Notes
- ↑ 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.
