In addition to the Jordon Nelson
coal opening at Pocahontas, as re-
ferred to in previous article, there
was an outcropping on the place of
Jonathan Smith, up in Abb's Valley.
Mr.. Smith had opened up one or two
places where coal was obtained for
blacksmith shops and other purposes.
Jonathan Smith was the father if
John Nj. Smith. of Graham, and the
latter was engaged in the mercan-
tile business in Abb's Valley at that
time and had been for about 20 years
when Pocahontas was opened up.
Some of the old timers say that it
was the original intention of the rail-
road people to locate "Bluefield" on
Mr.. Jonathan Smiths farm, but this
does not seem to be confirmed. The
survey was made through there but
it was likely their intention to go
through the (John) Hartman Gap at
the head of Ahb's Valley, but Sam
uel Crozier, who had interests on
Elkhorn brought pressure to bear
which changed their plans and it
was decided to go by Elkhorn. 1t is
said that Crozier threatened to have
another railroad built into this SEQ.
ton if they did not yield to his de-
mands, and being q man of wealth
and possibly director of the rail
road company, he carried his point.
Others say that it was the purpose
of the railroad people to make Ora
ham their division point if satisfac-
tory terms could have been made
with the citizens there.
In addition to the Smith family.
other families in the Abb's Valley
section included John w. Tailor, o.
B. Moore, Charlie Moore, j. Hococ
Sayers, William Witten. C. c. Will
son, S. p. Mustard, Augustus SPOTS,
Columbus Moore, and others whose
names we do not recall. C. A. Black
came in abou t the time the railroad
was projected, lived for years but
went to California. j. C. Smith went
to California. j. M. Smith went first
to Salem then to Graham. Charlie
Moore moved to West Virginia and
Augustus SPOTS to Tazewell
Two early corners to Pocahontas
were William L. Butt and Harrison
Tabor. Butt spent the remainder of
his life here. He was cabinet MAX
er and his shop, known as Butts
coffin shop is still standind, and one
of the land marks Of Pocahontas.
His widow and several children live
here. Tabor's son, Howard Tabor
ran the Rudisill Hotel at Pocahon-
tas for awhile, but Tabor himself
moved to Mud Fork. William L. Read
lived on the mountains near town,
father of Benjamin and Ed. Read
and the late Miss Eliza Read.
Moore's church (Methodist) in
Abb's Valley had a pastor at that
time by the name of Smith from Ten
