October 13, 1905 Mr. Charles Walter STEELE and bride Miss Clara Vawter HULL, of Norton, who were married at Norton Wednesday, arrived here Wednesday on the noon train and are stopping at the home of the grooms parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.J. STEELE, where the happy couple have been receiving the congratulations of a host of friends. They were married in the Methodist Episcopal church Wednesday morning, at Norton by Rev. C.R. BROWN, of Tazewell. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens. Fred B. STEELE, a brother of the groom, was best man and Miss Pauline V. HULL was maid of Honor. The ushers were Messrs. Henry GILMER, James FLEMMING, Frank WILSON and John MCCOLGAN. Mr. and Mrs. STEELE were the recipients of a handsome number of presents, among the number being 30 pieces of fine out glass. Mr. and Mrs. STEELE will return to Norton Monday. They will go to house keeping about the 10th of November. ------ The parties who were indicted here for selling Jamaica Ginger, were tried before H.G. PEERY, Esq., recently, and fined $600 each. They were given the option of confessing judgment and paying $200 each, or appealing to Circuit Court. They accepted the former and, here it is supposed, the matter will end, so far as the cases are concerned here. It is rumored, however, that the parties will perhaps proceed against the wholesale people who sold the goods in the first place, as it was not know that the ginger was an intoxicating drink, it is claimed. It is further stated that the merchants who purchased and sold the goods were assured by the wholesale people that the ginger was not an intoxicant, only a nice beverage suitable for a local option community, so there you are. Whether the merchants in question will bring action against the wholesale people for damages remains to be seen. At any rate, hereafter, who wants to steam up will be under the necessity of sending their orders to Pocahontas, Bluefield, or elsewhere, where the genuine article is sold. ------- Mr. and Mrs. C.J. BARNES, left on Tuesday afternoon for their new home in Paris, Kentucky. They will drive through the country, spending a time in Buchanan County, and in Pikeville, Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. BARNES regretted very much leaving their old home, but not more than their friends at their departure. They have strong ties of kinship and friendship here, and it will be no surprise to hear, one of these good days, that they are coming home. Mrs. BARNES address is Paris, Kentucky, 1804 Main Street. BURKES GARDEN ----------------- Miss Mary Jane COX, the only daughter of Mrs. Barbara COX, died at her home in Burke's Garden, October 4th, 1905. She had been in ill health for quite a while, but not serious, until about a week before her death. She was thought of have typhoid fever but was later pronounced inflammatory rheumatism and heart trouble. She was 17 years old, and for three years had been a consistent member of the Methodist church. Her remains were laid to rest Friday evening at Central Church. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. L.W. PIERCE. Mrs. L.D. SNAPP has been quite sick for some time, but is improving. Rev. L.W. PIERCE preached his farewell sermon Monday night to a large and attentive audience. Mr. Lawrence BARNS, who has been attending school at the Academy, has been visiting home folk in the Cove. Mr. and Mrs. J.W. PEERY and family, of North Tazewell, were visiting Mrs. PEERY'S parents, Mr. B.B. MOSS the past week. Miss Mary A.

GREEVER and Mrs. FULLER, who have been visiting friends and relatives in Bland and Smyth, returned home Saturday. Mr. C.J. MOSS is frequently seen in Burke's Garden of late. There must be some attraction. Has he lost his Hat? Mrs. W.H. MOSS happened with a very serious accident in August, while working in a rock crevices. A sprawl from the rock struck his eye, and the sight was supposed to have been lost, but after being carefully examined by the physicians they pronounced it not entirely gone. He soon was able to be at work again but is now suffering intense pain and is is feared the sight is injured. TABORVILLE ------------- We had our first frost last Sunday night, but not enough to do any damage. The weather continues. Mr. Dan BRITTAIN, who has typhoid fever, is getting along nicely, and we hope to see him out again soon. Mrs. C. TABOR, who has typhoid fever, we are glad to report much better at this writing. B.W. TABOR and J.R. HARRY went to East River mountain one day last week chestnut hunting. Bal says they had good luck. They got about one gallon of chestnuts each and a good dinner and a feed of old corn for their horses, which you will always get when you go about that clever and accommodating gentleman, H.J. HARVEY. J.W. SHANNON, of Bluestone, was on Mudfork last week buying cattle. Mr. J.J. BUCKLEN is on Elkhorn teaching a singing school Miss Cora HILL and her little sister are visiting at Cooper. Mr. and Mrs. George WILLIAMS of Cooper, were visiting J.T. HILLS family last Sunday. Ranse DUDLEY, of Bluefield, was visiting his brothers, J.R. DUDLEY, of this place last Saturday and Sunday. John W. JOHNSON, of Erush Fork, was on Mud Fork one day last week buying cattle.

P.W. WAGNER is attending court at Tazewell this week. Mr. Frank HILL has a sick child at this writing. ------ The Tazewell Reading Rooms, over Harrisson's & Gillespie Bros. store, have been open now two weeks, and are growing in popularity daily. Commencing on yesterday the rooms will be open both afternoons and evenings. The management are anxious to have the public call at anytime and see what has been done and is being attempted.

There will be found in the rooms all the leading magazines of the country, daily papers, and the latest books, all of which are entirely free to members. Non-members have the privileges of the rooms the same as members, by paying a small amount. It should not be overlooked, that the ladies need money to enlarge the work, and will be thankful for donations at any time.

Mrs. CREGGAR was 48 years old and leaves, besides her husband, seven children. She was a member of the Methodist church and was highly esteemed by her friends and neighbors.

POCAHONTAS --------------------------- About three-thirty o'clock Tuesday morning, G.H. LAWRENCE, of the firm of Howard & Lawrence, heard a noise on Center Street of some breaking glass, and on going to his widow discovered that a party was effecting an entrance to the clothing store of Joseph MILLER. Mr. LAWRENCE immediately ran to the room of his partner, C.A. HOWARD, Jr. and awakened him, informing him that a burglar was breaking into the store of Miller. Mr. HOWARD got to the scene of the trouble first and was followed by LAWRENCE. On arriving he found a negro coming out of the broken hole in the door, and on calling to him to hold up his hands, the negro did so, but with a pistol in each hand pointed at Mr. HOWARD. To save his own life Mr. HOWARD fired, one shot taking effect between the eyes and coming out the back of the burglar's head, killing him instantly. The dead man was searched, and had in his possession eleven watches, and eleven pistols, which he had gotten from Miller's store. The negro was about 30 years old and has been identified as John WILLIAMS, alias the Kid, alias Sam HEGMAN. He is a native of Bedford county, this state, but has been living at Welch and Keystone for some time. He only came to Pocahontas on yesterday. An inquest was held on Tuesday, composed of the following gentlemen Police Justice, John W. OWENS, acting coroner: W.W. BRENEMAN, D.J. TAYLOR, Joe MATZ, J.W. DEATON, J.H. MCNEER and Dr. George H. ZIMMERMAN. The conclusions reached by the jury was "that the negro came to his death by a pistol shot fired by Mr. C.A. HOWARD, Jr. and we verily believe same was fired in self defense etc." After the inquest was held a warrant was immediately sworn out by Sergeant G.W. MAYS for the killing of John WILLIAMS by C.A. HOWARD, Jr. Mr. HOWARD was arraigned before Hon. John W. OWENS, who on hearing the evidence of Messrs. G.H. LAWRENCE, R.L. PEMBERTON, G.W. MAYS and Joseph MILLER rendered the following decision: Upon hearing the evidence to the within charge I adjudge the defendant, C.A. HOWARD, Jr., not guilty of felonious killing as charged, but find the killing purely in self defense and dismiss the defendant. Given under my hand this the 20th day of August, 1907. John W. OWENS, Police Justice. C.A. HOWARD, Jr. is an native of Floyd County, this state, and has lived in Pocahontas a number of years, having come here from Bluefield, where he was for several years associated in business with E.S. PEDIGO. He is a good and law abiding citizen, is chief of the fire department and is a man who can be relied on to do any service called on for the good of his fellow man. It was only a few months ago that a negro desperado shot at the police of this town in the day time and it was Mr. HOWARD, whose nerve and quick action came to the rescue of the police. Without the aid of a gun he held the desperado until he was place in irons. Mr. C.A HOWARD is well known in Tazewell, having made frequent business trips here. He is the junior member of the firm of Howard & Lawrence, the well known clothiers of Pocahontas, and is a law abiding and public spirited citizen of his town. FALLS MILLS ---------------------- H.D. DUDLEY very fittingly celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday last Saturday by a re-union of his family. His married sons and daughters, with their wives and husbands, all gathered at the old home for the first time in years, and spent a pleasant day. The day will be long be remembered. Ollie WALKER and wife spent Sunday with Mrs. WALKER'S grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex BUCKLAND. Miss May ETTER left Sunday for a visit to relatives on Clear Fork.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles CARTER are the proud parents of a girl baby. ---------------------- The August term of Circuit Court will commence Monday. Neither the criminal nor civil docket are over crowded this term, consequently the session of the court will not be a very lengthy one. Only two murder cases of importance are to come up this term. Addison BEAVERS, who killed his father, Alex BEAVERS, in the Northern part of the county several months ago. This case will be of considerable interest, as it was reported at the time that young BEAVERS killed his father in defense of his mother and sister. Chapman & Gillespie will defend Beavers. Nick WOODS, colored, who was arrested in Columbus, Ohio and brought here to jail, will have to face the charge of murdering Bud ROBINSON, also colored, at Pocahontas, on December 31st, last. WOOD'S case is scheduled for trail next week. There are also docketed eight or ten cases of felonious assault which are to be disposed of at this term. Mos of them are for cutting and wounding, and are of minor importance. The most important one, however, is against HATCHETT, a police office at Pocahontas, for striking Mary YABNISKY, while arresting her husband, Andrew YABNISKY. There are twenty cases of damages against the Pocahontas Colliers Co., for $10,000 each, which were set for this term, but have been postponed until the October term. The damages are asked for by persons who has been injured in the mines and administrators of those who have been killed. T.C. BOWEN, A.S. HIGGINBOTHAM, H.C. ALDERSON, W.M. MINTER and Judge Samuel W. WILLIAMS, represent the plaintiffs, and Henry & Graham and Chapman represent the defendant company. CEDAR BLUFF -------------------------- Miss Carrie MCGUIRE left Cedar Bluff on Monday for the home of her brother at Farmersville, Texas, much to the regret of her many friends here, who will sadly miss her during her protracted absence. Her visit to the Lone Star State will extend through the fall and Winter. Mrs. J.R. KING, wife of our pastor is visiting friends at her home in Bristol. Mrs. T.A. REPASS is visiting her children at Tip Top this week. Mrs. Mary WINGO left Cedar Bluff the first of the week for Bristol on her annual visit to the home of her brother, Col. A.S. MCNEIL of the city.

The contracting parties were Miss Ida BARNES and Mr. Orville NELSON. After the ceremony they went rejoicing on their way. BLUESTONE --------------------- It is now the season of rest for the farmers, just before the coming of the threshing machine. Misses Gertrude RUCKER and Annie HOLBROOK spent Sunday night with friends on Bluestone. Mrs. Robert THOMPSON returned to her home on Mud Fork, after spending a week with her father, W.C.

SUMMERS, Dexier SHRADER and others were very busy getting their cars of lumber ready for shipment. TIP TOP ------------------ News has just reached here of the death of the wife, Fannie, and a son, Bascom, of Flemming COMPTON, of Ellston, Va. It seems that the son was running a dinkey near Johnson City, Tennessee, and in some way fell off a bridge and was so badly hurt that he only lived about one hour. His mother had long been a great sufferer from rheumatism, and it is supposed that she died from shock, as she lived only a short while, perhaps a day, after her son was killed. They were formerly resident of Bluestone, this county, and were well known and related to the COMPTON families of Tazewell and Bland. Mrs. COMPTON leaves a husband and several grown sons and daughters. Charles and Millard COMPTON, of Bluefield, both N and W. conductors, are her sons. The son left a wife and several small children. A small child of H.G. ATKINS died several days ago, and was taken to Graham and buried. Mr. David N. WAGNER of near Bailey, on of the oldest citizens of this section, was right sick last week, but is well now. ------------ Miss Ida PAINTER and Tyler F. WITTEN of Wittens Mills, were married at the brides home at Five Oaks, Wednesday afternoon by Rev. S.O. HALL, pastor of the Presbyterian church. None but the immediate friends, besides the near relatives of the contracting parties, were present. Miss PAINTER is a daughter of Mrs. M.J PAINTER, of Five Oaks, and is popular among a host of friends in this county. Tyler F. WITTEN is secretary of the Wittens Mills supply Co. and is a son of S.A WITTEN, of Wittens Mills. Mr. WITTEN is a sober and industrious young business man and has the confidence and respect of the people of his community. Next to the preacher in authority in the conduct of the wedding was Mrs. J.J. FAGG, a close relative of the Painter family, of McComas, West Virginia, who is not a novice by any means in officiating at functions and social events of this kind. The maid of honor and best man were Miss Frankie PAINTER, sister to the bride and W.W. WITTEN, brother of the groom. Other attendants were E.S. HURT, of St. Paul, and Miss Cora GREEAR, of Wittens Mills; E.S. HOWARD and Miss Emma WITTEN; Cary PAINTER and Miss Annie WITTEN. E.M. DAVIS and daughter, Miss Leta, of Rural Retreat, relatives of Mrs. WITTEN. Mr. and Mrs. WITTEN left Wednesday afternoon for a visit to the Jamestown Exposition. ------- Walter RIPPEY, colored, was brought here and lodged in jail last night by Chief of Police George MAYS, of Pocahontas, charged with attempted criminal assault upon Lanie Ella CARR, near the Browning mines yesterday. The officer stated that feeling against the negro was running high at Pocahontas yesterday, and for safe keeping he hurried the man away from Pocahontas on the first train to Bluefield, where he caught the excursion train which returned to Tazewell last night. The CARR girl and a young sister were picking berries near the Browning mines, when the negro approached them and knocked the older girl down with a stick. The younger girl fled, and the negro was attempting to accomplish the foul deed, when he was scared away by the approach of a white man. The negro disclaimed any knowledge whatsoever of the crime.

August 28, 1908 The Tazewell medical society met here on Wednesday in regular session. There was a full attendance of the physicians of the town, and one, Dr. J.P HALLER, of Pocahontas, from outside. After the usual routine business the subject of tuberculosis was informally discussed, and some astonishing and alarming statements were made by the physicians present. The statement was made based upon observation and conservative estimate, that there exists at this time not less perhaps, than one hundred cases of the dread disease, in some stage or other, in this town and immediate vicinity, and not less, perhaps than 1000 cases in the county. This is an alarming statement, coming from the source it does, and the worst of it is that no organized, co-operative effort is being made to even check the spread of the disease. However, the physicians determined on Wednesday, that at their next meeting, which will be held in October, to organize a league for the specific purpose of fighting the plague. One of the first and most important things to be done is to acquaint the people with the fact that there exists right among them an awful, deadly and incurable plague - incurable unless taken and skillfully treated in its incipiency. This is a matter which every family, black and white, in the entire county, is vitally concerned, and will give the league when organized hearty corporation. ------ A successful revival meeting closed late Monday night at Gravelly Hill, conducted by Revs. J.R. PUCKETT and J.H. BOWLING. This good, old fashioned meeting, resulted in 21 additions to the Methodist Church. ------- Tip Top - On Friday, August 28, a dance will be given at night at the Iron Lithia Springs Hotel. Music will be furnished by the Columbia Orchestra of Keystone. Saturday August 29, 3 pm, there will be a game of baseball between Keystone and Tazewell. Everybody is invited and a good time is assured to all. POCAHONTAS -------------- The remains of Joe GREEN, who was killed at Davy on Saturday night by an officer, were brought to this place for burial. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R.N. CARTWRIGHT pastor of the Methodist church, and interment on the home of the Green's near here. Mr. GREEN was well known here and his character and habits were good. His brother, Mr. John GREEN, is in the employee of the Pocahontas Consolidated Colliers Co. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin ALLEY, of Petersburg, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J.A.

May the evening shadows lengthen slowly over the pathway of one, who carries such cheerfulness with his presence. ------ George, the young son of Mr. JOHNSON, the blind man, who lives in this community, was bitten by a dog a day or two ago, supposed to have had the rabies. The dog was killed, and the boy, who was treated by Dr. C.W. GREEVER, will be sent, perhaps, to the Pasteur Institute. ----- In Memoriam - As the days go by, more and more do we miss that noble, Christian woman, Mrs. Peggy THOMPSON, who our Heavenly Father in his wisdom called home to himself April 23rd, 1908. Mrs. THOMPSON was born in Tazewell County, October 10, 1868. She united with the Presbyterian church of Thompson Valley, near her home, in 1896. She was married November 17, 1892, to Mr. Milton THOMPSON, with whom she lived in a home life of wifely devotion beautiful to see, and as his faithfulness to her and his appreciation of her worth was so great his grief and sadness are the more unspeakable. She was truly a model wife and "the heart of her husband did safely trust in her." Her neighbors say that she was one of the very best women in the county. There was not a cabin too poor, or too uninviting, for her to visit if its occupants were sick, or in distress; she would go day or night, in good weather or in foul, if human suffering called her. She was withal a consistent Christian who re-confined her religion by her practice. When she left her home to go to the hospital for a severe and exceedingly dangerous operation, she recognized the seriousness of the step, but she also knew that it was a matter of but a short time and final death without it, while there was a chance for her recovery, if the operation should be performed. With the bravery of character which she had shown in all other matters, she set her house in order and committed herself to God and went forward. When it was known that, despite every effort and attention of faithful physicians and nurses, her end was rapidly approaching, she did not falter, but with clearness of mind and full consciousness of her condition, she expressed her readiness to answer the summons and to depart and to be with the Savior in whom she had placed her trust years before. Her place in the church and in the community cannot be filled, but we bow in reverent submission to the Father's will, and trust that her example may draw all her dear ones to meet her on the other shore.

This time the campers number from thirty five to forty strong about twenty five Garden people and fifteen visitors form the Cove and elsewhere. Just before the party reached its destination a large a rattlesnake was encountered in the road and beheaded. Only eighteen rattlers and two copperheads have been slaughtered in the neighborhood of the camp within the past few days. However, the folks trust that the poisonous reptiles have all been demolished now, and have let themselves loose to hold high carnival. What is a snake to them, anyway, with so many braves in camp?

COALDAN Our town continues idle: Our men and boys are scattered over the face of the earth, wherever they think they can find a loss dollar, and the good women of our town, bless 'em, are looking after our homes and cooking our beans, feeding the chickens, and slopping the pigs, and ding other little stunts such as cutting stove wood, carrying coal from the tipple, a distance at only half a mile, washing, ironing and various other little trifles just to pass the time away. We have been having some fine showers of late, which is making corn grow, and producing a large crop of candidates, What a harvest we will have this fall, that is if there don't come a democratic thunderstorm and damage the crops.

A case of fever exists among the colored people in the west end of town, and has been quite serious, but is now better. A few families have whooping cough among the children. Dr. BREWSTER'S children began their sojourn in Tazewell by being sick. Their eldest, a little boy, has been quite sick for a week or so, but is better. The two cases of fever, Mr. WERTH and Joseph LESLIE, it is thought, were contracted outside of Tazewell. At least Tazewell people like to think that is the case. ------- The meeting at the Methodist church has been in progress since last Sunday and is still going on, with two services daily - at 10:30 and 8 o'clock. The crowd in attendance has been large at the night service. Some disappointment was felt at the failure of Mr. J.B. CULPEPPER to reach Tazewell, caused b sickness. His son, Mr. Burt CULPEPPER, has been in charge of the service "holding the fort," expecting his father on every incoming train. Under these somewhat embarrassing circumstances he has gone on, and done well. He is a fine preacher and has pleased an attracted large crowd. The meetings will continue. ------- The recital given in the High School chapel Tuesday night by Miss May HANKINS, Miss Estella HARMAN and Mr. Herbert V. CARSON was well attended and pronounced one of the best musical entertainments given in Tazewell by home talent for some time.

Two new members were added. The play given at the church Saturday evening, the 12th, "The White Shawl" will be given again the 26th, as the rain prevented so many from coming out. Those who saw it enjoyed it very much. We will also have the "Train to Nauro," a short play liked by everyone, and several recitations. Ice cream cake served after the play, the proceeds from which will go to the benefit of the church. ------- The Sunday School meeting at Gratton last Saturday was a pronounced success - so said everybody. The attendance was large. the church Mt. Olivet, was well filled with the best men and women, boys and girls of the community.

This the South Clear Fork District meeting will hold its first meeting at the Central Church, Burkes Garden, Saturday before the 4th Sunday in October. About 13 teachers and superintendents made instructive addresses. One of the very best of these speeches was made by Mr. Felix BOURNE, one of the oldest and most faithful of the teachers in the Mt. Olivet school. His speech was good, and well received. Want of space forbids mention of the good speeches made by Revs. W.W. HICKS, C.R. BROWN, E.L. RITCHIE, GOSE, NEAL, GILDERSLEEVE, BAUGH, Davy CROCKETT, J.N. HARMAN and others. The ladies prepared and spread a fine dinner on the ground and a thorough good day was had. The organization of another district association took place at Pleasant Hill on Saturday two weeks ago, with J.N. RHUDY, chairman; R.J. DAVIDSON, Vice chairman, and Miss Eliza PEERY, secretary. Here, also, a fine dinner was served on the ground. The attendance was not large, but there was much enthusiasm and interest. The great work of Sunday Schools is engaging the attention of the best business men of the county. Every where these meetings are held there is great interest shown. The boys all say, "We have got it going. It must be kept going. The world will never be evangelized by working the old people!" PISGAH A fine congregation was out to hear the excellent sermon by Rev.

Hello Tazewell researchers, We just received a death certificate that said that our family member's father was born in 1818 in Tazewell County, Virginia. We were wondering if anyone out there has access to land deeds, tax records, etc. for families living in Tazewell county during this year? The last name would be CHANEY or a variant spelling-CHEANEY, CHANY, CHINEY, etc. We checked online and wasn't able to find any records that early. Thank you so much, Dale

While I don't have info on the individual you seek, do have later date Chaney's in Patrick Co, Va. with associations in Tazewell County. Keep in mind Tazewell Co was much larger in earlier years and it was divided by bits into other counties. Check division dates.

Gwenn, Thank you for looking that up. Is there some place on the internet that I can find these records? Esther

There is no Fielding Noel listed in Tazewell Death Records for the Years 1853 to 1871 (of those individuals were born prior to 1820) Gwenn Ghrone@swfla.rr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <EPOLISENA@aol.com> To: <VATAZEWE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2004 7:16 AM Subject: Fielding NOEL Look-Up > I am hoping that someone might have access to death records in Tazewell and > do a search for me on Fielding NOEL's death date.

I am hoping that someone might have access to death records in Tazewell and do a search for me on Fielding NOEL's death date. We are assuming that he died before 1870 since his wife is living with their son in the 1870 census. His wife's name was Sophia and in the 1860 census, they were living in the Eastern District of Tazewell. Fielding was 61 in 1860 according to the census. Thank you in advance for your help. Esther
