MORROW, GINN, PRINCE / COAL RUN COAL COMPANY COLLECTION
INTRODUCTION
The Morrow, Ginn, Prince / Coal Run Coal Company Collection was accessioned into the Flesh Public Library Archives and Special Collections on 5 March 1990 as accession no. 90/5. The collection was a donation from Ms Mary Isabelle Walker Hessler. The materials date from 1833 to 1957 and are contained in two Hollinger boxes and 95 files. There are no known restrictions on the use of the materials in these files.
The relationship between the Morrow family, the Ginn family, and the Prince family is established and documented in the collection. The relationship between the Coal Run Coal Company and the Gaylord and Gulick families is established and documented in the collection. There is no information in this collection that establishes a connection between the Morrows, Ginns, and Princes on the one hand and the Gulicks, Gaylords, and the Coal Run Coal Company on the other. These documents were found in the collection together, however their relationship to each other must be determined by further research.
