Ironton Register, July 24, 1856 - Amanda Furnace - This valuable property in Kentucky, just above Ironton is offered at auction by the Executors of the late A. Paull.

Ironton Register, August 13, 1857 - Amanda Furnace, a mile above Ironton, on the Kentucky side, has been purchased of the Executors of the late A. Paull, by E. Child and Geo. P. Rogers, our fellow-citizens, and Geo. P. Walker, of Greenup Co. It has 5,500 acres of land, and the portion susceptible of cultivation is to be surveyed immediately, divided into farms, and offered for sale. The ore land, &c., will be reserved for the Furnace.

Ironton Register, July 14, 1864 - As previously announced Amanda Furnace, Kentucky, opposite this place, was sold on last Saturday, to the highest bidder, and knocked off to the Bellfont Furnace Company at $35,200, which is a slight advance over the price offered by Murdock & Co. some three months ago, viz: $28,500. - It was supposed that the first sale consummated was final, but the owners objected and made the sale void. Not being present we did not learn the particulars of the bidding which was undoubtedly spirited to run it up to that price.

Ironton Register, August 9, 1888 - George Miller, one of our intelligent German citizens, worked at Amanda furnace when he first came to this country. That was in 1853. Amanda seems such an ancient place that it sounds singular for a man to talk about working there. Ever since the present generation was on deck, Amanda has been a deserted place. Mr. Miller worked there for a year or more and then went to Belfont, where (NEED END OF ARTICLE)

PRINCESS

County, Kentucky
Built:
By:

Ironton Register, August 9, 1883 - From Ashland Independent - We learn that the material of the Princess Furnace, exclusive of the ore pile, has been sold for $10,000 to parties who will remove it to a few miles beyond Lowmoor, Va., where it will be set up again for the manufacture of iron. This furnace and its predecessor, the Buena Vista, have been worked for a long time with profit, but the company owning the lands have two other furnaces near, which we suppose is sufficient to work up the valuable ore, stone coal, and charcoal on the lands. The furnace is located in a lovely and picturesque valley, where there is a white sulphur spring, said to be of the same quality of water as that of the celebrated White Sulphur Springs of Virginia; there are also blue sulphur springs of great medicinal value near, and all the conditions are favorable for making a fine watering place and popular health resort.

     There are good roads and drives to Ashland, Catlettsburg, Coalton, and to the depot of the A. C. & I. and C. & O., which is but one mile distant, and there are already several fine buildings and cottages on the grounds, showing the good taste of W. W. Culbertson when he ran the furnace, and the good workmanship of Esquire G. W. Clere, his boss carpenter. There is a fortune in this if an enterprising man should lease the property, and open it up to the public.
