Lechner Mining Machine Company employees photograph

One of the first group photographs of Lechner Mining Machine Company employees. In 1876, Joseph Jeffrey formed a partnership with Francis Lechner and Francis Sessions, to for the Lechner Mining Machine Company. After several years, the partners succeeded in producing the world’s first coal mining machines. In 1887, Jeffrey bought out the other partners and formed The Jeffrey Manufacturing Company. A year later, in 1888, the company moved to its First Avenue location. The Company manufactured cutting machines, conveyors, and mine locomotives for the coal mining industry. In 1946 the Company name was changed to the Jeffrey Company. Jeffrey Mining Products was sold to Dresser Industries, Inc. of Dallas in 1974. By 1987 most of the original plant buildings had been torn down.
