Despite improvements to river traffic along the
rival Rivanna, as John Hammond Moore notes in
“Albemarle, Jefferson’s County, 1727-1976,”
“Scottsville continued to prosper.” The James
River and Kanawha canal opened in 1840 from
Richmond to Lynchburg; the Plank Road—
planked at least a part of the way from the
Rockfish Gap to Scottsville—brought more and
more of the Valley’s produce to town for shipment
to the capital and markets to the west. Moore
writes that “a traveler reported in May 1845 that
he saw at least 50 heavy wagons on [the road], and
in 1850, after continued improvements to the
turnpike, “70 mountain wagons” were counted
one day in Scottsville.
The produce of the fertile Shenandoah Valley,
wheat, tobacco, meat, bees wax and more, was
loaded on boats from warehouses around the canal
turning basin, now the grassy heart of Canal Basin
Square. Flour was inspected, an important activi-
ty for the town’s economic life, and the prosperity
all this trade generated gave Scottsville “twenty-one
stores, twenty-four mechanics shops of various
kinds, three taverns, a tobacco factory, and four
churches. Canal transportation eastward was conducted by nine freight boats and two packets.
Produce and freight valued at over one million dollars was being shipped annually,” according to
Moore.
Partaking of this prosperity, and adding to it, was
the Tutwiler family. Martin and his wife Mildred
owned property on both sides of Main Street; in
1832 they sold a lot to the Methodist Church for its
building. Martin ran “Tutwiler’s Tanyard” and was a
partner in a“100-foot-long tobacco storage” building, according to Tim Small, co-project manager of
Canal Basin Square. Some of Martin’s property
was in the path of the proposed canal and he
received money for it in compensation; he was also
contracted to build several locks west of town and
other canal-related structures, according to Tim.
Martin’s son Wesley Clark Tutwiler, born in
1823, bought two partial lots on Main Street in
1860, numbers 115 and 90 on the plat, to open a
boatyard serving the canal. (Tim researched this
through deeds recorded in Fluvanna County, where
the lots were then officially located.) This land is
immediately south of the street at the termination
of the levee. When Wesley owned it, the property
went from the edge of the canal and to the street.
Currently, while the street is still in place, the canal
has been replaced by the railroad and the CSX
owns most of the area that was the boatyard.
Wesley married Amanda Maria Moon; in the federal census of 1860 are listed Thomas P. Tutwiler,
their eldest child, and five others, including Lily,
Cover Story
who married Luther Pitts. An unrelated
man, age 22, was living in the household as well. Two more children were
born later. Wesley was astute enough
to make “special precautions to ensure
his wife…would retain control and profit from his investments, most notably
the Boatyard,” Tim writes. “After her
husband died in 1871 at the age of 48
years, she, only months younger, continued to operate the yard until the closing of the canal a decade later.”
Tim has found other documents
detailing the work of the boatyard, and
much of his research appears in the
informative plaques at canal Basin
Square. “The new Cora Lee sold for
$975; the R.B. Snead, a full sized deck
boat was defaulted;…another new boat
sold for $950 …built by Tutwiler in the
early 1870s.” Toward the end of the
canal period, the business would have
been mostly in repair and sale of used
boats. The Exchange sold in 1874 for
$900, and the full-decked R. E. Lee
sold in 1873 for $350. Tim says that
“John H. Briggs was superintendent of
the yard and acted as agent in the sale
of Tutwiler boats.” Thomas, Wesley’s
son, later acted as agent. Other names
associated with boat building in
Scottsville, most likely at Tutwiler’s, are
William H. Anderson and Benjamin F.

Gold Mines in Dillwyn
BY MARTHA LOUIS
CORRESPONDENT
ext time you pass thru
Dillwyn, notice the historical
marker on the south end of
town. This is what it says : This was the
most notable gold-mining region in the
country before the California Gold Rush in
1849. The Morrow Mine here, opened before 1835, was one of the earliest gold
mines in which underground mining was employed. Profitably worked for a number
of years, it was finally closed. Many other unworked mines are near by. The sign
was erected in 1930 by the Conservation and Development Commission.
The internet lists 24 mines in Buckingham alone, more than any other place certainly in Virginia. They are: Anaconda mine (Dillwyn), Anderson mine
(Andersonville), Apperson mine (Dillwyn), Bondurant mine(Andersonville)
Buckingham(Wiseman) mine (Dillwyn), Burnett (Staples)mine (Dillwyn), Copal
(Kopall) mine(Andersonville), Duncan mine (Dillwyn), Flood (James Anderson’s)
mine (Andersonville),Ford mine ( Diana Mills), Gilliam mine (Andersonville), Greelsy
(Ayers) mine (Dillwyn), Hudgins mine (Arvonia) ,Lightfoot (Cowan) mine (Diana
Mills), London and Virginia mine (Dillwyn),
Morrow (Booker, Garnett, Moseley) mine (Willis Mountain), Morton(Hobson) mine
(Dillwyn), Philadelphia(Allen) mine(Dillwyn), Rough and Ready mine (Dillwyn), Seay
mine (Willis Mountain), Williams mine (Dillwyn), Willis Creek (Andersonville),
Piedmont mine, Walker mine.
This list is not complete, but gives the reader at least a clue to the amount of gold
mining activity in the county. Near the end of the Civil War, Union troops began a
systematic campaign to destroy the economic base of the South. Many gold mines

were damaged beyond repair. Most were, by that
time, marginal producers and many never
reopened. Gold production in Virginia continued until
World War II, when, on October 8, 1942, the War Production Board issued
Limitation Order L-208 , which branded gold production as a non-essential and
directed all but the smallest of gold mines to shut down so their labor force could be
used elsewhere to support the war effort. For all practical purposes, commercial
gold production in Virginia ceased after 1948.
At its peak, Virginia was the third gold producing state, and the heart of the gold
production area was at the junction of Spotsylvania, Culpeper, and Orange counties
near Wilderness.
There is presently a very active group called “Central Virginia Gold Prospectors”
whose goal is to preserve the history of gold mining in Virginia. They are involved
in all kinds of volunteer programs at schools, civic groups, and other organizations.
Children and adults love to hear about gold mining and the kids always walk away
with a little nugget to keep. This is a great group of folks who meet in Buckingham
on a regular basis.
Thanks to the Central Virginia Gold Prospectors for keeping this part of
Virginia history alive and well !

enamel pots, quilts, prints, paintings and six shelves of old Ball
green jars, many with the original zinc lids.
The most impressive items, though, are the beautifully refinished furniture. There is a very sturdy and substantial oak
empire library table from 1910, tiger oak (also known as quarter sawn oak) dressers and side boards, more dressers and
tables, sideboards and beds in maple, mahogany, oak, walnut

and some leather covered pieces.
Feggans has a large workshop in an adjacent space. Here he
restores and refinishes furniture pieces that has arrived in
deplorable shape and brings it back to its original glory. Here
he also sorts and cleans the glass ware, china and odds and
ends brought in from auctions and estate sales.
Feggans began his collecting hobby as a teen by digging for
old bottles in his Esmont neighborhood. Although old bottles
rarely fetch much money, it was the thrill of the hunt and
anticipation of what he might find that excited him. “I don’t do
any of that anymore,” he said. Instead he attends auctions and
estate sales in addition to buying from customers who bring
items for his assessment. He said: “I really have too much stuff
already and don’t need any more right now.”
Everything is well organized and presented in a fashion that
makes all of it look very attractive. Feggans whole heartedly
credits his assistant, Betty-Jo Marshall, for the order in the
shop. “She has a definite knack for arranging furniture to its
best advantage“, he said. She has created a “bedroom” complete with bedside tables, lamps, a matching dresser with old
crocheted cloths and the bed has an old and beautiful coverlet. There is an appealing framed print above. It is very easy to

imagine that bedroom in your own home. There is also a “dining room” with a solid
tiger oak sideboard that has an impressive mirror, ornamental drawer pulls and
accessories fit to the period. In front of the side board is a dining room table set with
milk glass china. Naturally, there has to be a “living-room” and this area has a comfortable sofa, a beautiful coffee table and is surrounded by other restored pieces.
Marshall also takes care of the organization and classification of most of the collectibles. The iridescent glassware is on display in one place, the green Vaseline
and pink Depression glass all together in another, and the old china on one shelf.
Marshall had to explain to me what the shallow pottery dishes on one of the shelves
were used for. “These are McCoy planters. They were made in Ohio up until the
1980s,” she told me. Evidently McCoy planters have become another hot collectible
and if that is what you are looking for, look no further.
The business has been in existence for over a year. After college, where he studied electronics and robotics, Feggans did a two-year tour in the Air Force. He assisted in maintaining and troubleshooting circuit boards that was part of the huge computers used in those days. “They took up a whole room,” he said. After his military
service he joined the sales force at Colonial Auto in Charlottesville where he
remained for 20 years. “I would walk that lot, and walk that lot, all day long and
loved every minute of it”, he said. He retired with many sales awards and certificates
and left behind a lot of satisfied customers over the years. “You always have to take
care of the customer. You have to like people, and they in turn will appreciate your
honesty and integrity,” he said. That same customer service approach is evident as

T
he Scottsville Farmers’
Market pavilion was
filled with volunteers and vegetables, bread and bags for a
Tuesday, April 24, distribution
of emergency food assistance
from the Mobile Food Pantry.
Working in the midst of the
usual volunteers were Ellen
Davis and Perry Hickman of
Rural
Development,
the
United States of Agriculture’s
arm that supports economic
development in rural America
through loans, grants, and
technical assistance.

While the big refrigerated truck, the
Mobile Food Pantry from the Blue
Ridge Area Food Bank, was unloaded
of cabbages, onions, and other produce, rolls, and tuna fish, and the food
was divided into bags for each client,
Perry Hickman paused to describe how
Rural Development, which has been
instrumental in the funding of the pavilion and the new restrooms now being
built there, as well as helping to provide
Scottsville Living
police cars in town, were at the Market to “lend
a hand. We have a good history with the town
of Scottsville.”
Scottsville citizens have joined in by donating
food, money, and goods; a local Eagle Scout
built new shelves to store the groceries, and the
elementary school had a canned goods drive at
Christmas. “What great folks we have in this
community,” says Bonnie Cooper, who has
been instrumental in the development of food
assistance programs in Scottsville.
Town Administrator George Goodwin introduced Ellen Davis, the State Director of Rural
Development for the USDA. Ellen, handing
bags of food into waiting cars, said, “This is an
awesome project! We certainly know how
important Farmers’ Markets are to getting local
produce to local families, and this extended use
of the market helps, too. Fresh produce and
other healthy food is going to 400 families
today, and this is food that might have otherwise have been thrown out. We’re glad to
help.” George Goodwin pointed out that Rural
Development has done a major share through
its funding. Scottsville’s Market was one of
their first projects working with a contractor
and volunteer builders, and it now allows clients
to drive up for their food and volunteers to work
under a roof.
“This is how we’re supposed to take care of
each other,” Ellen said.

planted my first hedge when I was hired to 'clean up' a garden and
restore it to the original plan. I removed many seedlings and
renegade plants. Much of garden maintenance (as with many
artistic endeavors) involves removal. As a new homeowner, I had
nothing in my own yard except the bulbs my mother planted when
we bought the property. After restoring a few old gardens, I couldn't stand
to throw away all this plant material so I potted up 100 Japanese spirea
seedlings in one gallon pots; rooted sticks about 10" tall.
I let them stay
in the pots for a year or two. When they began to look robust, I planted
them in numerous curves or terraces around my garden beds, 10 at a time
planted 2' apart. Today, 30 years later, they designate the overall shape of
the garden beds on my several
acres.
My second series of hedges,
again from removed plants which
had overrun an old garden, was
winter jasmine. This roots like forsythia so to keep it as a hedge, it
must be tended. There is a good
example of this on Rt. 20, on the
right going north from Scottsville,
before leaving town. I've also seen
some nice camelia hedges in
bloom this of year.
After hundreds of tiny boxwoods, and numerous nandina, euonymous, lilac and, you
name it, I no longer pot up everything I pull. In fact, I have a problem with
too many crape myrtles, winterberries, sweetspire and so much more!
A screen is left untrimmed, a hedge is clipped. If there is only one plant,
let it fill out to its natural shape. With a dozen plants, a hedge is an option.
Clip slightly wider at the base to ensure light getting to the lower leaves,
careful to keep the outer edge a little loose to allow air and light into the center of the plant. This cuts down on fungus, and disease.
Spice viburnum makes a nice hedge. Rose of Sharon can be clipped to
match a picket fence sending hibiscus-like flowers peeking through the slats.
Privet, photinia, hemlock, and yew are often seen clipped sharp.
More
unusual are red or yellow twig dogwood for wetter areas, and any of the hollies. Weaving tiny hedges of thyme, sedums or santolini makes wonderful
knot gardens. Burning bush looks great, but is invasive and bamboo should
definitely be avoided.
Boxwood, always a favorite, needs some pruning to keep the inside leafy
and the outside smooth. There is a new blight attacking boxwood so keep
your pruners clean by dipping them in a bleach solution (Listerine will do)

The Problem with Complainers
Based on unscientific data, the number of complaints in Central Virginia is rising.
By my guesstimates, approximately 1,000,000,000%.
In addition to the usual complainers taking their rants to the next level (posting
long essays on Facebook, monologuing in response to the question, “How are
you?”), more amateurs are joining the kvetching chorus.
A number of factors are contributing to this rise in grievances: Taxes, unemployment, housing, schools, college tuition, utility bills, the lack of funds, the lack of winter (more bugs!), the media, and the quality of leadership at all levels of the government.
If we got a dollar for every time someone made a Thomas Jefferson reference
(“What would Jefferson say if he saw this … or “Thomas Jefferson once said … ”
and the yet-to-catch-on-but-soon to-be-popular, “Big T.J. saw what?!”) we might
able to afford the solution to many of these problems.
The bigger problem, however, is not the economy. It’s that many people these
days don’t know how to complain. Nor do they know who to complain to and when
to do it.
If you are concerned that I’m talking about you, try this test: Go the rest of the
day without complaining. If you say, “This test stinks! Forget this,” after five minutes because you’ve already complained twice, then yes, it’s you. If you complain
once or twice during the course of a full day, you’re normal. If you go an entire day
without a single gripe, you’re good. Really good. As in, you make Mother Teresa
look bad.
For the record, I am not “really good.” Or even just ”good.” I’m in the “getting
better” category.
You could say that I’m complaining about complainers. But you would be wrong.
I’m simply identifying an issue and doing something about it: by providing information on how to effectively complain in order to increase the chances of a positive
outcome.
This is what I’m talking about when I say that I’m “getting better.”
For example, this is a bad complaint:
“I went to that local restaurant the other day. The food was terrible and the portions were too small.”
This complaint’s even worse if you failed to share it with the manager shortly after
your meal arrived at your table but said it to all your friends and neighbors. Always
give the restaurant a chance to address a complaint while you’re there.
Same goes for any business: If you think you’re getting bad service or a poor product, the time to speak is when you’re receiving it or shortly thereafter to the people
who can fix it. And make the complaint to a manager or someone with authority.
Remember, elected government officials are public servants: Don’t like the proposed
tax changes or the proposed budget? Contact your representative before the vote.
Whenever you complain, be concise and make it clear what action you want taken
to address an issue, according to Complaints Board, a popular consumer complaints
website that offers useful tips and tricks.
Above all else: Stay. Calm. Like Aunt Maud used to say, “No one wants to deal
with a screaming Ninny.” Who would you rather help, someone being kind or polite
to you or the guy yelling insults?
If your unemotional, direct complaint to the person-in-charge fails to get results,
the Complaints Board recommends contacting a consumer advocacy group or the
state Attorney General’s Office. Posting an online complaint at the company’s site,
a blog, or your Facebook page sometimes generates enough negative publicity to
prompt positive actions from businesses. If the situation requires drastic action,
consider taking your complaint to small claims court or contacting the Federal Trade
Commission, which will launch a fraud investigation into a business if it receives
enough complaints about a business.
My editor’s favorite option: Write a letter to the local paper.

he greets those who wander in the door and shows them what he has to offer.
The furniture restoration part of the business evolved during his work with renovating furniture for his brother. “Betty-Jo is the one who finds me pieces worth
restoring,” he said. “She goes with me to some of the auctions and estate sales and
shows me furniture that is dented, missing pieces, scuffed and mistreated.” He refinishes, refurbishes and restores until Marshall doesn’t even recognize the piece she
made him buy.
The fact that Scottsville now has several places with both quality antiques and
sought after collectibles makes the town even more attractive as a destination for
those who drive around the “Antiquing Circuit” in central Virginia.
Having a shop where furniture is restored in the same location is truly an added
bonus.
The store stays open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and from
noon until 5 p.m. on Sundays. It is closed on Mondays. To get in touch with the
store call 286-2620 and the number to the work shop is 981-9357. If Feggans is
deep into his refinishing he will still hear you come into the store by the chime of
the bell above the door.

after each cut. Recycle a water bottle to hang around your neck at waist height so
you can dip and clip. This is advised for fire blight pruning as well. Always rake
up debris to discourage insects and disease. The county extension office offers a
chart of the timing schedule for best pruning results.
My privet hedge is clipped into a topiary, inspired by the vast plantings at Ladew
Gardens in Maryland. The top is a series of mounds with a tail at one end and a
head with feelers at the other so it looks like a giant caterpillar circling the patio. I
tried to clip a row of chickens out of privet but it looks more like rabbits. In my
most energetic gardening period, I got more involved with topiary. Lantana standards shaped like popsicles peeked through holes cut in a dense hedge. I placed
wire forms over plants to show where to cut. Of course, this soon got to be too
much and it has all grown back into a hedge. I still have one wire dressmakers
dummy with a camellia cut to shape and allowed to bloom in the appropriate places.
