This was originally published in 1999 and shared on a web page I owned in 2010 which is defunct (2020). I recently noticed a Carter County, Kentucky genealogy page has a broken link so decided to again share it for my audience. Please note that there are some line issues because I was using an early computer program at that time.

James Matthew Klaiber
James Matthew6 Klaiber (John (Johann) Andrew (Andreas)5, Matthais4, Matthais3, Michael2, Thomas1) was born 21 June 1857 in Catlettsburg. Greenup Co, KY. He was born on Catletts Creek. in the portion of the county that was partitioned as Boyd County when he was three years old.
His father, John Andrew Klaiber was the American progenitor of the family, arriving in America, from Germany, in 1854. A bootmaker by trade, John Andrew was able to move into Catlettsburg, Kentucky by 1864 where his business grew monthly. Catlettsburg was a prospering community and bustling river front town. During the Civil War government stores were set up not far from their home. In 1864 troops marched through the town much to the wonder of a seven year old boy. As the war came to a close the logging trade once again flourished and with it a growth of hotels and saloons. With six children and more on the way, John Andrew and his wife Mary Ann [nee McBrayer] packed their belongings, sold their town property and moved to the country. They settled on Garner, leading to East Fork and back to the Big Sandy River. The road to their property was nothing more than the creek bed later known as Long Branch. The family still traded in Catlettsburg, sold and repaired shoes and were also able to tap further into the logging trade, by logging the land and hauling the logs, on skids pulled by oxen to the river wharf.
James Matthew helped with all aspects of farm life, including logging, and most importantly the repair of equipment.. When he was 21 he married Martha Kathryn Stewart, 11 September 1878. Kathryn was the daughter of Landon Stewart and Eliza Banfield. They were married by Lindsey Fannin at her parents home on Jack=s Fork. He was active in the newly organized sabbath school at Green-hill and was able to file an indenture for 61 acres from William and Mary Ross in 1888 and by 1892 had purchased 57 acres on on the left hand fork Jack=s Fork But farm life was hard. They had six small children and there had been disputes with members of the Stewart family over a horse that ended in a court case in James Matthew=s favor. James Matthew tried his hand at coal mining just over the hill, in Rush, but equipment on the farm and at the mines were always in need of repair. He had learned blacksmithing at a very early age and was proud of his skills.. He was a farmer, not a coal miner and quickly returned to tend his acres and concentrate on his blacksmith skills. In May 1897 the courts granted James Matthew Klaiber a divorce and a year later the land on Jack=s Fork was sold because of liens.
Devoting his energy to farming, he found that more and more neighbors came for blacksmith repairs and help. At the age of 40 he married Amanda McGlothlin, the widow of Anson Pope, 01 June 1898 in Boyd Co, KY, daughter of Robert McGlothlin and Rebecca Correl.. Sadly she lived only a short time after their marriage and he married (3) Julina Leoto Sexton 02 April 1905, daughter of Henry Sexton and Julina McCormac[k].
He now owned property in Boyd, Carter and Lawrence County. besides farming, he operated the blacksmith shop, on his farm, for the area. He also kept up the tools of his trade and new techniques through a subscription to the American Blacksmith during the early 1900's. His blacksmith equipment was well maintained.
James Matthew made his desk from an old crate with drawers designed from cigar boxes. The drawers held everything from nails to shoe the oxen and horses, to slips of receipts for eggs and blacksmith services. The shop was made from board sawed on the farm and nestled near a branch that eventually flows from Long Branch to the East Fork of the Sandy River.
His anvil was a well cared for, typically described in pattern as a London anvil, having a horn and one hardie hole. It was mounted on a sufficient log stump. His tool array included straight lipped and round nosed tongs, a handle punch, hoof clipper, shoeing hammer, and rasps. And with the convenience of modern equipment, he was able to have a rotary blower.
He was an extremely active man working the farm, cutting timber, hauling coal over Rush Hill from the small mines with oxen, and in later years watching the rock crusher on his property above the barns where his shop had been. Besides his six children form his first marriage and four step children in his household for a time by his 2nd marriage, James Matthew had two more children, Martha and John Henry Powell Sexton Klaiber with his 3rd wife Julina Leota Sexton Horton Klaiber.
Interested in local affairs and politics, in 1948, at 91 years of age, he appeared in Ripley's Believe It or Not. He had voted in the same precinct for 70 years. His portrait, taken from a small submitted photo was one of the last drawings Ripley did prior to Ripley's death. Mail arrived from all across the country to congratulate James Matthew Klaiber. Many with the Klaiber surname wrote seeking to find out if they were related.
The blacksmith ledger was diligently kept, if only for a short time, at the desk that James Matthew designed. It is a reflection and sampling of life, neighbors and work on Garner, Boyd County, Kentucky. All spelling of names and items are copied as spelled in the original ledger. Extractor comments are in [ ].
