On April 3, 1902, Charley Weathers married Nora Elizabeth West. Nora and Charley moved to the Coal Hill bottoms
(Cottonwood) and stayed about a year then moved back to Coal Hill. They moved in a little house on the hill, at the north
end of main-street
about ¼ mile north of the highway. They lived there until about 1906. Charley worked in the mines several miles away toward Alix. The name
of the mine was "Pocket and Rafters". The winters were very rough and Charley had to walk to work. Sometimes Charley would stay with friends
near the mine or sleep on a cot at the mines. Sometimes Charley couldn’t get home for days at a time. Nora was there with her little girl
and expecting another.
After Charley got married and moved out Vina was alone again. Vina got sick in 1906 and Charley and Nora moved back in
with her. They never moved out of the old Weathers house after that. They took care of Vina until she died.
Charley and Nora had five children:
Celia Pearl Weathers born June 1, 1903
Claude "Ted" Weathers born May 17, 1905
Harold Eugene Weathers born June 19, 1907
George Woodrow Weathers born May 28, 1909
Charles Earnest "Pert" Weathers born December 16, 1911 |
