It was thought that the case of the Commonwealth vs. Wm J. ROSE for killing his brother, Frank, last Spring would be heard this term, but the case was continued on the account of a sick witness, which the defense claimed as material. Son MULLINS, of Beppo, this county, was sentenced two years in the penitentiary at this term for breaking into a mill and stealing __ack meal for a moonshine. MULLINS is a young man and perhaps will learn a valuable lesson in these two years. John P. VANOVER, of Freeling, this county, died a few days since, at the advanced age of 84 years. Mr. VANHOVER was a pioneer settler of this section, and came originally from N.C. Miss Carrie M. NEAL & Lucian PROEDA were married on Thurs last at the residence of the brides parents. Miss NEAL is an accomplished young lady, and is favorably known in Clintwood society. Mr. & Mrs. PROEDA will go to W.VA. where they will make their future home. A new post-office, known as Dwale, has recently been established three miles east of this place with Frank M. BEVERLY, postmaster. This will be a great convenience to the people of that place. Attourney R. E. CHASE, of this place, is attending a U.S. Commissioners Court at Bristol this week. Clintwood, VA., May 14 96 Pursuant to call of the County Chairman, the Democrats of Dickenson Co. assembled in mass-meeting at Clintwood on the 14 of May. On motion, Wm. B.

S. Government prior to the year 1878. William C. ROSS, of Pond Creek, Olkahoma, is visiting his parents at this place this week. Mr. ROSS went from this place when the strip was opened for settlement, and has been fairly successful, having secured a good homestead, and been appointed as County Superintendent of Schools of the county in which he is located. VIRGINIA AND THE WORLDS FAIR CLintwood, VA., Dec 21 - Clerk PHIPPS, of this place, is just in recipt of a letter from Mrs. Eva Douglas WISE, of New York, as one of the Lady Managers of the Worlds Fair from Virginia, in which she speaks in the most enthusiatic terms of the part old Virginia will take. She urges Mr. PHIPPS to secure a representation from this section in the way of the exhibits, and he is greatly interseting himself in the scheme, and doubtless some good results will be realized from his efforts.
Submitted by Annette Damron ([email protected]) Rachel and Louise Vanover Vore DICKENSON COUNTY NEWS 1890-1900 Hanan FLEMINGS, who was recently acquitted in a trial at Wise for the murder of the MULLINS family is in this vicinity. He was very much disfigured in the fight in West VA, having been shot in the mouth and powder-burned about the face. His brother, Calv was killed outright in this fight. Henan was very badly wounded, and after his partial recovery was brought to Wise where the crime was committed and incarcerated in jail to a wait his trail which resulted in his acquittal, much to the surprise of every body. Preparations are being made for the trail of Wm. J. ROSE for the murder of his brother, Frank. The trial will commence at the August term of our County Court, which will convene next week. Eustace BURDETT Mack HILL, of Beppo, this county, was brought before U.S. Commissioner RUSH a day or two since, upon a charge of selling liquor without a license, and was bound over to answer an indictment at the next term of Federal Court at Abingdon. HILL is a man of 60 or thereabouts, and is badly crippled from the effects of white swelling and rheumatism. Albert FLEMING son of Preston FLEMING near this place died on yesterday, after a brief illness. It is said that he overexerted himself while engaged in logging with some others on Cranes Nest Creek. David FLEMING rod a fine horse belonging to Columbus COUNTS from Dwale to Pound, a distance of 12 miles the other day and upon his return the horse dropped dead under the saddle. It was very hot, and it is thought that he rode the horse to hard and his death resulted from the cause. The chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee had called a meeting of the Democratic has called a meeting of the Democrats of the county of Clintwood on July 14, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the congressional convention for the 9th district which convenes at Wytheville Aug. 8. There seems to be general preference expressed here for J. F. BULLITT, of Big Stone Gap, for the standard-bearer. The Republicans are for James A. WALKER. TRIAL OF HARMON POWERS Clintwood, VA., June 11 - the case of the Commonwealth against Harmon POWERS, charged with killing David WELLS & Will SALLIER on the Ridge last Christmas, was begun here today. The court-room has been crowded all day, and everybody seems to be anxious to hear the proceedings. The prosecution is being conducted by Attournys F. H. EVANS, A. A. SKEEN, R. S. McFALL & Frank GRIFFITH. The defense is represented by W. A. AYERS, G. H. ANDERSON, Columbus P. PHIPPS & W. H. WERTH. There was considerable trouble in finding the necessary number of competent jurors to try the case. So much had the affair been discussed throughout the entire county that everyone had heard more or less of the details of the killing. At length, after quite a number of men had been examined, and many rejected, a sufficient number were found competent, and the following jury was impaneled: Ezekiel SUTHERLAND, S. J. TYLER, J. L. SIEFERS, Alex SMITH, G. W. HAYNES, G. W. SUTHERLAND, James W. SMITH, C. A. SELF, H. A. BOSTIC, W. J. COCHRAN, Eli PHIPPS & N. C. EDWARDS. There is a large army of witnesses in the case, there being 57 in the Commonwealth alone. POWERS is a man of about 50 or 55 yrs. of age, heavy and of a not very prepossessing physique. His son-in-law, Wade P. KENADY, is indicted separately as an accessory, but his case will not be heard at this term. POWERSs friends seem hopeful, and think that he will be acquitted. The aged father of SALLIER, one of the men who met his untimely death is attending the trial, but through grief seems to have become somewhat deranged. Clintwood, VA., Nov. 16 - Henry VANOVER, of Johnson Co., KY, is here on business relative to the settlement of the estate of his father, who died in the early fall. The first snow of the season fell here on yesterday, but there was only enough to serve as a gentle reminder.

I am trying to help my husband research his family tree, with almost no information. I hope someone on this list can help me! His mother was Louise Marie Collier b. 1915 in Norton, Virginia. Her mother was Sarah Elizabeth Stuart, no dates, but I am guessing born about 1890. Sarah had a sister Mary Stuart, who lived in Narrows, Va. Their parents were John Alexander Stuart and Edmaannia Virginia Davis. Louise's father was Judge Howell Collier, son of George Leight Collier. His father was William H. Bays, Sr. b. 4/22/1910, in Bristol, Va. He was the son of Eugene Edward Bays and Ethel Marie Dillo. Eugene's parents were George W. Bays and Emily Shepherd. Can anyone help me or at least tell me how to start this search. He has no living family members who know anything. Thanks so much! Anne Hudson Bays
Hello All, Here's another installment of Dickenson County Past News, 1890-1900, unknown newspaper. Contributed by Annette Dameron, Rachel Vore and Louise Vanover Vore. Enjoy! A party consisting of Leon ISSACSON, of the Yellow Popular Lumber Company; Russell S. MCFALL, Commonwealths Attorney; William E. FARMER and several others have started to The Breaks to fish and enjoy the romantic scenery of the place. Clintwood Almareen GWENS and wife were arranged before U.S. Commissioner RUSH, of this place, upon a warrant, charging them with operation an illicit distillery in the far side of this county. The evidence was not sufficient to substantiate the charges against them and they were released. An effort will soon be made to sell the school house in this place, and build another on a larger scale. A Normal school is being conducted here for the benefit of the teachers, by Prof. R. L. COUNTS, of Coeburn. The attendance is not very large, but we understand it is on the increase. From present indications there will not be teachers enough to fill all the positions. Attorney R.E. CHASE has just added a Remington type-writer costing $125 to his already equipped office. Eustace BURDETT THE TRIAL OF ROSE Clintwood, VA., Aug. 19 - County Court commenced its session here last week. It was thought that the case of the Commonwealth against William J. ROSE for killing his brother, Frank, last spring would be heard at this term, but while it is only passed for the present, it is quiet certain that it will be continued on account of the sickness of a witness. The general understanding that a trail of the case would be had at this term brought out the largest crowd that ever attended court at this place. ROSE was brought into Court when the case was called, and then there was a wild rush for the court-room, everybody being anxious for a sight of the fratricide. He walked into the bar beside the sheriff and took a seat near his attorneys. His wife and mother sat near him. He seemed in the best of spirits and talked familiarly with those around him. He told your correspondent, though, that his confinement in jail was telling on him, but he hoped to be soon be free again. ROSE is a man of about 27 or 28 years of age, of medium height and weight, and has a peculiar countenance. He has unusually heavy eyebrows, which shade his eyes to such an extend that the expression of them is almost lost to the casual observer. Miss Carrie. M. NEAL and Lucian PROEDA were married last week at the residence of the brides parents. Miss NEAL is a highly accomplished young lady, and a well known in Clintwood society. Clintwood, VA., Aug 9 - Your correspondent learns that the _____ are out for the marriage of Miss Maxie JONES, daughter of H. J. JONES to Mr. Delmon KELLY of KY., the wedding will take place on the 15th inst. Clintwood, VA., Aug 19 - A mass meeting was held at this place Wed. by the Democrats of this county for the purpose of electing delegates to the legislative convention of the district, composed of the counties of Wise, Dickenson, & Buchanan, called to convene here on the 19th day of Sept. The meeting was called to order by County Chairman Henry KEEL...the following delegates were elected from the several magisterial districts of the county: Clintwood Dist - William R. REEDY & J.T. RAMEY Ervinton Dist - Samuel L. CARICO & Robert W. ERVIN Sand Lick Dist - Thomas K. COLLEY & Richard D. SUTHERLAND Willis Dist - J.C. KERR & John WILLIS One of James MOONEYs children fell into the fire and was badly burned. It is getting along fairly well and will doubtless recover. Mrs. Francis VANOVER, near this place, is said to be in critical condition and is not expected to live. She recently gave birth to a child and her illness dates from that time.
