COL. JOSEPH L. BEURY Colonel Joseph Lawton Beury is credited with mining the first New River coal in 1873. He continued to be one of the greatest individual factors in West Virginia ' s development in the coal industry for thirty years after this achievement. At the time of his death in 1903 he was an officer and director in more than a score of the largest organizations in the southern section of the state, owning and operating coal lands and mines. Much of his remark- able success was attributed to his exceptional knowledge of practical economic geology. Two sons, Thomas C and Henry B., and one daughter, Mrs. Daisy Ethel Nichol, survive.
