Hello I'm Kortne Crenshaw from Muscoda Alabama.
Muscoda or Muscoda Village is a community in the vicinity of Readers Gap south of Bessemer which was founded in the 1880s by the Smith Mining Company as an ore-mining camp.
The Smith company was acquired by the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company in 1889. Under the supervision of Don Bacon, they improved the mine works, making Muscoda the Birmingham District's most productive ore mine complex. The architectural firm of Wheelock, Joy & Wheelock was hired to design houses for workers, foremen and superintendents and their families that were constructed by C. D. Ratliffe. Later expansions were undertaken by TCI building superintendent John A. Baird.
The mines were sold in the 1940s to the Woodward Iron Co., which developed the Pyne Mine hoistway in Shades Valley to access the lowest part of the mine. Woodward closed the Muscoda mine openings in 1953, but continued to extract ore from the Pyne shaft until 1971.
Lately I've been doing research on my family attempting to create an accurate family tree for my family members that wanna know more about us and I've discovered so much I just hate that my grandparents Calvin & Agnes Crenshaw are no longer alive because I have so many things to ask them.
Relation:Sherman/Bell/Crenshaw/Anderson/Blevins
Locations: Dallas County/ Plateau/Prichard/Muscoda
Please feel free to contact me if you wanna talk about anything or feel as if we may just be related or know a family member of mines I'd love that so much.
