Shortly after he and Hattie married they moved to Thurber, Erath Co. TX. Coal was discovered in the extreme northwestern part this county. It became the leading coal-producing area of the state by the end of the century, supplying coal for the Texas & Pacific Railway Company's locomotives. The mines closed in 1888 when the company could not meet its payroll obligations, but reopened when a New York grocer and investor, H. K. Thurber, brought in an infusion of cash.
Thurber was completely a company town. Only company employees and their families, schoolteachers and members of the clergy could live there. Since the company owned everything in town, there were no taxes. There was no city government, and the mining company paid for law enforcement, furnished the school building and supplemented state and county funds for teachers and school operating costs.
There were nearly 20 different nationalities or racial groups represented, including Italian, Polish, English, German, Austrian, Irish, Chinese and black, living in the town.
After years of labor agitation, the United Mine Workers organized d Thurber's miners in 1903. The strikes and strife may have been the reason John and Hattie left.
John and Hattie's five oldest children were born in Thurber.
