Jun 1989 - HUGH DOCKERY; Hugh Dockery, son of Tommy Dockery of Dockery's Gap, W Va., was born 22 Feb 1899, in Granby. His father was the marshall at one time; his mother would get nervous when she heard a gunshot in the streets. Hugh began working for the mines when he was a boy. He worked the Golden Rule, Crabapple, No 4 & the Mascot. You can pull an ore car through a shaft from the Golden Rule to the Mascot. He remembers: lots of businesses, Miners Bank, Citizens Bank, a bakery (Skillecorn family), a printing office, Cal Jefferson's livery stable, Tom Skaggs' store and Hershel Tanner's store, streets crowded with people, Stringtown (on the prairie) filled with tents, the town almost burning down, when the town rejected a cheese factory, Fed. Mining and Smelting Co buying Granby Mining and Smelting Co, the mines closing, miners going to area towns to work in the mines. Hugh and Mae have been married almost 62 years. She lost a leg to cancer about 25 years ago. She made stitches in quilts since her mishap. Granby's mining past doesn't seem so long ago when you visit with Hugh Dockery.
