Just found your channel. subbed. I really enjoyed watching this! My grandfather was born at the Beury Coal Camp in 1903. His father was a carpenter by trade, but was logging the area for the coal mines. His mom, my great-grandmother, was with her family from Wales. They were miners, she was a teacher. According to Find-a-Grave, Her father is buried in Sewell Mountain Cemetery. Would love to make that trek! It's neat to see where they began. Thank you!
I used to take my guests on side hikes yo the Buery Mansion till the flood of 2001 did it in ..... It did expose some mosaic walkways ...... You should do the Red Ash Island cemetery ....... And old town of Sewell ... I guided on the river from 1989 till last year
We did do the Red Ash Island/ Cemetery hike there’s a video of it on our channel. We had planned to hike to Sewell the day we visited Beury but ran out of daylight. It’s on our list to visit next. Along the same path I hope to see Sewell and Fire Creek in the same day.
I just discovered that my Grandmother taught school in Beury in 1915. Don't know how long she was there. She taught in Maplewood in 1913. Any ideas where the school house was?

You’re very welcome! I love hearing information about people who have families from these places. Thank you so much for sharing!

Not very often do you go to these old early 1900s mines sites and find the tram car. Cool
