It is possible that three of my great uncles were coal mimers. One, for sure, was certified. Are any of the old personnel records, miner registration numbers etc archived anywhere? Are there any books or stories etc written regarding the mines and miners in the late 1800's to at least 1910? Anything along these lines would be appreciated. Topic: Coal mines

It's me again, cousin. Galena, Kansas, holds a week-long town celebration during the first week of June every year. There is a museum that has info on the lead and zinc mines in the area. There is a book available about Galena pioneers. Our family has a reunion scheduled for the fifth of June in Joplin, Mo., which I plan to attend. Most of my Betzer/Goldsberry info came from my father's recollections. He was born in 1898. Other Betzer/Goldsberry info was found at the Kansas City branch of the National Archives. The name Jacobs is also married into the Betzer/Goldsberry lineage. I believe the Betzers came from Nebraska to Kansas. I'll forward any info I come across. Bye again.

From: Ivan Saunders o2ranch@ckt.net)
Date: Monday, March 01, 1999 10:04 AM

I am looking for the missing link of Maddox in My family tree. The Maddox are a Mystery Family. The Family I am looking for are located In Idaho and Oregon now.They came out of Texas and OK. to South Dakota to Kansas(In Cherokee County) then down the Oregon Trail. When they departed the Texas, Ok area they also departed the family ties, due to some kind of family Feud This was in 1860 or abouts ?? Ora L. Maddox b. 1-8-1888 in Chamberland Brule County South Dakota d. 2-4-1959 Weiser Washington County Idaho. At this time his Parentage is Unknown, but Possibility a Mary A. was his Mother ? I did fine the location of Internment for him and his wife Treasure L ( Sevey) Maddox b.-7-7-1895 d.5-8-1932 and a Mary A Maddox b.6-14-1850 d.6-21-1924 in Mann Creek Cemetery Washington County Idaho. There were children of his and Treasures marriage 3 Boys and 1 Girl, her name is Imogene Mae ( Maddox ) Murray b.8-19-1921 Weiser Washington County Idaho. The Three boys DOB are unknown to me at this time. All the boys are living and live in Oregon and Idaho. Two Are World Champion Rodeo Cowboys (PCRA) Bull Riding and Calf Roping. Imogene is my Mother-In-Law and I and my wife Pamela have been working on the Maddox Family Tree. There stories that Imogene was told when she was a little Girl about the Family, but the family didn't talk about the passed, and not of family. Like this Mary A. Imogene told me that she can remember her as granny, but her dad Ora didn't talk about her after her death. The One thing that I have found out is that the story about Ora's Mother & Father going to a Indian Reservation in South Dakota was true. While I was checking out the South Dakota Information I found that a Comanche girl was enrolled in the Indian School at Chamberland, her Name was Harriet Maddox and she was out of Oklahoma at the time of Ora's birth. With more checking I found a William S Maddox b.1833 he was in the Union Army Station at Farragut Post # 52 Spearfish South Dakota. His Company was Company D 9th Ind. Legion. He enlisted in Jennings County IND.. In the South Dakota State Veterans Cemetery at Falls River Hot Springs County South Dakota The Internment of William S Maddox d. 5-30-1901 . Now to tie this to the Ora Maddox. Imogene stated that she think her Grand Father first name was William or Willie or Wills ? That her father Ora told her that her Grand father died in the Idaho State Veterans Hospital in Boise Idaho and was taken back to South Dakota. BOY DO I NEED HELP WITH THE PARENTAGE OF ORA LOGEN MADDOX !!!
