, she was the ultimate tormentor of the old fashioned typewriter; and her sewing machine was just as fast. Patsy had many talents. She was always involved in arts & crafts. Not only did she grow beautiful flowers, she designed and made beautiful ceramic pots & vases she displayed them in. She was an accomplished artist (self taught) especially good at painting flowers, landscapes, still-life and interesting old dilapidated barns & grist mills. Patsy was a strong devoted Southern Baptist at Clinton First Baptist who always tithed. After her doctor told her she had cancer she immediately paid off the balance of her 2004 pledge. For decades she taught Sunday School & sang in the choir at First Baptist and was a generous patron of the church building expansion projects. She was also generous with her time helping others at the drop of a hat. Patsy was a past member of the Anderson County Women's Business and Professional Association. Patsy loved everything about cats, especially their strong willed independence; which she emulated in her daily life. Patsy was the daughter of the late R. Virgil & Clara Williams Keith of Clinton, Tennessee. She is survived by her brother, Joel & wife Betsy Keith of Nottingham, Maryland & her nieces; Judy & Alan Miller, Nancy & Glenn Kroneberger & Melony & Lee Bopst.
