• Name	Jory, Arthur
  Born	18 Feb 1876	Wheal Ellen, St. Agnes, Truro, Cornwall, England   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Buried	Jun 1947	St. Agnes, Truro, Cornwall, England

  Notes	Note: He was a mining engineer and mining manager. At one time he was in charge of all underground miners at the South Crofty Mine, Poole, Cornwall. There is a model of the mine that Arthur designed and constructed in the Cornwall County Museum in Truro. Arthur travelled around the world as a mining engineer to India, Nicaragua, North and South America and Spain. Arthur and his first wife Helena lived in Mount Hawk for a time and then in Pednandrea Bungalow in Redruth in the 1930s. It appears that Arthur was separated from his wife at this time. He had bad asthma attacks and lived as a bachelor for nearly 14 years. Arthur married for a second time in 1946 after the death of his first wife. Apparently, Arthur and Helena were separated, but never formally divorced. He married Phebe Jane VINCENT in 1946 and when Arthur died a year later from liver cancer and brain cancer, he left everything to his second wife. The gross value of his estate was £773, 11 Shillings and 8 pence.

I have checked, there was an Albert Jory, same age, raised in Guernsey in St. Peter Port so these records do not apply)

• Photos » Slide Show		Arthur Jory - 1876 This image is of Arthur at age 22, likely 10 Sep 1898 at his wedding to Helena Willougby. The image is held by Mike Osman (Cornwall UK). Roy Morton (Cornwall UK) photographed the image onto a transparency and later (Dec 2008) digitized the image.
  		Arthur Jory and father James Jory Arthur is standing next to a model he built of a mine shaft timber work and the pumping and winding arrangement. The pump rod is clearly visible, the top of which would have been attached to the nose of the beam engine. This model demonstrates the timber shafting, the pump rod, the pump at the base. For general information on early mine pumps, engines, and operations, see the Wikipedia article.

  		Sara's Shaft - Wheal Kitty, Cornwall, England This picture was taken just prior to the Bob being thrown off its stool and smashing into the cylinder below. A sad day as the engine was good but the price of tin was low and mines were closing all around. The fellow in the lower right with the arm in the sling is Arthur Jory. What he didn't know about mining could be written on a pin head with a felt tip. He appears in some of the South Crofty pictures replacing a beam that had broken and fallen into the top of the shaft. The photo's are 1926... This image was copied from Roy Morton's photo archive on aditnow.co.uk. Please visit Roy's collection at aditnow.co.uk
