My late grandfather, as well as his two older brothers, my great uncles, came to Jasper from Pennsylvania back around 1872 to seek work in the coal mines. My grandfather at the time , was about 5 years old, my uncles were in their teens, my uncles were killed shortly after arriving in Jasper, some type of train accident. My grandfather grew up in a Church Orphanage in Jasper. That is my ties to Jasper and Walker County.
