OUR OLD PEOPLE
BY HAMPTON OSBORNE
ELDER J. ROLEY STANLEY

Elder J. Roley Stanley is well
known in Dickinson, Wise and
Buchanan counties in Virginia
and in portions of Kentucky and
West Virginia, and has preached
in eight states. For the past forty
five years or more he has rode
horseback, walked or gotten what
ever kind of transportation he
could and went through storm or
sunshine to minister to the needs
of his friends and fellow workers
in the church.
He and Elder Cleve Wright are
probably the only ministers in
the world with the distinction of
having conducted a funeral of a
person before the death of the
person in question. Several years
ago, John Oquin, who lives over
in Buchanan County, about forty
miles from the home of Elder
Stanley on Ramsey Ridge near
Big Oak school house, sent for
Elder Stanley to bring Elder
Wright and preach his funeral ON
a set date. They went and found
a large congregation of friends
and neighbors out to witness the
unusual service. They preached
him as they knew him to be and
it was satisfactory with Oquin.
After services ended, Elder Stan
ley told Oquin that if he did not
live up to his funeral that he
would preach it different when
he died. Oquin died about one
year after his funeral; no funeral
services were conducted.
Elder Stanley and his good
wife, Aunt Susie, always left
their latch string on the outside
and practiced true Christian hos
pitality to all who would come to
their home. I have enjoyed such
hospitality there many times and

Road Camp On Mcclure May Be
Moved To Haysi In Near Future

Again there is a furry OF ex-
element about road construction
in Dickinson County.
The report is that the convict
road camp, now located at Nc
Clure, is to be moved to Haysi
or vicinity on or about July l. 1t
is supposed that the move will be
made to facilitate work on the
Breaks road between Haysi and
Elkhorn City, KY
No official verification of the
move has been made, but the talk
is strong. Someone is supposed to
have the word from either Sen.
M M Long, Delegate A. r
Singleton, or the state commission
er of highways. Neither is it
known whether the work on the
Mcclure road is to be postponed.
At any rate, there is considerable
feeling over the report and mes
siages are being poured into the
highway headquarters at Rich
mond
At the meeting Monday night,
the Clintwood Kiwanis Club pass
ed resolutions protesting "the re-
moval Of this convict camp from
the vitality imperative work upon
which it is now engaged" The
organization expressed its contin-
ued advocacy of the development
of the Breaks area. Copies of the
resolution were sent to General
Anderson, chairman of the State
Highway Commission and to all
members of that body.

my association with them and
their children shall always be a
pleasant memory to me.
Elder Stanley was born at what
is now Fremont on August s,
1872, a son of Larkin and Nancy
Jane Hill Stanley, the third child
among the six children in their
family. At the age of II he was
married to Susie Ramsey, daugh-
ter of Rainwater Ramsey, a well
known citizen of Ramsey Ridge.
To this union was born the fol
lowing children: Leonard Lee of
Mcclure, Willard of Bartlick,
James Fleetwood of Brooksville,
Fla, Hershal of Yorktown, Tenn,
Mrs. Fannie Hale of Toms Creek,
Mrs. Hannah Hilton of st. Paul,
Va, Mrs. Hattie Kelley of Castle
wood, Mrs Virgie Fields of STRAIT

Elder Stanley now has 81 grand
children and "a great grandchil-
dren.

RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, it has been reliably
reported that the state convict
camp, now employed in construct
ing Highway No 81 up Mcclure
River from Fremont, will be re-
moved to the vicinity OF Haysi
for the purpose of working on
Route 80.
And whereas, the Kiwanis Club
of Clintwood recently was active
in the agitation for the construc-
ton of highway into the Breaks
area to the Kentucky line, and
Rt. 80 to Honaker, and
Whereas, it was never the in
tention of the Clintwood Kiwanis
Club to advocate the building Of
the Breaks road at the expense
of the construction of other vital
highways upon which work had
been commenced, and for which
funds have been made available
= Now, therefore, be it resolved
that the Clintwood Kiwanis Club
in its meeting on May 20, 1850,
does hereby strongly and unani-
mously protest the removal Of
this convict camp from the vitality
imperative work upon which it is
now engaged, and we officially
go upon record as voicing our
disapproval of this proposal.
And Be 1t Further Resolved,
that the Clintwood Kiwanis Club
re-affirm its positive and deter
mined advocacy of the develop
ment of the Breaks area. and the
construction of the necessary
highways through it, including
Rt. 80, and we strongly urge that
this development be made a re-
atty as early as may be possible.
And Be 1t further Resolved that
a copy of these resolutions be
sent to Gen. James A. Anderson,
chairman of the State Highway
Commission, the members Of that
body and copy of these resolu-
tons be published in the local
newspapers.

THE LOST SILVER MINE
Continued from last week.

Continued from last week.
The lost silver mine that haunt
ed Hick Bakers memory and fir
ed the imagination of Will Null
ms shaped the dreams Of other
men. The spell seemed to take
hold on all who ever stood in the
shade of the Four Naples or
drank from the waters of the Big
Lick. Marshall Kelly would some
times forget his foes and hide
his moonshine still to search for
the riches under the earth After
his crops were laid by, Sam Bak-
er would prospect and dig until
the SHOWS of winter made the
mountains white Curious to say,
the believers seemed to want 9th
ers to share their faith They
were not selfish with their spa
cious dreams and gave hearty
fellowship to all who would enter
into their visions
@%#
Out of hopes. and labors and
disappointments, a legend grew,
touched through and through
with fancies that kept it alive. 1t
isn't said whatever became of
Hick Bakers lump of silver One
woman, however, told of seeing
that evidence long after the dis
coverer had departed from this
life. Jane Fleming said she saw
Sam Baker white, on the metal
his father had found and then
carve on a piece of silver money.
The one was as hard, bright and
heavy, as the other, and the two
appeared to be of the same stuff
Nor is it explained how silver,
found elsewhere in specks of ore,
should have been in solid fornla-
ton near the top of Cumberland
Mountain. But who would be so
graceless as to examine a legend
in the cold light OF, fact and logic?
*M*
There are those who yet be-
lieve in the story of the silver
mine. Will Mullins son, who
stood sentinel while his father ex
plored the mountain ravines, half
believes that his sire found the
vein of treasure but died before
he could start mine. A daughter
of the seeker says her father de-
scribed to her the location with
his falling breath. She was then
but a child and can now only
family recall the description
George Fleming, who once roam
ed the mountains, caught the faith
from Marshall Kelley and holds
it still. When Clintwood Mullins
and George Fleming get some
time before the leaves begin to
fall, they are going to look for
the lost treasure. With the Hick
Baker cave as headquarters, they
will cover every foot of ground
between the Cantrell Gap and
the Boner Cabin.
.:%*
The believers speak of chunk
of metal that was brought to
local store some weeks ago. That
specimen, they say, came from
the neighborhood of the Four
Naples. They are not sure that it
is silver, but it has caused the
fever to rise again. The person
who found the ore is vaguely
identified as "a man by the name
of Mullins" How are you going
to put the finger on "a man by
the name of Mullins" in this
