The company that owned the mine was known as the "Washington Mining Company" and then the "Silver Hill Mining Company"; it was largely controlled by a group of New York investors who also controlled the company town where workers and their families lived. During the American Civil War, lead from the mine was used to manufacture Confederate bullets. The historic Beck's Reformed Church Cemetery is located within the town. References
