STOTESBURY
Sep 18, 2014 - The portrait of Captain Stables at the west end of the Ballroom at Whitemarsh Hall which was a large estate located on 300 acres of land in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA, and owned by banking executive Edward T. Stotesbury and his wife, Eva. Designed by Horace Trumbauer, it was built in 1921 and demolished in 1980. Eva was born in 1865 in Washington D.C. To James Roberts. She was first married to a Cromwell but he then died. While on a cruise she met Edward Stotesbury and they soon married. Edward Townsend Stotesbury.
This mining camp is located on Winding Gulf Creek above Tams. It was originally operated by the E.E. White Coal Co. and named for E.T. Stotesbury, who was president of Beaver Coal Co. at the time. Mining was in the Beckley seam. The Koppers Coal Co. took it over in the late 1930s. The Beckley seam was mined out by the 1940s and they switched to the Pocahontas No. 4 seam, operating this mine until 1958. A second era for Storesbury began in the mid 1960s when Eastern Associated Coal rebuilt the mine (but didn’t reopen the company store, which closed in the 1950s). This operation, called the Keystone No. 4 mine, mined the Pocahontas No. 3 and No. 4 seams and lasted into the 1980s, being one of the first longwall mines in the area. A third era at Stotesbury began with the old mine being reopened by White Mountain LLC in 2001. They installed a new fan and bathhouse but the mine shut down in 2002, ending 90 years of coal mining in Stotesbury, WV.

St. John’s Baptist Church was for the African-American community in Stotesbury. There is even a modest cemetery behind the church. (November 1997 photo)
After years of neglect the church has fallen into severe disrepair, and will probably collapse in a few years. (January 2008 photo)

Italian immigrants just off the boat in Stotesbury. Actually, I must confess, two of them are my great grandparents, Pietro and Maria DellaMea. Their son, my grandfather, remembered, ’At mealtime, they’d put a pitcher of homemade wine on the table,’ and even the children could partake. Some families had a wine press, but grandpa said that his family stomped grapes into ’vino.’(1924 photo)
This photograph taken in April 2001 shows White Mountain Mining’s Stotesbury operation just before it opened. Three new orange scoops, as well as another piece of underground equipment painted white, are visable. This was just after the California brownouts of 2000-2001 had driven the price of coal up and everyone in coal country was optimistic. I even heard reports of steam coal selling for as much as 55 dollars a ton on the spot market. (April 2001 photo)
A year and a half later, when this picture was taken, the mine had shut down and the company was bankrupt. The ruins of the originial mine can be seen at the top of the reclaimed area. (November 2002 photo)
Still another year later the splashing sounds of the flooded mine could be heard through this fan that White Mountain Mining installed. (January 2004 photo)
Locked steel gates cover the manway slope portal at the Stotesbury mine that had been closed for about 5 years when this photo was taken, hence the weeds growing in the mantrip track. (April 2007 photo)

Although the operation had only been closed for about 5 years the local residents have begun piecemeal destruction of the bathhouse. (April 2007 photo)
More vandalism inside the bathhouse.(April 2007 photo)
