Notes:

Henderson came from his uncle "Wm Henderson Toliver"

Why the family moved to Lee Co VA?

In 1901 the Yellow Creek Coal and Lumber Company was formed with E. S. Helburn, Joe Bosworth, J. G. Fitzpatrick and A. H. Rennebaum as owners of the company. These men, known locally as "The Yellow Creek Crowd" were active and influential civic leaders for many years. Their families were close friends with their wives working together on community activities and their children often intermarried. The strength of these men and others who owned the mines kept many of the mines operating as non-union mines for years.

In 1910, mine operators in District 19 refused to sign the UMWA contract when it came up for renewal. By 1919, there was again a strike to force the recognition of the UMWA in the mines. In 1921, the UMWA called a general strike that lasted into 1922. This idled twelve to fifteen thousand miners in the area. Nonunion miners who tried to work were threatened and even fired upon. Eventually all the mines were closed.
Finally the strike was settled and miners returned to work. In 1924, District 19 broke with the UMWA and accepted a reduction in wages. Then the depression hit and times were tough for all. Times remained unsettled through the 1930’s with boom and bust years for the coal industry.

Junior Earl Ridings, 84, beloved friend to Russell Boggs, passed away peacefully, at Roo Lan Health Care in Lacey, WA. He was better known as ‘Earl’ to his friends.

He was born May 14, 1936, in Fork Ridge, Tennessee, to Eugene and Hazel Ridings. While attending Rainier School in Buckley, Wash for quite some time, he began to work at a nursing home owned by Russell’s grandfather in Kent, WA. As time went on, the nursing home was sold by grandpa and Earl had become part of the family. Grandpa and Earl relocated to Onalaska, WA where, from bare ground, a farm was started. Earl worked by grandpa’s side on the farm. He enjoyed all aspects of farm life-taking care of the animals, haying (even in 90 degree weather) and the comradery of talking to other farmers that would stop by to visit. Junior also enjoyed riding his bicycle and going to church. Earl was the last of the “Dun Roamin' Ranch” era. A farm that he was always very proud of.

“Rest in Peace, my friend”….Russell Boggs

A graveside service will be held at 10:00 am, Saturday, August 1, 2020, at Alpha Cemetery in Onalaska, WA.
