working at the tannery was the smell. He always carried a change of clothes and brought his dirty work clothes home in his lunch box.
The part of the article about the Cover Brothers and their interaction with the community and specially John Kesyer and his Big Survery, brought to mind a certain road within the county. This road in my early life was always called Cover’s Road. Its now called Keyser Rim Fire Road and is located on the mountain in the Little Devil Stairs area of Shenandoah Park.
The Cover’s not only put in the road but ran a sawmill in the area. As the story goes, and employed several local women to cook for the lumberjacks at the mill. One of these young ladies, a Mips Kendall, had met a Mr. Eddards or Eddins while at camp. They became intimate and she bore a child by said Eddins. The camp moved on, well certainly Mr. E. did, and the baby came. The child was sumamed after Miss Kendall and the given name was John.
Also, I recall while researching my Atkins ancestry, an old article from the Blue Ridge Guide where my forefather, Thomas Atkins was badly injured at the . Smoot Tannery near Spenryville.
