Henry and Rachel Listed

ancestry.com posting:
Viola Davidson Farmer gives Henry's birthdate as August 18, 1848. Viola
writes: "When he was a small boy, his family moved to Harlan, Kentucky.
They were farm people, who trace their blood lines back through Daniel
Boone to England. Henry acquired quite a bit of education, his father
having bought and used a large, well-selected library, at one time
thought to be the best in Kentucky. Henry had a deep understanding of
English and mathematics. He taught school in several places throughout
the state. In those days a man could impart whatever knowledge he
possessed and never mind about a license and grades, etc. To be able to
write, read and figure was a pearl of great price and parents were most
anxious that their children should have as much of this necessary gift as
they could possibly get. He lived in Montgomery County, a few miles from
Mt. Sterling, and brought his farm there to high production. He
understood surveying and road building, also the use of water and
drainage. He kept a school going on his farm, teaching some of the time
or hiring it done at other times. He joined the Masons when he was
twenty-three years old and continued in good standing with a lifetime
membership until his death.

About 1903, Henry Farmer sold his farm in Kentucky and moved to
Loving, New Mexico. This was a tragic move in a financial way, going as
they did to the dry arid section, where they had to depend upon water
allotments after the lush fields of Kentucky. When the irrigation dam
went out the land became of little value and the Farmers left for greener
pastures. After several years of looking about they finally settled on a
farm between Halsey and Shedd on the Brownsville. They lived there until
the children were grown and they had retired."

Henry is buried in the Shedd Cemetery; Shedd, Linn County, Oregon

A LOOK AT 1896 BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL
LISTINGS IN HARLAN COUNTY ^©
by Holly Fee-Timm
[originally published 30 December 1987
Harlan Daily Enterprise Penny Pincher]
In 1896, a statewide listing of businesses and professionals was published covering the year 1895-1896. At that time Harlan County and its county seat, then known as Mount Pleasant, was an isolated area but the length of its listing was surprising. The list itself mentioned only the name and occupation of various individuals some of whom are listed here with some additional information. Notice that many of them were related to each other in some way.
Abner Lewis Coldiron was born about 1832, son of William and Leah Lewis Coldiron. The gazette listing reads "Abner L. Coldiron & Son General Store" and the son referred to is probably Andrew Jackson Coldiron who was living next door to his father in the 1900 census. Abner's first wife was Lucy Ann Ball, daughter of Moses and Ellender Richardson Ball, early settlers on Catrons Creek.

Sheriffs of Harlan County Kentucky

Sheriffs Of Harlan County, Kentucky
In researching the Coldiron family for many years, I have been collecting notes on the Sheriffs of Harlan County. This is partly because some of my relatives have been Sheriff of Harlan County, and also because the office has been an interesting one to study - receiving national attention in the 1930's. I have tried without success to locate a chronological list of these colorful characters but there doesn't seem to be one available. What follows is an attempt to list them in order in which they served, including historical and genealogical information on each from the notes in my files. I caution readers that some of the genealogy information has not been verified against original sources.
In Harlan Footprints, Vol 1, No. 2, Dec 1982, page 25, editor Holly Fee included an overview of the office of Sheriff in an article titled Background. It is included below to give the reader an orientation to the office.
Prior to 1851, the County Court not only filled their own vacancies but appointed other county officials. The County Clerk, Constables, the Coroner and the Surveyors of the Roads were all life appointments. The County Attorney served for one year; the Jailer served "at the pleasure of the Court." Tax Assessors and Collectors were appointed yearly. The two year term of Sheriff was the most powerful and financially rewarding office in the county. The County Court was generally bound to recommend to the Governor the most senior of their magistrates for the office of Sheriff until 1851 when the office became an elected position and some of its power was diluted by the office of County Judge. In financial terms, the office of Sheriff was rewarding as it received commissions for the collecting of taxes, both county and state, and fees for the execution of Judgments, serving of summonses, etc. There was also good opportunity for illegal profit particularly by the demanding of an additional percentage for the execution of judgments. On a statewide basis, the office was often sold or leased, wholly or partially. The Sheriff was also powerful politically as he was the chief election officer in the county and was often involved in local election disputes and sometimes outright fraud. Indirectly, a Sheriff held great influence over many voters by the simple tactic of using the threat of serving a summons or executing a judgment if the vote was not as he indicated.
Harlan County was established in 1819. It previously was part of Knox County.
The period each Sheriff served (in parentheses after each name) was obtained primarily from reading the Harlan Co. Court Orders from 1829 to 1950, and from reviewing election results from 1950 to present. It has been impossible to determine the complete period every Sheriff served - those who were in office up to about 1880 are not mentioned frequently in the Court Orders. When only one year is given, as in (1838), it indicates that a reference was made in the Court Orders identifying the Sheriff at that time. He could also have been Sheriff slightly before and after that period. The numbers after the period served refer to the references listed at the end of the article. Here they are - as much as I know about them - the Sheriffs of Harlan County.
*Abner Lewis Coldiron (1882) 1, 22
Abner was my great-grandfather. He was born 2 Mar 1830, Harlan Co., KY, son of William (Billie) Coldiron (listed above) and Leah Lewis. He married first to Lucy Ann Ball in about 1850, Harlan Co., KY, and they raised 11 children in Harlan Co. Lucy Ann died in 1890 and Abner married second to Mary Farley on 3 Sep 1896 in Harlan Co. This marriage ended in divorce. Abner died 1 Jul 1911 in Baxter, Harlan Co., KY, living his entire 81 year lifetime in Harlan Co. He is believed to be buried in the Old Coldiron Cemetery back of the Harlan Municipal Water Works in Coldiron Heights. We have documented 1,009 direct descendants of Abner Lewis Coldiron and Lucy Ann Ball located across the United States.
