Description	:	Burial: Fox Cemetery Newcomb Campbell County Tennessee, USA The information below was provided by Lee's Daughter, Katie Lamb: "Like many folks in the area, Lee had been a coal miner, but a bad accident left his leg injured. His draft card states he worked for Regina Coal Co. (which is where his daughter Katie's Middle Name and his grand-daughter's first name came from), and notes "left leg off."

His draft card states he worked for Regina Coal Co. (which is where his daughter Katie's Middle Name and his grand-daughter's first name came from), and notes "left leg off." Lee had been brought into his home's kitchen. When it came time to amputate his leg, Lee rested the damaged limb over a chair back while they sawed it off, with no mention that any anesthesia was involved. Lee practiced an herbal lore that is rare in today's U.S.A., more common among people whose generations have lived close to the land around them. It is not known if his was learned lore, if he was born to it, or both. Word had it that even a rattlesnake-bit dog would go to Lee, and if it made it to him in time, Lee would heal it. Lee recovered from his leg injury. No longer suited to coal mining, he became a teacher for the local children of miners. He also carved his own artificial leg. Better to call it a prosthetic limb; it had fully articulated joints. Apparently, on the East coast of the U.S., a manufacturer of prosthetics learned of Lee's work and offered him a job at their firm. But Lee had found his calling as a teacher of the local children and he declined the offer. He would stay in the hills and with their people." Lee's leg is buried at Lamb Mountain Family Cemetery.
