Betty, We are obviously cousins several times over! One of my great grandmothers was Rachel Beavers (m. Charles Godbey). I am descended from 3 daughters of James and Rachel Skaggs. I am intrigued by your father's name. My Dad is Arleth - wonder if the two names are connected?? Dad's name was originally a surname spelled Arlette - it means a promise or a pledge. Any idea of the origin of Arleigh?

Hi Judy, If you had Peerys in Tazewell County, we are probably cousins! My Peery family did end up in Wythe and Bland Counties. I am descended from William Peery (Thomas, Thomas) and Mary "Polly" Wynn Matilda Peery m. Harrison Boling Mary Jane Boling m. Gordon Cloyd Conley Abiga Thomas Conley m. Eliza Jane Barrett (My great grandparents) Your Shannon and my Conley family have another name in common: You have William Vermillion Shannon and I have Reason Vermillion Godbey. I believe it was the custom to name children after admired neighbors. So you might investigate the Vermillion family and look in their neighborhood. Happy Hunting!

They have the good wishes of all the people. Mr. J.L. CLAY, from the Castlewood country was badly injured the night of the show at Tip Top. He had been working with J.D. FARMERS bridge force on the Bell Hill siding bridges. The cars in which they lived were on the side track, and several of the force went up to see the show. After it was over the men all came back to the cars except Clay, who it was said left Tip Top about 2 o'clock the next morning. He had walked a mile and was nearly to the cars, when it is thought, an East bound train struck him, crushing his skull and bruising him. He was taken to Castlewood on the morning train. Dr. WILLIAMS assisted by some others took out a piece of the skull bone. At last account he was doing fairly well with some chance of recovery. This force of men have had several bad accidents while here. Grat BARNETTE, one of the gang was run over at Bluefield by a train and nearly killed, but is thought will get well. The first iron ore to leave the Bill Hill mines will be shipped today if nothing happens. They would have loaded cars last night but the shifter failed to leave them at tipple. Iron all around Tip Top, limestone at Five Oaks, coke and coal at Pocahontas and Furnace at Graham, Tazewell Co., ought to be made one of the richest in the state - Tom SMOOT, the John Warnamaker of this county has bought the Masonic hall from Keystone Lodge here, and will use it as a store soon. He is making large additions to the house. Who don't know the genial Tom, the bustling Tom? He and his wife are living here now in the L.C. WINGO property. Grat GILLESPIE has bought out the Harman Bros. and is selling goods now at this place. ------------------------------- Mr. H. Lee BROWN, who, with his brother, has a fine poultry farm near Tip Top, exhibited a fine pair of chickens on the street on court day. They were about ten weeks old, and hatched by an incubator, and as fine specimens of pure bred Plymouth Rocks as one could wish to see. The Brown Bros. are building up a fine business. A ready market is found for all the chickens they can furnish, at 10c a pound. They have sold a number of hens that brought as much as $1.20 each. It will pay any one who raises chickens to get a pair of these pure bred, fine fowls. The community was shocked on Wednesday when the news spread abroad that George B. HURT was dead. His death occurred early Wednesday morning, at his home at Cedar Bluff of typhoid fever. He had been sick several weeks, and no strong hopes had been entertained of his recovery from an early stage of the disease. George B. HURT was one of the best known of all our younger business men. To say that he was a good man is as strong language as need be used. He had the confidence and respect of everybody who knew him - the very soul of honor, and as nearly incapable of doing wrong as it was possible for any human to be. The worlds loss is great when such men die. At the time of this death he was a member of the large milling firm of Higginbotham & Hurt, at Cedar Bluff. He leaves a wife and one child, two brothers - John B. and C.G. and an aged mother to mourn his death. The burial took place at Cedar Bluff on yesterday.

Thanks. Based on LDS info, guess that means that Charles and Frank Caldwell in 1990 census of Tazewell Co Clear Fork District are the sons of Andrew and Julia. Charles is listed as age 34, with wife Ellie L., b. Mar 1872, dau Mildred b. Jun 1892, son William b, Jan 1896 and dau Jamie (sp?) b. Jan 1898. Charles and Ellie were married for 8 years in 1900. She had 4 children, three of whom were alive when the census was taken. Frank was born Oct 1871; wife Loretta E. was born Apr 1880; and son Christian C. was born Mar 1898. Frank and Loretta were married 3 years in 1900. The couple had no other children.

Sorry, I don't have Caldwells in my line. I answered a question sent to the Tazewell Co rootsweb group concerning a Caldwell family. I have included the the group address on this email in case someone who subscribes to the list can provide better information. I did find a Mrs. Julia Coldwell, age 61, listed in the 1900 census in Tazewell Co Pocahontas location (which probably includes Yards). She is listed as a widow with a birth year of Mar 1839. She had 9 children, all of whom were alive in 1900. Living with her in 1900 were here daughters Kate 18, b. May 1882 and Marnie(sp?) 13, b. Apr 1887. Looks like here husband died sometime between 1887 and 1900. There is also a Link Coldwell, age 28, listed in the 1900 census in Tazewell Co Pocahontas location. He was born in Nov 1872 and worked as a farm laborer at the time of this census. Living with him is his wife Nettie, age 20, b. Apr 1880, and his daughter Ora, age 1, born Nov 1898. Also listed, but in the Maiden Spring location, is a Martha Coldwell, age 19, b. Sep 1880, who is living with her sister Sarah Quisenberry, age 24, b. Apr 1876. I assume Sarah's maiden name is Coldwell. Also living with them are Sarah's husband Con (sp?), their son, age 6, and three younger daughters. The only other Coldwell in the area is the family of James H. Coldwell, age 61 (same as Julia Coldwell). I listed the members of his family in my response to the other person who posed a question about Caldwell/Coldwell families in Tazewell Co. James Coldwell's family lives very close to Mrs. Julia Coldwell. They are listed on the following census page. Could he be Andrew's brother? There were no Caldwells listed in the 1900 census in the Pocahontas location. There were three in the Maiden Spring District and two in the Clear Fork district. I could not find Andrew and Julia Caldwell/Coldwell in the 1880 census on the LDS site. Where are they listed?

Julia is buried as Coldwell in the little cemtary up in Yards, but I can't find where Andrew is buried, probably there, unmarked. Thanks for your time.

In 1900 census James H Coldwell's family is listed in Pocahontas District of Tazewell County on Sheet 16A. This lists him at age 61, his wife Juda at age 55 and children Mollie 17, Jessie M (dau) 12, and Frederick 9. Juda had 9 children, 8 of whom were alive in 1900. In the 1910 census, you probably noticed that Fred Caldwell, age 19, lived with his sister Jessie M. Smith (married to Peter Smith), age 21, and her husband. They were listed a few lines above Edgar R and Mollie Jarrett. Hope this helps.

Mrs. PECK has been ill for some time, but we are glad to state that she is improving. She is expecting her children from Texas today, which no doubt will revive her a great deal. On last Saturday, while in town, Miss Rosa BURTON lost a belt pin which she prized very highly. The pin was an oblong shape, with a figure of a lion on it; silver plated.

Enlisting at Fort Slocum, N.Y. he was transferred to Fort Strong and soon qualified at 1st class gunner, after which, due to his honest and industry, he was promoted to the general fatigue staff, as right guide, then to the much coveted position as chief of the ammunition hoist, thus curring favor with his commanding officer, from which he was promoted to the honorable position of chief of company bakers, with the rank of sergeant, commonly called "bread sergeant" which position he now holds, but his comrades do not expect him to stay long in this position, as a young gentleman of his caliber is soon promoted.

August 2, 1912 Mrs. Rebecca Jane FLIPPING, age seventy three died at the home of her son in law, W.M. RATLIFF, at Big Vain, Saturday, and was buried in Graham cemetery Sunday afternoon. Deceased was born in Henry County, Virginia. She had been making her home with her daughters, Mrs. RATLIFF, and had made many friends in the community where she lived, which is evidenced by the large number of the leading people of the neighborhood who accompanied her remains to Graham. The funeral services at the house and at the grave were conducted by Rev. W.M. MINTER, whose remarks regarding the life and character of the deceased were very tender and were made the subject of an appeal to the living to emulate her good qualities and lead nobler lives. FREELING -------------------------------------- Mrs. William MCFALL has just returned from a visit to relatives at Bolecamp. Wesley VANOVER, of Clintwood, was at Freeling during the week. Claude F. BEVERLY left for Pikeville, Kentucky, Huntington, West Virginia, and other points. Mrs. Charles REED is visiting relatives at Etty, Kentucky, this week. Mrs. Reuben MCFALL is visiting two of her children on Boone Creek. Mrs. John TRIVITT is suffering from cancer. There appears to be but little hope for her recovery. Walter E. BEVERLY has returned to Rocky Mount, after a week's stay with relatives here. The Marshall too, three of Dickenson County's moonshiners into custody while they were vending their wares near Jenkins, Ky. Their names are Oliver REED, Clintwood MULLINS and Meredith REED. They were lodged in jail at Whitesburg to await the next term of Federal court. TANNERSVILLE -------------- Major Otis CALDWELL's serious illness is causing much uneasiness among his family and his many friends. He was a Confederate soldier and is ninety-two years old, and there is not much hope for his recovery. At present his daughter's Mrs. EARNEST and Mrs. BREWSTER and son, Bert CALDWELL, are all at his bedside. Mr. HANSHEN, of J.L. Vance and Co. Chilhowie, was in the valley last Tuesday in the interest of his company. M.F. BROWN, Albert CALDWELL, Kirk and Patrick, all brought mowing machines, and Patrick Brothers, a wagon from him. Mr. KENDRICK, Tazewell, and M.F. BROWN and a squad of braves went to North Holston Tuesday to load lumber, but failed to get a car, and returned mad. Mrs. Sallie HOLMES has returned to her home here, after a week's visit to her son, Dr. E.A. HOLMES, at Broadford. Mrs. R.P. HILT was visiting at Mr. T.L. PATRICK'S Sunday and Monday. Mrs. R.W.

Mrs. W.E. ABEL, Mr. and Mrs. WEBB, R.P. HILT and family, visited "Rob" ABEL Sunday. ------------ Miss Lucretia MAHOOD, Burke's Garden, has been the guest of Mrs. B.F. LEWIS, for several days. Miss MAHOOD is said to be not only one of the best women but one of the best farmers, in Burkes Garden. The editor has been hauled over the coals for failing to mention this fair farmer in his enumeration of Burkes Garden farmers, recently made in this paper. It was an unintentional omission, to be sure. Also, he was hauled up and asked why he omitted to mention BOWLING, one of the best, and why he said that the fine clover field belonged to Levi RHUDY when in fact it was his brother, John's. And so it goes. Mistakes will occur in the best regulated families and editorial offices. The editor promises to do better next time and begs everybody's forgiveness. ---------- Tazewell has a "death corner." A correspondent calls attention to it in this issue. This paper has called attention to it heretofore. We mean the sharp turn at lower Main Street. Automobiles rushing around that turn in either direction cannot be seen until they are right on you. Two 4 horse wagons have scarcely room to pass each other. The speed limit is twelve miles per hour, for autos is entirely too fast for this sharp, dangerous curve. No deaths or accidents have occurred at "Death's Corner" as yet, but there is no telling when some accident will occur there. Is the road or street the regulation width at this point? Are the houses and fences off the right of way? If not, why not? The number of automobiles is increasing steadily all the time. These machines do not frighten each other, or cause each other to run away and smash things up. How about drivers of wagons and buggies? Have these no right to protection and safety? Will the authorities please investigate "Death's C! orner!" POUNDING MILL ----------------- Mrs. Ollie HURT and daughter, Lois and Miss Anita GILLESPIE, Tazewell, Mr. C.G. HURT and daughter, Miss Elizabeth, of Indian, and Mr. William CECIL of Arkansas, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. w.B. STEELE and family, the three latter spending the night also. James NEELE, mail carrier, is taking a few days vacation, and the mail is being delivered by his assistant, Mr. THOMAS. The many friends of John M. STURGILL here were grieved to hear of his death in Tampa, Florida, which took place on last Saturday. He had charge of the Union News Stand at that place, and had only been there a short time, having gone from Durham, North Carolina, where he held a similar position. His body is expected here on the train in the morning, and funeral services will be conducted at 11 o'clock at the Church of God by Rev. WILSON, of Big Stone Gap assisted by Rev.
