Many of the coal camps had two names. One was the name of the mines and
then there was the US Post Office. I was born at Fidelity, Ky in 1933
but I think the post office was Shoopman.
This double name was also true in Perry County, Ky for at least two coal
camps.

Today is 9/11/04.
Where were you at 8:46, 9/11/01 ? You'll never forget it will you ?
Yet it is forgotten today ! Did you take just 30 seconds to say a Prayer? to
remeber those 2,000 +people who died 3 years ago taday ?
I turned on the TV a bit ago....game shows, all the usual crap. HAVE WE
FORGOTTEN ?
Take this minute..this tiny slice of time..Remember, say a Prayer...and
PRAY, not just for them...for all of us ! Pray that we are safe !
Im so sad that no one remembers ! It could have been you..o
First of all, I'm interested in learning more about the "1912 census" that
was mentioned. What was that, a local count?
And I'm looking forward to information on the formation of McCreary County.
I thought that was in 1912, from Whitley County. Or were there more counties
involved?
Thanks,
Ann Bergelt
Sorry but the communities before the 1912 census & after the 1912 Census have me confused. The Stearns Coal & Lumber Co. employee information has some of their employees listed more than once. The obits may also have them listed as being born in a different place. It's probably the same place but called a different name. But then what do I know? Any help would be appreciated.
1. Where was Nevelsville in 1922 - Pulaski Co., KY or McCreary Co., KY?

McCreary County was formed in 1912 from three different counties. These three were Pulaski County which extended all the way to Whitley City, Wayne County which took up all the Yamaha area and Smithtown also I believe, and Whitley Co. which extended to Pine Knot and a little beyond.

Not all of us have forgotten BJ. I would dare to say most of us haven't. As for me I was on vacation in Florida that fateful day. I can still remember going up to pay my breakfast bill at Shoneys and noticing an extra amount of people standing around the television. I remember asking someone what was going on and the reply was, An airplane just flew into the WTC! I looked at the TV set and was paralyzed with shock! Then as I was watching the other plane hit! I remember thinking, "My God this can't
