Not reported The 1882 Coal Report listed the coal property as 160 acres, but did not report how many acres had been worked out. Fellers may have begun operations and ceased without a listed production, or the mine may have been idled and then abandoned in 1882. Field notes from 1925 indicated that coal was supplied to farmers & threshermen, as reported by Perry Fellers, whose father owned the farm when the mine was sunk.
