WALTON, the first of the week. RELATED: MAJ. WALTON left last Saturday for Danville, Va., where he will spend a week looking after important business. [Major Samuel Walton]. RELATED: E. V. RAWN, of North Tazewell, stopped over with MAJ. WALTON last Saturday night on his way to Bramwell to visit his father. [I wonder if the surname, RAWN, might be a typo as I found no one in 1900 Tazewell Co., VA Census with such a surname]. ………………… JAMES WOODS, a monument dealer from Concord, Tenn., was looking over our quarries the first of last week. ………………….. DR. A. W. TABOR , of Falls Mills, paid our camp a visit last Monday evening dining with us at Little Italy Hotel. [Alexander Waltham ‘Alex’ Tabor, s/o Amos H. Tabor & Cynthia McPherson. I do not know why Alex is sometimes referred to as Dr. A. W. Tabor, as in the census he is listed as a miller and we know he was the Post Master, at Falls Mills, VA for a while]. ……….. Pay-day went off quietly last Saturday at the camp, but the Falls Mills citizens were disturbed at nigh by some of the boys who drank to (sic) freely of that intoxicating drink. RELATED: Friday, August 1, 1902 Submitted from Falls Mills A camp with such men as B. YOUNG and W. J. FINK at the helm it could not be otherwise. [It appears words are missing? Walter J. Fink, s/o James C. Fink & Cynthia Dudley. I believe "the camp" meant the business end of the stone quarries at Italy Leaks]. ………………….. BAILEY HALE, who has been sick for some months past, died last Saturday and was buried Sunday near his home on Red Oak Ridge. [Day of death & burial conflicts between the two submissions]. RELATED: Friday, August 1, 1902 Submitted from Falls Mills BAILEY HALE who we have mentioned in these columns as being very low with cancer of the stomach died last Friday and was buried Saturday Morning. [This might have been the second son of Elias Edward ‘Edd’ Hale & Mary Ella/Ellen Tabor, d/o Russell B. Tabor & Elizabeth Compton. Elias Edward Hale’s mother was Juletta Bailey and to give a son a given name of a grandparent’s surname would have seemed reasonable. In the 1900 Tazewell Co., Virginia , Clear Fork Dist., Census this son is listed as Haley W. Hale. Haley was not a usual name in this era.].
