Whoops, I forgot to mention that the Mayor of Follansbee at that time, Thomas Rogers (aka Rodgers), was also Jack's uncle (his mother, Miriam Rogers Timothy's brother). Anyone have info on him or on Miriam Rogers Timothy, it would also be greatly appreciated.

First of all, does anyone know where I might be able to locate a STREET map of Follansbee from 1910? (especially one that has the entire length of Main Street between Broad & State) Secondly, does anyone know anything about Chinese people in Follansbee around that time? Does anyone know if there was more than one Chinese laundry in town back then? Thirdly, why would people be staying at a shanty behind some houses on Main street if they had a home on Virgina Avenue? One of the pieces of documentation that I have states that people where staying there & making soup to be taken down to the tin mill ("packing buckets to be taken to the mill") I am interested in this information because I am writing a book about the murder of Yee Lee (aka Yee On among other names I've found for this same person) in August of 1910. He was a Chinese laundryman in Follansbee and his laundry was located across from what was then the Follansbee Hotel. If you are wondering what this has to do with genealogy, My great-grandfather, Jack Timothy, was the murderer. Thank you, Lori Martin --------------------------------- Yahoo!
